Summary
- The Asus Zenfone C ZC451CG features a slightly bulkier build with a glass front and plastic back, while the QMobile Noir A550 has a slimmer profile but lacks detailed material specifications.
- Both devices have a 4.5-inch IPS LCD display, but the QMobile offers a higher resolution of 540 x 960 pixels, resulting in better pixel density.
- In terms of performance, the Zenfone is powered by a dual-core Intel Atom processor, whereas the Noir utilizes a quad-core Mediatek chipset, providing better multitasking capabilities.
