AnTuTu Score Comparison
The AnTuTu scores reveal a different story, the Xolo A510s got a score of 10,882 on AnTuTu, which is a good score for this MediaTek chipset but lags behind the Snapdragon bearing Xperia E1 Dual and the Broadcom chipset of the Galaxy S Duos 2.
NenaMark Score Comparison
The A510s was able to squeeze out 41.3 FPS on NenaMark 2 which is healthy score meaning high-end games should definitely be playable. But this score is nowhere near the top scores in this segment even though the Xolo A510s has 1 GB RAM.

Conclusion
The XOLO A510s arrives in an overcrowded segment with decent specs, something extra namely 1 GB RAM and a 5 MP camera with excellent construction. Overall the phone looks quite premium for the asking price. You can also see in our performance benchmarks that the XOLO A510s can easily stand with the best of them in this segment even though its priced less than the top tier.
With a price of about Rs. 7000 as of this writing, the XOLO A510s definitely has that something extra which might make it the better choice in this segment.
