In a time where flagships are getting more expensive by the date and their high-end specifications seem to be out of reach for many, companies like OnePlus provide solutions at affordable prices and use the tagline ‘Flagship Killer’ for their phones. However, QMobile takes it a step further by going just a tad higher than half the price of OnePlus and deliver a flagship that is capable of handling the toughest of tasks. Meet the Noir Z10, QMobile’s flagship and the latest of their Noir Z Series.

Released late in 2015, the Noir Z10 is a great phone with the price tag of around Rs. 20,000. It has a very simple but elegant design and provides all sorts of features ranging from Dual SIM all the way to some of the best hardware. The phone supports 2G, 3G and LTE networks and has a Micro-SIM slot. It boasts a 5.2” IPS LCD Full HD (1080 x 1920 pixels) display that is crisp and delightful. The pixel density of 424 ppi makes the display look sharp even from distance. The screen is protected by Corning Gorilla Glass 3 protection.

It comes with Android Lollipop OS v5.1.1 out of the box, and will be upgradable to Marshmallow when it arrives as an OTA update. It has a powerful Mediatek MT6753V chipset with an Octa-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A53 processor and a Mali-T720MP3 graphics processing unit. It also has 3 Gigs of RAM that is certainly going to make the phone feel as smooth as the OS can be. It has 16 GB of internal storage and also has a microSD expansion slot that can take a card of up to 64 GB of memory.

The rear camera on this phone is a 13 megapixels sensor that has phase detection autofocus, capable of taking great shots out in the day. It can record videos at 1080p. The front camera is a really great one with 5 megapixels, capturing a lot of light and bringing more color to your selfies and video calling with 1080p video.

The battery, although non-removable, is a strong one at 2900 mAh of power that can certainly take you through the day and with Marshmallow coming soon, the Doze feature will make it last even longer.
