Everything Specs
For a phone that costs $70, XOLO Era 2 isn’t really that bad. You surely can’t expect IPS or AMOLED display here, instead, there is a TFT capacitive touchscreen with 480 x 854 pixels resolution. Set that resolution to a 5″ screen and you get, well… not so sharp and quality picture. Hardware is a department where Xolo Era 2 doesn’t shine either. A 1 GB of RAM and 8 GB of internal storage aren’t something to look forward to, but it’s understandable for the price you pay. At least, we get full-fledged Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) on this device and it works great.
As we said, performance isn’t great here and gaming would be sluggish and buggy with Mali-400MP3 GPU. Of course, you can play less-demanding titles just fine. The surprise here is the battery. It’s a Li-Ion 2350 mAh battery, which is pretty good here. It will keep your phone alive for at least two days with out the need to recharge.

For a smartphone of this price, Xolo Era 2 did good for me, until i've changed it for a new phone few days ago. I don't like its 5" screen with a small resolution but the battery worked well for me. Design also looks cheap and not that great.
