FOR TECHNICAL DETAILS CHECK – A8 Technical Information POST

FOR VIDEO : Check – Video Review  Qmobile Noir A8 POST

I think first question everyone wants to know is the price Rs:  14,500/-  

Reviewing Phone:  UPDATES 9th , Oct , 2012 .

Very slim and better than I expected, many people asked me about internal storage first thing well, it shows 1 GB internal storage can be used for apps, overall it has 1.96 GB which means 2 GB on the back end, OS is 4.0.4 , Yet I am reviewing myself hopefully with in a day or two upload the video for you and will give a demo. 

This Phone launched on 5th Oct, 2012 but officially will be launched on 10th Oct, 2012 yet I haven’t reviewed it personally so I won’t be able to comment more about it, I am expecting Internal storage as I have mentioned 4 GB hoping that it depends on SD Micro card, where as personally the user of 16 GB in Noir A5 I had to format the card twice till now, I will not suggests users to insert 16GB card because there is some issue which wipe off the data and tells you to format the card. 8 GB would be the right choice, well GPS Yes unlike A2 but more likely as A5. 4.3 Screen Size is huge so Battery timing must be less until and unless battery itself is not bigger and better.

I had the information of A8 from Qmobile person from the market whom i will surely contact check the phone and than i will be adding up information and will be able to inform you all about it more easily, for now it came 4 months late and behind it other models are awaiting to launch too, like A10 and others, now this is where Qmobile or any brand plays a little tricky for users, Indeed it is 4.0 Ice Cream fully able to support Skype calling and Html5 , flash, from the basic specification it won’t be wrong, Qmobile is competing with S II galaxy and Nexus. ( Benchmark tested ) See Technical Infomation -TEST –

Kindly when you write a comment , mention your city as well so i can understand where exactly query is from and many users asked me about internet issues,in which i was not able to understand where they are facing this issue, if you are Wifi user kindly mention your network ISP too ( Speed etc ) , I am sure this phone will wipe my objections with Qmobile. I am repeating again I am not a Qmobile representative so my information is based on my personal usage and understanding.

Any of you has used or reviewed the phone share you experience with all via comments, if you want me  to post it on the blog comment and write Post , if it would be appropriate for the users I’ll post it with in no time. Share your experience and knowledge as well. I think I been doing all possible for me to answer each and every single comment query email , tweets, and on the Facebook page ( Sharing is Caring ) join my page and it would be easier to interact and share.

    1. 512 RAM at this moment I am reviewing myself, internal memory is 1 GB usable. where as phone is showing 1.9 GB which makes 2. but at this moment confirm 1 GB internal storage.

      Reply

      1. Hi Farees. What does this means ” It is upgradable”. I am using A8 and there is no option of system upgrade in settings. can you plz tell me what they exactly want to say?

      2. Yet I cannot confirm you but surely this phone is upgradable it has vast range of options after rooting wait for my next post I’ll mention

  6. Hello Brother, Thanks for your reply. and thanks for uploading the details of Noir A8 here and specially it’s price.
    Please upload a video review of it soon and let us know the link of that.
    also please tell me that does this cell have a GPU?

    i am so excited to buy it asap.

    thanks.

    Reply

    1. Sure I will, tomorrow yet I am reviewing it myself and so far it’s a great phone way better than previous Qmobile series , upcoming one is A10 which is gonna be some what like S3 …

      Reply

      1. Thanks alot for your reply.
        and it seems really excited. but please brother, when you review the handset also mention about it’s GPU, Camera Image quality ( better than A5 or same) and about Battery timing. ( the battery timing is really much low in A5 and as A8 has more bigger screen. are there any battery improvements)
        Awaiting for a video review soon and to watch A8 in action.
        Also thanks for sharing about A10. do you know the expected date of it’s launch or any features of this handset.
        Thanks and stay blessed.

      2. Dear Sumair,

        1. Camera I haven’t tested yet but normally it looks better than A5.
        2. Battery Timing … well it’s amazing I been using it constantly for 6 hrs on Wifi way better than A5 or any other
        3. GPU ? I didn’t get explain me a bit surely in a video review ill add

        that’s not just A10 which is more like S3 but A6 is on its way too.

      3. Salam Farees,

        Thanks for your reply.
        I am so happy about the battery that is so awesome. ( now i will soon buy it as soon it come to my city Sialkot)
        in S3 it is 2100 mAh so for a handset within this price range it is really good.

        For A5 it’s camera quality is really bad in low light condtions, compared to my Asha 300 which has a 5mp camera without flash but it’s pictures quality is really much better.

        Well, a GPU is:

        The GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) is a specialized circuit designed to accelerate the image output in a frame buffer intended for output to a display.

        Modern smartphones are equipped with advanced embedded chipsets that can do many different tasks depending on their programming. GPUs are an essential part of those chipsets and as mobile games are pushing the boundaries of their capabilities, the GPU performance is becoming increasingly important.

        well it’s like a graphics adaptor. like there is in our PC and is for playing graphic intense games.

        in A5 there is no dedicated GPU so we cannot play games which require hardware acceleration to show high quality graphics.

        in modern cell phones: brands like HTC, Sony, Samsung and others which work on Android based OS or Windows based do have dedicated graphics card known as GPU.

        a cell phone which has a dedicated GPU can show higher frame rates like being able to play HD videos and games.

        http://howto.cnet.com/8301-11310_39-20089871-285/5-apps-for-benchmarking-your-android-device/

        you can bench mark the A8 from any of the bench marking App’s mentioned in this link. Neocore will be a good tool to measure it’s frame rate and AnTuTu as well to see that where it stands between the HTC, Samsung, Nexus, Sony and others.

        Please upload a screenshot of these two bench mark applications.

        Waiting for a video review.

        Thanks a lot for your reply once again and stay blessed.

      5. Also, would like to tell that i have used the Sygic application. from the cracked version you have shared and works really good. i do receive full GPS signals.

        Works totally without data connection.

      7. Salam Farees,

        THanks for uploading the Bench mark results with snapshots of Noir a8.

        I would like to give you some suggestions as well. can you give me your email address so i can email you there.
        I think it can help you to make your reviews more better and people will really like it.

        Thanks once again.
        Stay blessed and stay happy

    3. QMobile Noir A8 has 4.3 inches screen with screen resolution of 480 x 800 pixels. To calculate ppi Pixel density of screen, take square of 480 and 800 then add both and take square root of the result. Now divide it with 4.3 which is screen size. So the exact ppi pixel density is 217 (same as Samsung Galaxy S2).

    I have HTC gene 100.I want to by new Qmobile plzzzz guide me which one is best for me???? A2 or A8????

  21. Asslam-o-Alaikom! Yesterday I visited the Sadar Mobile Market in Karachi and inquired about the price of Noir A8; yup! the answer was RS. 14,500 only. But for what I am still confused is its ROM. I inquired about its ROM (Internal Memory you can say) and I get two different statements. 2 Retailer said that it has 4 GB of ROM and one said 2 GB.
    What I don’t like about Q-Mobile is that they didn’t give the full specification of their product in their website i.e ROM and RAM. These should be mentioned too but I don’t know why Q-Mobile is opting to hide it from its customers?

    In my opinion It should be 4 GB as ICS (Android 4.0) OS used/occupied 1.5 GB of ROM (Internal Memory you can say) and in that case 2.5 GB would be available for user end!

    I was sure about my opinion before I gone through your post. If anyone has correct information please do let me know.

    One more thing if you are considering to buy NOIR A8 then be sure you are no interested to use 3G Mobile Internet which is more likely coming shortly to Pakistan. As an alternate of Noir A8 you can consider buying G-Five G-95 Bravo which has the same specifications like A8 but differs only in processor (single core) and has a bigger screen and last but the most important has 3G Ready! so be wiser and decide yourself!

    Reply

      1. “1 GB for Apps and 1 GB for media storage” WHY?
        Still Confused! 1 GB + 1.9 GB = 2.9 – 4 GB = 1.1 GB which is quite low capacity for ICS 4.0. I heard first time that there is:
        If you have internal memory of 2.9 GB then it can be used for whatever you like i.e apps games and media at the same time. Isn’t it??

      2. No up till now as have explored its the way I told u, its not qmobile but huawei has same it saves in way data to be erased if apps up n down

      3. One more Query please as you have this phone; can you please tell me that it supports adobe flash?? if yes, is it pre-installed? if no, are you able to install it from Play Store?
        Thanks for Your Kind Support!

    1. I am doing great…
      you can download google chrome and firefox, but i am using secure browser which comes built in , it works as chrome, I am uploading Review part one check it in 15 to 20 mins it will be here on the blog and beside it check the Technical specification POST .

        Whats internal memory

      2. Dear Bilal,

        Internal Memory is the space allocated for downloading apps ( Softwares like firefox ) A2 has 92 MB space which is very low when you have millions of Apps .

        Firefox has some issue if you read on google play store people are complaint about the same slow loading issue,

        I didn’t get Chrome not Sport Device !

        Set is getting hot , kindly switch it off and take out the batter for 5 mins than power on it.

  38. dear farees,

    Your review has got me excited and confused. i had planned to buy Noir A8 today but reading about noir A10 has got me confused

    should i wait for a-10or should i go for it with a-8.

    I have used Noir a 8 it is amazing,,, but need some infor on A10 as to any tentative date or even a month of its launch and price range will be helpful

    Reply

    1. Noir A10 is gonna be Dual Core Processor somewhat a copy of S-III , but the Price Tag is going to be above 20,000 PKR .
      It’s expected to launch next month November ( that’s what I was told by Qmobile Sales person in Sadar , Karachi ) where I got A8,
      I am not interested in A10 because it’s Costly and I think what I need A8 does it well, infact yet I have to explore how to ROOT and upgrade it
      because it’s possible in 4.0.4 Ice Cream Sandwich platform , where as it wasn’t in previous 2.3 Ginger Bread Noir Series.
      Rest it’s your Choice wait for it or go for A8.

      6. hmmm…ok…actually the same reason i have heard from the sales person regarding its touch….its of not that quality…btw thanks for helping me out…

    1. I would suggest you to stick to ICS OS , until JB finalized because there is no official word from Q fellas , you can ask them on their FB page and for updates join me on Sharing is Caring ( DO NOT UPDATE ) Rooted can be useful for many purposes beside upgrading. Google up and you will know.

    1. What is “firmware”?
      Firmware refers to the applications and operating system that control how a cellphone or smartphone operates. It is called firmware rather than software to highlight that it is very closely tied to the particular hardware components of a device. Firmware is generally flashed into a phone’s ROM rather than simply being loaded into normal phone storage, where it could more easily be erased and lost in the event of a crash. Firmware updates are sometimes provided by a company as a way to fix bugs or introduce new functionality.

  76. Hello, I am Samsung Galaxy S and Sony Xperia S 12MP User.
    Now, I am going to buy a cheap mobile because big mobile cost me a lot.
    I have few information about Android , On Increasing memory.
    If you Add 8GB Card in Any Android Phone So You Can Divide 8Gb into 4Gb and 4Gb.4Gb will be available and other 4Gb will be added to Mobile Internal Memory , For A8 , 1+4 = 5GB !
    This method depends on processor speed, Galaxy Mini With 600mhz has 180Mb but can be upgraded to 1gb without any lags.
    So According to my Calculations , A8 Has Dual Core 1GHZ = 2GHZ 1 Core Power.
    32 GB card Can Be added and upto 26GB Space can be give to phone.
    Also, I am a developer on xda. A8 Can be overclocked to 1.3Ghz Dual core , Thats more power consuming but method for those who want to do real multitasking!
    Few Points I want to know About A8.
    1) Multitouch.
    Install Multitouch App From Google play and test and share.
    2) How solid is this phone?
    Galaxy S is very solid, 15000 is still much amount, If phone is dropped so?
    Or Pressure is applied ? or maybe inside your pocket ?
    Dont Drop your phone and tell me hahaha…..Just tell how solid it feels?
    You can sense from hand how solid it is, Its Finishing etc…
    —–> BENCHMARKS
    If i buy that mobile so i will make a Kernel for A8.
    I am Sure after applying that kernel , users will get benchmarks upto 3500 Minimum.
    ANy Info Requird so Contact me On Fb, I want to develop few things for this phone.

  83. Assalamualikum brother….yar this phone is still short in the market…i have searched almost everywhere but i failed…dont know when this phone will come…and those who are selling are selling at higher price….can u get me this phone from sadar if u have any link in q mobile or from anywhere u know?? if yes plz tell…jazakAllah…

    Reply

      1. today i was told by a sales man that a8 price would be same i.e 14500 and the other one told 15200…and it will be available in two to three days….so iam now confused that should i wait for A8 or go for a6?? wat to do??

      2. Bro , A6 launched today, even their website is not updated, but let me update you , check my new post on the blog Noir A6 launched . its same as A8 in all specification only difference is Shape maybe Screen size too . not sure because their site is not updated nor anyone on the web knows . PRICE 12,500/-

      3. yes it is launched but its price is 11500….q sales man told me…but its not upgradable…..and its 1 ghz processor but a8 is dual core….this is a big difference…

      5. sir iam not sure whether its upgradable or not….but according to price tag, it should not be upgradable….and i have read its info on a6 box…i didnt find anywhere written its upgradable….plz confirm of urself and let me know….thanks..

      7. i must say in look, a6 is awesome….but the main thing is processor….one is dual core..other is 1 ghz…wats ur opinion bro?? should i wait for a8 or go for a6?? when a8 will be available in market and wat will be its price?? any hint abt that??

      8. next week A8 will be in Market but I would suggest you as a brother not to buy because its going to be 16k or above, A6 has Single core processor doesn’t make much difference honestly It’s slight expensive than A2 and way better than It, competing A8 , Buy A6 use it for few month hardly loss would be 2000/- you can always buy better one later by than GFive comes in market or other companies u never know A8 will be on its actual price after 2 months Jan 2013 Wait if you can ! but dont buy Expensively this company dont worth 16k

        Faree

      10. Its use to buy because after a month or so price will reduce and A6 is doing all whats the difference in 4 and 4.3 screen size , i know its single Core like A2 but even than its fast , it has internal storage , cam LED flash GPS i am not use . I think very reasonable in such price 11500/-

      12. Yes you can buy after few months better one who knows what’s coming ahead maybe good and in budget so I would suggest A6 now reasonable price

  84. today i was told by a sales man that a8 price would be same i.e 14500 and the other one told 15200…and it will be available in two to three days….so iam now confused that should i wait for A8 or go for a6?? wat to do??

      2. A10 has 3g support & and more memory as well but it has very large screen 5 inches. i dont like big mobiles, 4 inch screen is better for me. big phones is difficult to carry in the pocket and it is more visible and difficult to hide.

  92. I called today to qmobile lahore office they said it is confirmed that A8 will come tonight to lahore and will available in market tomorrow. I read all the comments and posts but one thing i guess is not answered. My query is that can we download apllications using a8 from google play ? and does google play shows ur mobile model and tells what is compatible and what is not ?

    Beside this Faree ur blog is really very helpful. Thanks 🙂

    1. Thanks Zohaib for appreciating my blog 🙂

      1. Google Playstore detects the phone, when you go via app it wont show u any phone detail A8 or anything but if you go via web browser than it will show you, yell I haven’t checked is it showing A8 or not but when I had A5 it was showing Noir A5. Apps which are not compatible it tells you on every android OS phone. not just Q.

  117. Samsung announces the 8-core(octa core) Exynos 5 Octa mobile chipset. It has 2 quad-core processors in one chipset. The chipset in particular will pack a quad-core ARM Cortex™-A15 CPU clocked at 1.8GHz and a quad-core ARM Cortex™-A7 CPU clocked at 1.2GHz, the first one to use ARM’s big.LITTLE technology. Samsung claims it’s the fastest and most energy-efficient mobile processor in the world, boasting a 70 percent increase in battery life. ARM big.LITTLE processing is designed to deliver the vision of the right processor for the right job. In current big.LITTLE system implementations a ‘big’ ARM Cortex™-A15 processor is paired with a ‘LITTLE’ Cortex™-A7 processor to create a system that can accomplish both high intensity and low intensity tasks in the most energy efficient manner.Samsung claims that the 3D gaming performance is twice that of anything available at the moment.The chip will be built on a 28nm process and pack 2MB of cache.
    We’re sure that there will be plenty of rumors that this will be the chipset in the Galaxy S IV, but it’s more likely to see it in a tablet first.

Dear Farees bhai, you told me that A8 can record 720p(HD) video @ 30fps but i am suspecting that it can only record 480p(vga) videos.How did you checked yor recorded videos ? did you just predicted the resolution by watching the quality of the video ? or you checked the details of the recorded videos.Did you see any option to change the resolution of the video in camera settings.
        I am asking this because i recently watched the sample of a video recorded from A8 which was 480p.

    1. NenaMark 2 is a type of benchmark that checks & calculate the ability of a GPU.NenaMark 2 checks & calculate the ability of GPU and gives the result in frames per second (FPS).
      Samsung Galaxy S III has 58 fps
      HTC one X shows 56 fps
      Sony Xperia sola shows 27 fps
      noir A10 shows 25 fps.
      NenaMark 2 comes preinstalled or you can download it from google play store.

      1. This post is pertaining to Q Mobile Noir A8. I am encountering two problems:
        1) while running apps a pop up always appears saying ‘LOW STORAGE SPACE – There is not enough storage space to complete this action. Please clear some space and try again’.
        But these apps are in my internal srorage which is only 254 mb used and 764 mb free. So there is already so much space!
        2) My sd card is full, so i want blazer to download directly in phone memory which is 1.84 gb free. How can i do that?
        I have written on sharing and caring as well and cant find any place on icpak to ask this?

  134. ii brought q mobile A8 2weeks ago ,I was vry much worried as this was fr the 1st tym I was buyng any china set,but I was impressed by the quality n oprtng sytm ,but suddenly the earphone from which we hear calls stop working some time ,now I am going to give that in the warranty but I wana ask this thng tht m I the only one facng this issue or there are other ppl facng this too ,n y this is soo,

    I face the problem of quick shutdown and hanging when playing games, videos and surfing on internet…. …..wats the problem with this bull shit ////// I restored my set several. Times ,but this doesn,t work at all… rather I lost my precious data and applications every time I try…..

    Also tell me the concept of rioting, is it applicable in A-8…

    1. Rooting isn’t the solution once factory reset phone should be working fine, you can back up contacts.data etc.. but apps dont because that is where problem presist . Factory reset !

  144. Got this phone few days back and loving it … about battery it lasts for around 5 hours of continous usage including internet, gaming, apps etc…if not used continously then lasts around 1 day … takes around 3 hrs to charge …

    All features like camera, video cam, GPS, wifi, gprs working smoothly …
    games like Temple Run 2 running smoothly …
    tested skype , had to install latest version from store for video calls
    viber has robotic voice issue but hopefully will get it fine some way …

    All in all a good deal for the low price range

    2. Hello

      Same results … As i tested on my A8 … Its smooth and works great on GO Launcher as well…

      I found two different NETWORK CONNECTION Details on Qmobile website for A8 … links are bellow please tell me what is the difference …

      http://qmobile.com.pk/portfolio/a8/

      And

      http://qmobile.com.pk/compare/

      Please Check Network in specification of A8 … and tell me what is WCDMA 900/2100 …… it is 3g network or 2g …. As i know Noir A8 is 2G phone …

      1. Some high end games may not work because of the low end GPU & less internal storage.

    1. W/Salam Allah ka Karam hai,

      A8 se skype call hojati hai per 2G net Edge net hai tu network kabhi sahi aur kahi nahin sahi chalta par mainay chala hai ufone aur mobilink net se.

      Viber aur skype agar problem karien tou phir yahoo messenger se aur tango se video calling sahi ho jati hai.

  160. Qmobile Noir touch is better than HTC, I have been using htc for 2 years but, Noir touch quality is better and its has been made according to pakistan people requirment so Noir is better than HTC. Noir has arabi and urdu language proper than htc with dual sim. everything is perfect. I will suggest people leave Htc and get Noir series from Noir A2 1giga.
