The XOLO Q1011 is surely the best of the lot but the Windows Phone 8.1 powered Micromax Canvas Win W121 gives it a good fight. The XOLO Q1011 features better camera, bigger battery and a faster processor while the Canvas Win features more storage. It’s also a matter of which platform you like, Google’s Android 4.4 KitKat or Microsoft’s Windows Phone 8.1. We are pretty sure that neither of these devices will disappoint you. The XOLO Q1011 is surely the better device on paper but for the storage. If you are okay with 4 GB internal storage, you should go with the XOLO device or you can go ahead with the Canvas Win W121.
