After a huge success of the Qmobile Noir A900 , Qmobile came up with an ultra slim device of its own, though it is not worlds slimmest but still quite alot that one would wish for. The Z3 when launched was overpriced at PKR 29,500 but three thousand decrease in the retail price made it an option for many people. We are going to have a look at the device, whether its internals are capable to perform or not.
Z3 is slim at (6.95mm) and beauty is unmatched in any of the previous devices i could say its an upgraded version for the A900 to the design aspect, If dual sim is not your bigger concern and you need all the way performing device adding 4k bugs, Z3 is a nice option. It has wireless display and Daydream also the wireless input device and the builtin swype feature as well but you have to be aware of is no support for an Sd card and single sim, no notification LED (it is disliked by some but it is very useful once you get used to it).

Cost of the Phone
The one of the few things we pakistani's are always intreasted in is a bargain.IF i had to mention it i would say i tottaly love the price and the device i used it for a month and can say that the performance did nt change even though its one of those cheap sets you can get in the market and the high end specs are just amazing a 1GB Ram and 8MP camera with a front 5MP camera and a Super Amoled Display (a expensive display) and DTS surround sound were used in this phone so i say the price is pretty good for a phone such as this even though the specs are of a high end device the processor should have been used of a bit higher quality , one other thing that could have been added was premium accesories such as a boom handfree or a flip cover with it but other then that i say its worth buying and one of the best in its range.
Design
Its Slim,nothing better then these words could explain it 6.95 mm this is second to huwaie's accend P6 the worlds slimmest and i put it in a category of one of the worlds slimmest phone,the back has a matte finish which keeps a nice little grip the left side consists of the power and volume buttons while on the right side we have a micro sim slot and a micro usb slot while on the top we have a 3.5mm Audio jack, on the front we have a huge 4.8 inch screen and on top the Front 5MP camera and the speaker while on the bottom there are three invisible back light capactive buttons (home,back,options).
Memory and CPU
Well in the Qmobiles Noir Quatro Z3 we have a 1.5Ghz Quadcore processor (MTK-6589 T) and it consists of 1GB of Ram , with powervr544 GPU which is a pretty good one considering its price and quality.The built in memory is big enough 16GB and user available is 11.39 GB the drawback in memory is that is does not have support for SD card.
Display
The Qmobile Noir Quatro Z3 has a 4.8 Inch Super Amoled HD 720*1080P Display (320DPI) and (306PPI) , We have a nice Super Amoled HD display with the Z3 and the brightness and and quality of this display is good for extensive use with lower need of battery the display is more torwards the warmth just like most HTC devices are, The reolution is a HD 720P ,ofcourse being a Super Amoled Display the viewing angles are very good you might not be able to see true colors if you go beyond 170 degrees which in my opinion is GREAT.
Software
The Z3 runs on Android Jelly Bean version 4.2.1 , there have been some big changes to the Android stock UI but these "themes" are replaceable which means you can turn it back to Android\s stock rom or if you want to use something different.There has nt been any MAJOR changes though we have the same launcher and the Action screen.
Synthetic Benchmark Scores
Quadrant Standard shows a wooping 4890 score
And the Nena Mark 2 Shows its a great Gaming Device as well can run heavy games without lag
Camera
The Z3 is Equipped with a 8 MP back camera with BSI sensor capable of making 1080p HD video and a 5 MP front cam which records 720 P HD videos ,BSI sensor ( BSI sensors are the future of Digital photography) Both the back and the front camera were extremely satisfying in both low lights and sun light .The back Camera is a popup from the device and is surrounded by a metal ring or a metal colored plastic ring which has a Mobile Light just under it , It can produce Great details in images in low lights and even better in sun light , we assure you that its camera is one thing you will be satisfied with.It produces images a bit more to the warmth and with great detail by clicking the button you can continously shoot 40 to 99 images this is one great feature it helps alot in many occasions where rapid photos are necassary.
The video Quality is great but i havnt compared it to anything else yet.will soon make a review on that put it on here.
Here are some sample Images right from the Device in original format
Connectivity
The Device is equipped with Bluetooth 4.0 with A2DP,Built in GPS module and assisted GPS with geo tagging,Single micro Sim GSM/WCDMA support,Wifi direct,Wlan 802.11a/b/g/n ;Wifi Hotspot.
Battery
Well i am not very much impressed by the battery but its just OK not too good , not too bad it works like any android with quad core processor and super amoled display phone does. 2020 mAh of battery is just not enough when you are browsing the internet and are playing heavy games . but yet it does give a full 30 hrs with normal use of battery and wifi turned on all the time.
Few Words (from user)
The Z3 is an all rounder and gives me everything i need , for me the Z3 is a perfect device in all aspects the camera the screen ,and everything is just perfect according to ones needs,the 5mp front camera is pretty much better then many low end devices rear camera which is a major pro, not to mention the rear camera is also perfect the ram 1GB and bult in storage 16GB is according to what i need and is enough for me so i dont need any other phones or need to compare it to other devices cause i know this one is the best according to the price given and the quality as well as the look.
Final Verdict
To suggest if this phone is for you then here are some things you will find very good in this device , if you want a good camera with a nice screen and a high end gaming device with a powerful GPU and it should be quadcore and a android 4.0 + software running with a very sleek and slim design then this phone is actually just made for you , you will find this amazingly awesome and a irreplaceable smart phone
