Xolo Play Tegra Note tablet to launch in India on December 16

Last week, Xolo’s Nvidia Tegra-powered tablet called the Play Tegra Note was spotted on an Indian e-commerce site, which was an indication that a launch was nearby. Today the company has sent us a media invite for the tablet’s launch event later next week on December 16.
To recap, the Xolo Play Tegra Note is powered by a Tegra 4 SoC featuring a quad-core Cortex A15 CPU, which also includes a fifth core for better battery efficiency and a massive 72-core GeForce GPU. Other features include a 7-inch (1280×800 pixels) display, 5-megapixel rear camera, VGA front camera with software add-ons like Camera Awesome app, 16GB of internal storage that can be expanded to up to 32GB using a microSD card and a battery that is good enough for 10 hours of HD video playback.
The tablet runs on pure Android Jelly Bean and Nvidia will be pushing OTA Android updates rather than relying on its hardware vendor partners. The tablet is also bundled with a double-sided stylus, which essentially lets users operate the tablet using both the tips of the stylus.

Though we are a few days away from the official launch, the online retailer revealed the tablet’s price to be Rs 18,990.
