Qmobile Quadcore's increased number faulty handsets compare to their Dual cores
Qmobile has made its name quite popular in Pakistani mobile phone market, and it is simply now taken as a brand for low budget peoples, But as we all know Qmobile get all these handsets from chinese OEM's and get them rebranded with their logo. and few software tweeks, atleast managing their name inside the device is major need and tweeks they do.
As we reported Gfive was the first one to introduce a Quadcore in pakistan at a cheaper priced mediatek SOC, Qmobile nicely followed as per the time frame is concerned. As their was already hype being created for last 4 months, of Quadcore devices from Qmobile, most of Qmobile lovers or experienced with Qmobile did nt go for the option of Gfive G9.
When Noir A20 arrived in the hands of people it started having issues out of which most common are the faulty SD card. The phone detects SD card as a currupt one or makes it currupt and you will face this problem to every SD card you insert. Qmobile Noir A20 has option of direct saving to external SD card and if it is not playing any application or all the applications on SD card or SD card detects no app i.e empty after rebooting your device. Then Your device is faulty and you should proceed to Qmobile Service center. Remember if this is the problem and you have checked at least 2 SD card facing same problem, then their is no software problem that your device has, and its just a hardware issue. In this situation, you must insist service center to replace your device with a new one.
One thing to mention here is Gfive G9 was not purchased in high numbers as Qmobile Noir A20 due to its availability and lesser known brand name, but even then their is no single data point we got to be faulty unit and all Gfive G9 are working fine. Beside this Qmobile Noir A20 has troubled its customer's alot. It definitely will disturb the reputaion of Qmobile in the market. But this is what happens when you are not an OEM yourself and rebranding other OEM's handset with your name. The OEM's do not work for you as they do for themselves and result is high concentration of faulty units as we have seen now. We would suggest our readers to hold for a moment and do not buy any of Quadcores until Qmobile get this problem negotiated with the OEM's factory its getting rebranded with its name.
Other info that we shared in our last aritcle full review of Noir A20 is that its price is kept high at PKR 19,000. Which is atleast PKR 2,000 high compare to the price is being taken in other countries of world where this handset is available with a different branding but the same OEM's factory. Stay tuned for the latest update, and any news as it comes from Qmobile after the issue being negotiated and fixed with the OEM providing these handsets.

SIR I HAVE PURCHASED 2 QMOBILE HANDSETS ONE WAS E786 AND THE OTHER WAS Q8 AND BOTH HANDSETS PROVED TO BE FAULTY WHEN I BOUGHT E786 AFTER TWO HOURS IT CORRUPTED THE SD CARD THEN AFTER I INSERTED ANOTHER ONE IT CORRUPTED IT TOO SO THEN I IMMEDIATELY WENT TO THE SHOP AND I QUOTE"BHAI YE CHINA KA SET HAI ISKI KOI REPLACEMENT WARANTY NAHI HAI",SO I WENT TO ANOTHER SHOP AND SOLD IT FOR 1000 PKR LOSS
ReplyDeleteTHEN WHEN I BOUGHT Q8 IT GOT STUCK IN HEADSET MODE AFTER TWO MONTHS AND THE TOUCH SENSOR STARTED MALFUNCTIONING I WENT TO QMOBILE CENTRE THEY KEPT IT FOR TWO WEEKS AND THEN GAVE ME BACK THE HANDSET STILL THE TOUCH SENSOR WAS MALFUNCTIONING SO I SOLD IT TO THE SHOP NEXT TO QMOBILE CENTRE IN SADDAR KARACHI. AT A LOSS OF 2500 PKR,SO IN ONE YEAR TWO QMOBILE HANDSETS COST ME A LOSS OF 3500 PKR WHICH WAS VERY HARD EARNED.I THINK QMOBILE SHOULD MANUFACTURE HANDSETS OF GOOD QUALITY AS NOKIA.I HAVE LEARNED MY LESSON NOT TO TRUST ANY PAKISTANI MOBILE COMAPNY.
Arsalan sorry to hear for two times loss from Qmobile handsets, the actual reason is Qmobile people do not know as well what quality level of any particular handset is, as feature phones are not too much discussed and reviewed, neither every one consult or like to see reviews we or any other does nt review these handsets, in our experience we have seen Qmobile X5, and E440, both got problems, got visit of service center , just because of that we never again believe to buy any cheaper phone from Qmobile, even Samsung is not reliable for feature phones, go fo Nokia, ZTE if you able to find any, we have experience of using two ZTE handsets provided by Zong and they are still working after 2 years have passed, one model is R221, and we bought 10 handsets, out of which 1 got signal problem, others working very fine with high battery timing, even more then Nokia, other model named R231 is also a fantastic phone, now these models might not be available , but it left us to believe ZTE feature phones are gud quality
