Summary
- The QMobile Noir V4 features a larger 5.7-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, while the Sony Xperia C3 has a slightly smaller 5.5-inch display with the same resolution but a higher pixel density of ~267 ppi.
- In terms of performance, both devices are equipped with quad-core processors, but the Xperia C3 uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon 400 chipset, which may offer better graphics performance with its Adreno 305 GPU compared to the PowerVR SGX544 in the Noir V4.
- The Noir V4 has a superior rear camera at 12 MP compared to the C3's 8 MP, although both can record 1080p video.
- Battery capacity is slightly higher in the Noir V4 at 2600 mAh versus 2500 mAh in the C3, but both lack fast charging and wireless capabilities.
- The Noir V4 runs on Android 4.2, while the Xperia C3 starts with Android 4.4.2 and is upgradable to 5.1, providing a potentially more refined software experience.
