Intel is launching a smartphone in Africa called the Yolo which will sell for $125 via Safaricom and as you might expect, is not exactly a high-end device with a 3.5 inch screen with resolution of 320 x 480 and is powered with a single-core 1.2GHz processor and HSPA+ connectivity and the mystery is who actually built the handset...

That's the 3d graphics bar. In other words it's good at those.

Lava xolo x500 has been announced in India, it is more or less the same as yolo. There are very less genuine phone manufacturers in India most of them get it manufactured by a Chinese company and sell them under their name. I would have bought xolo x 900 if it had expandable memory and removable battery.

very very interesting move by intel..but i thought that the yolo phone was a phone by another company? they should change that since most companies now has the "sue flu"!
anyways cant wait for what more intel going to bring to the mobile market! i wish an i7 phone! WP8/9,BB10 or android(even though i dont like this) i'll try it!

why is intel taking backs.. they release the first intel- base phone under the lenovo name but only made available in china... they only make few releases even though their phone chips are comparable to what ARM-base can bring... come on intel you can do better than that! you got loads of money!!
