Comparisons Featuring QMobile Noir A500
Short Review
- The QMobile Noir A500 features a compact design with dimensions of 136 x 67 x 9.6 mm and a lightweight build.
- Its 4.5-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 218 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks but lacks vibrancy.
- Performance is driven by a Mediatek MT6589M chipset and a quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU, supported by 4GB of RAM, providing decent multitasking capabilities for its time.
- The 5 MP rear camera captures basic images but lacks advanced features like optical image stabilization, while the front-facing camera is absent.
- The 1800 mAh battery provides limited longevity, and there is no fast or wireless charging support.
- Running on Android 4.2 (Jelly Bean), the software experience is dated, lacking modern features and updates.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device includes a microUSB 2.0 port and a 3.5mm headphone jack, catering to basic connectivity needs.
- Overall, the QMobile Noir A500 serves as a simple, functional device without any standout features.
- Its specifications reflect the entry-level market segment from its 2013 release.
