Design & Display

QMobile Noir i7i PRO being a 5 inch phone is given the most stunning design. It comes with the dimensions of 144 x 72 x 8 mm with the 66.4 % approx. screen to body ratio. Whereas the device weighs around 151 grams which is a little heavy. It has resolution of 854 x 480 with a pixel density of 240 dpi. This means you have an average visibility of icons and texts.

Whereas if we talk about the design which is designed by an absolute mastermind.  We have of course an ear piece in the center and the front camera towards the left.  The front side is all covered with black layers on all four edges. Whereas the three function keys are there on the very bottom of the phone.

On the right edge, the device has a volume and power buttons whereas it does not have any button or connectivity option on the left edge. Since the device has a removable back so the Dual Sim and SD card port are all inside and there is not much traffic of buttons on the outer body of the phone.

The upper edge has an audio jack along with USB port. The overall look of the phone is quite attractive and since it is not much overcrowded on the exterior body, the phone look pretty neat and clean.

QMobile Noir i7i PRO has a plastic body overall but it looks more like metal which gives a very classy look when held in hands. Lastly, we will talk about the back side of the phone. The device has a removable back with a shiny metal looking back cover.

Additionally, the 5MP back camera is there on the top center of the phone whereas the LED flash light towards the left side. On a brighter side, the phones look is even enhanced with the camera portion being more prominent due to the black area on the top and bottom of the phone. Giving a great combination of black and gold.

In the center of the phone, the logo of QMobile is engraved and as we go further towards the bottom of the back side of the phone, we find ourselves with the super loud speakers.

Memory

Let’s now talk about the memory of i7i PRO that comes with an 8 GB ROM and a 1 GB RAM. This is somehow less than expected, as the RAM could have been at least 2 GB. However, the 8 GB ROM is quite acceptable, since the users can easily take as many pictures as they want and store a lot of data.

However, if you’re worried about the memory space been taken up, QMobile has got your back by giving you the option of expandable memory. So if you are a person who loves downloading videos or playing games you can take advantage from the expandable memory with the help of the SD card.

Back camera:

We have tried and tested the camera for i7i PRO and with all other great features. The 5 MP back camera is there that lets you capture your life event in just a click. Whereas, LED flash light is also there if you feel that the light is too dull. Turn on the LED flash light and let your pictures come out brighter and better.

The camera is however satisfactory, but it captures great pictures in low light. It can flexibly adjust itself to capture photos at night and produce stunning pictures.

Front Camera:

In order to help you capture amazing selfies, the front camera of QMobile i7i PRO comes with 2 MP result. You can take superb pictures in low as well as in high light. At the same time the camera gives you the option of further beautifying your pictures with the help of the beauty face feature.

The 2 MP front camera is relatively less, it could have been at least 5 MP. Therefore it produces satisfactory images and not up to the mark. You can take pictures or talk to your loved ones via front camera anytime anywhere.

Network/Connectivity:

QMobile i7i PRO is a 3G supportive device so you can enjoy a faster internet speed. It also has other connectivity options like GPS, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and USB. Wi-Fi works for b/g/n while the Bluetooth version is 4.0. It is a dual SIM supportive device and the place for both SIMs are separate from memory card. It also supports the memory card up to 32 GB.

Battery Performance:

This is the brightest point of QMobile noir i7i PRO. The device contains a 2100 mAh long lasting battery that can last for a really long time. You can play games, watch videos and use mobile data without worrying about the battery.

Interface:

QMobile i7i PRO has a 5 inch HD IPS Touchscreen and runs the latest android version 6.0 marshmallow. The colors have been managed in a great way since they are all bright and therefore icons are clearly visible. Brightness, at the same time can also be managed easily. You can access the brightness adjustment level bar when you swipe the screen down. Applications are managed in a sliding way. You have to slide downwards or upwards to access application of your choice.

Starting from the lock screen, no wallpapers are set by default but you can set one by going to the settings and choosing a wallpaper for the phone. The lock screen is opened when we swipe up the screen and we are directed towards the home screen. You have the option of keeping your phone safe by setting up a lock code or pattern.

Home screen is managed very decently as it is not jammed in because of extra icons. On the home screen, we have access to all social sites, settings, contacts, phone dial and messages etc. The home button in the middle leads us to all the other applications of the phone.

When swiped towards downward, we also get to see quick setting options. Where you can access Wi-Fi settings, flashlight, and turn on/off airplane mode, Bluetooth, mobile date settings, hotspot, and auto rotate option and a few more. Moreover, all your recent/ unchecked notifications are also there. However, on the very top, the settings option opens up more advanced setting.

Processor:

QMobile Noir i7i PRO has a 1.2 GHz Quad core processor and contains a chipset of MediaTek MT6580. This chipset is based on the architecture of ARM Cortex-A7.

Furthermore, it has a 32-bit type processor with 1 GB RAM. It might get a little hard to perform multitasking. While doing so, the phone might get stuck.
