Cell Phones Dedicated Discussion (Market Prices/ Troubleshooting/ Advice/ Recommendations)

[k-four-nine]

Many latest budget QMobiles have professional camera modes, including J series but J series display quality is not very impressive, though their other latest Noir S or other series have pretty good display quality.

QMobiles fit and finish and overall quality has improved a lot. Apart from Q logo, everything feels premium for their respective low price tags. Plus QMobile after sales is miles better than Infinix.

I was not a fan of their budget phones, but now they are good options to consider, atleast not bad. Z series is also very good overall.

Better than Infinix overall and not as crappy as it used to be.

Qmobiles...!

There's a lot of debate whether a Qmobile is worth it or nor... And trust me, in most cases, its not...!

Qmobile is just a company, a face... It's doesn't have any R&D Department... It doesn't have a manufacturing facility... They just buy phones mostly from Chinese anonymous manufacturers in bulk, slap on their name and BOOM...! You've got yourself a phone...

Ever wondered why there's virtually no consistency in Qmobile products...?

Why some Qs run on stock Android while others runs on heavily customized one...???

Because of THIS...!!!

But yes, Gionee Re-branded ones are indeed fantastic... I tried Z14 at a demo-shop and it was so fluid and fast, it reminded me of iPhones...!

Infinix's after sales is good as far as Lahore is concerned. And infinix phones are going on like champs which I have bought for my family and friends. My sister's infinx hot 2 was one of few phones which got earliest marshmallow updates. Their software development department exists, no idea about q though.

Infinix don't worth it... Trust me, they don't... They're not exactly garbage, per se... But they get pretty close to being one...!

Okay, they provide relatively better and faster SoCs but at the end of the day; you get a heavily "compromised" smartphone...

Good on the hardware fort but lacking in every other category...

I have had an opportunity to try an Infinix at a demo shop at Hafeez Centre, an Infinix Note 2 LTE... It was indeed quite fast, but the build was flimsy, all plastic and creaky, the display was dim and quite pathetic and I'm sure I'd have found more faults if I had spend some considerable time with one...! In which case, the shopkeeper would've gone impatient...!

Anyhow, The same is true about Xiaomi, albeit to a lesser extent in most cases...

And that's where Oppo butts in...

Have you seen The Oppo A37...?

The build quality and the crazy bright IPS Display can actually hold a candle against an iPhone and its signature Retina Display... Its a SOLID well built phone with fantastic cameras, specially when you consider its relatively meager price-tag of around 17 Grands... Okay, 17 Grands for a Quad-Core Smartphone might seem like a LOT, but when you consider the metallic unibody construction, Gorilla Glass 3 protector, quality optics & a quality SoC (A lower mid-range Qualcomm Snapdragon 410, which also happen to grace The Samsung Galaxy J5 (2016) which BTW cost a whooping 26 Grands)...

If you're going to get a Q; get a re-branded Gionee with Amigo UI...
And Infinix...?
Please, don't get a bloody Infinix... They just don't worth it, for the most part...!

Ur opinion about Xiaomi is not correct
They r not just manufacturing Mobile but a lot more and in Mobile field they r improving Alto
My Xiaomi died (only ghost touches rest everything is still working fine) and unless I m sure what was the reason I would say it was an excellent Mobile with outstanding OS
I bought Nexus 5x after that but still missing Xiaomi and have already ordered it's new screen

Qmobile Noir J5 TVC song (Still falling for you - iEllie Goulding)

https://youtu.be/pvP_OwVSFpk

The funniest thing is that in comments section, i read a lot of QMobile ad comments, that mentioned that they came to this song after seeing the QMobile ad.

Their Noir Z9 had iEllie Goulding's super hit song too, love me like you do, touch me like you do!. (Astaghfirullah)

QMobile ads are pathetic though!

V10 is a very solid phone but market is flooded with carrier logo ones, until and unless u find an international varient, dnt buy one. One plus2 has less repairs in the market, if anything goes wrong u might end up losing everything. G4 is a solid phone but buy only 6 series phone not before as they hav issues. I think u hav used Note 4 right? Its an old phone now so leave it. Droid turbo 2, a great phone but u might get a carrier logo one with unknown history plus as the things u change in daily life, it will hav a very bad resale lol

So I recently bought an iPhone 7 128gb. Coming from an Sony Xperia Z3, here's my mini-review:

It is a revelation. The OS is fluid - no hiccups, unlike Android, the apps are SO MUCH MORE polished.

3D touch is quite useful, the raise-to-wake feature makes me miss my Z3's "double-tap-to-wake" a lot less, the Camera is LIGHT YEARS ahead of the shitty Z3.

The phone is much more quicker (obviously) than the Z3, but it also doesn't heat-up and throttle as it did on my Z3.

The taptic-engine is amazing - seriously. It makes pressing the non-physical home button seem like you're pressing the bottom of the phone's screen down. The vibration on music/ringtones is very tight and precise, and it vibrates on each beat according to the intensity - hard to explain in words.

The stereo speakers are a welcome addition - and the phone is LOUD.

One annoying thing was that Google maps wasn't available in the Pakistani app store - but creating a new apple id for the app store on iTunes for the US store fixed that issue.

And to those hating on requiring iTunes to transferring files to the iPhone - I wish android had that feature and it worked as seamlessly. With iTunes wifi sync, all I need to do is open iTunes, drag and drop music to the program, and it's on my phone. No need to fiddle with wires! I don't think any Android phone has such seamless integration - my Z3 had it till lollipop and it was a pain in the *** to get it to work properly. Marshmellow removed the feature.

Don i am using G4 602 series for almost 7 months now and pretty much satisfied seriously its an awsome phone. Bought it pin pack and it serves its purpose prettty well. G4 610 series brand new still sells for 35-36k dual sim version. V10 is an awsome phone but stay on the international version not carrier logo ones. @s15 mind helping him out. Btw dont u try huawei for a change? It has a huge range. Will pm u in a while

Why would i pay when there are some ways to get them free?

1. Because it's the right thing to do.
2. Developers need to eat.
3. Devs also need to continuously improve their software - which is funded by your support.
4. Apps aren't that expensive - Pakistani debit cards are accepted (and now in PKR).
