A question before buying X900

[Guest TimusEravan]

Hello,

I currently have the Nokia N900. The phone is fantastic (it is really a pc:) ) but there is hardly any development going on it. Pity about futher maemo dev from nokia. Now I am thinking of getting the Xolo X900 but I had a question regarding emulators.

I use emulators a lot on my phone.

Does the X900 support the emulators available on the app store - specifically the Retro Arch?

Thanks in advance.

Yep, Retro Arch is supported by this phone and so do other emulators

[Guest BlueMoonRising]

If you're interested in development however you're out of luck with the OSD, we have root but no unlocked bootloader and in all likelihood never will.

Yeah, don't expect any custom ROMs

[Guest TimusEravan]

Great to know that Retro Arch is supported :)

Can you tell me the performance about the emulators in RetroArch.

I expect that PSOne and N64 wont be good but what about SNES and GBA?

[Guest TimusEravan]

Anyone? I need to know this before making a decision :)

The other phone I am considering is Xperia U

[Guest utternoob]

PSX is good. GBA also

I used to have an Xperia U and it is worse for sure. The screen on the Xperia U does have better colours though. It is quite chunky though too

Thanks everyone for your replies. I have placed order online. I got it for 11.9K. :D

Is there any case for this phone like the Poetic Slimline for Nexus 7?

No you won't find any of those type for a phone

Got the phone last week. The display and performance at this price point is incredible. The call quality is also excellent.

Very happy with the purchase :)
