Actually I m currently using infinix hot note pro. And previously I have used honor 3c so this z10 is looking appearing and it got some good reviews on PW so through to give it a try. As I want to buy a new phone for my mother.
But after reading nabeel feedback I will surely ditch this brand.

Qmobile is not even a brand. Better to buy Samsung J5 in this price budget.

J5 never going to happens it has low ram and even lack the simplest auto brightness sensor.

LTE should also be in J5.

And i guess, price would be around 25k

1.5 ram is not bad either. P8 lite is a good option too

But in this price at least ram should be 2gb(my opinion) and auto brightness is a must have sensor now a days don't know how Samsung missed it. I can live without LTE but not auto brightness.

J series performance is quite good, no hanging or freezing issues, but minor occasional stutters in UI occur, but nothing major. Price is very reasonable considering that its Samsung.

Currently only non warranty model has LTE, and both sim slots are 4G supported, i use Warid and Zong 4G without having to switch sims physically. I think Noir Z10 has only one 4G enabled sim slot AFAIK.

The best thing about Galaxy J5 is its design, the display replacement is done from front side and does not require you to open the phone screws, motherboard or anything at all. So even after display replacement, the phone remains completely sealed and untouched internally.

In most other phones, display changing requires removal of lots of other components from motherboard or even the whole motherboard sometimes, which literally ruins the phone. I think J7 has the same display repairing way too, i will confirm tomorrow.

Do you have LTE version of J5 if yes so what's the model no.?

[zuhaibafzal]

Samsung launching same specs phone with different model nos like J5(2016) A3(2016) and O3. All these phones have almost same specs.

[s15]

Do you have LTE version of J5 if yes so what's the model no.?

Yeah, i have the LTE version J500G/DS.

I also have the warranty version J500H/DS (3G) too.

[zuhaibafzal]

I'm not getting good battery backup from iPhone 6S that's why I'm considering budget phone for heavy usages.

From where did you buy LTE version and for how much?

From where did you buy LTE version and for how much?

Friend purchased from Malaysia, but available in market for ~20,000 for brand new. LTE version is a bit hard to find, but available.

For heavy usage, you can have a serious look at Lenovo Vibe P1M. Its ~17000/- for brand new with warranty.

4000 mah battery with the ability to charge other phones, great display, 4G support, performance is perfectly fine for day to day usage and slightly better than J5. Camera is not too good, but you have IPhone 6s, so no worries. 7 friends purchased it on my recommendation for use with a flagship and everyone is loving it. Lenovo Vibe series is very reliable.

Just an approximate idea of the battery timings I achieved on these devices.

Vibe P1M or Lenovo P70 can give upto 10-12 hours of screen time with 2-3 days of charge.

Galaxy J5 can give upto ~6-8 hours of screen on time with 1-2 days of charge.

P8 lite can give upto ~4 hours of screen on time with 1 day of charge.

Note: Most Android phones have 3-5 hours of screen on time with 1 day of charge, which is actually considered very good in general.

Thanks bro for your suggestion. Let the Galaxy J5 (2016) come then i'll decide

These are good figures for battery backup. My 90% of the usages is surffing internet on wifi. If it gives me 10hr usages of internet I would be happy.

Huawei y6 seems to be a good mid range phone as it has li-po battery and decent camera. Anyone has hands on it?
