Qmobile Noir A500 is the cheapest Quad Core Phone available in Pakistan right now. The price of Qmobile Noir A500 is Rs.16,000. The phone seems to be an excellent value for money but there is one major setback, that is it only has 512 mb RAM, which seems pretty low for a quad core phone and in current times when apps and games are more and more power hungry.
We highly doubt that noir A500 will be able to play high graphical games. However its benchmarks tell a completely different story. Qmobile Noir A500 antutu score was 13400 , which is even more then the phone with 1 GB ram and same processor.
How is that possible ? One reason is that its low screen resolution. Other phones having HD of full HD phones require more processor power to render the screen and hence the benchmark results are also effected . Noir A500 having low res. screen gives more to benchmarking apps. We will confirm this when we do the games review.
Apart from its low RAM , the phone is performing pretty well. I believe it will be more then enough for normal social apps , chatting and phone apps.
This is the first part of the video review of Qmobile Noir A500. We will follow up with a more detailed games and media review.

Salam Brother,
Just want to know which one would you buy b/w A12 or A500?
Can anyone tell, what is the screen dpi?
240 DPI
I have Q A500. Jab meen koi call milata hoo to phone ki screen yani display sleep mode pe chala jata h. Na me call end krsakta hoo na kuch r bcz dikhai hi kuch ni deta. Any one help me to resolve this problem here.
well it seems something is blocking its light sensor, could be a screen protector issue try removing its screen protector if you have one. otherwise you can go to settings then accessibility and select power button ends call, it should atleast allow you to end the call.
Thank You Faisal Jaswal
The Screen protector was already stuck on the screen by the company. I don’t know the exact position of the light sensor. For immediate solution your second suggestion is very effective. Once again thanks for your expert advice.
Usman Bhai, i saw your reviews regarding A500 and it was my first experience to visit your forum.
I want information if i use at a single time FB,Skype,Twitter and browsing simultaneously would it affects to RAM or will it hang ?
What you will suggest should i go for A900 or A500 i have multiple apps use but not games..
Waiting for your kind information.
Regards

Assalam-o-alaikum i am stuck on choosing between two android phones huawei g510 and qmobile a500. could u please help me out that which phone is better overall with your expert advice… thankyou
Wa Alaikum Salaam, processing power wise the A500 is better, can play hd videos as well.
but sir i am a little bit worried about the build quality and the phone durability… so acording to u which one is better in that case??? and also which one supports otg cable ?? thankyou for your great answer sir
sir i want to buy this sset please anaaswer me
What answer are you looking for?
but sir i am a little bit worried about the build quality and the phone durability… so acording to u which one is better in that case??? and also which one supports otg cable ??
A600 is the only phone in the qmobile line up that supports OTG.
and does huawei g510 supports otg ? and i am a little bit worried about the build quality and durability…. so acording to u which one is better in that case ??
nopes, build quality is alright, A500 is a quad core
Faisal Jaswal bhai kyia aap mujhe bata sakte hen k my range is 22000 or me is range me kon sa set loon iphone4 or glaxy s2 ya qmobile ka koi model lay loon plz tell me m confuse..
Well it’s your choice but Iphone 4 is a different OS people who are comfortable with IOS don’t usually go for other OS such as android or windows, as far as S2 and qmobiles you have to decide what you want in a phone? performance, camera, audio, brand?
Bro How much % i vl have more Battery Time if Using 1 Sim on NOIR A500..???
I dont have much idea but I dont think it would make much of a difference.
i am using Q mobile Noir A500 but there is problem with this phone, when ever i make a call with this phone the screen locks and unable to end the call. Usman Bhai can tell me how to end call.
what do you mean by locks? does the screen go black? I can give you a possible solution but I am not sure if it will work, go to settings and then to accessibility and select the power button ends call. Now you should be able to end the call after pressing power button, regardless of screen lock (hopefullY)
i have the same issue but i wana ask if we need to use dial pad during call thn how wud we use it there r no settings fr this purpose…. reply soon

I am using Q A500 from a month . I think its a best mobile in this rate . have no problem. Only it has no notification light. But there is something near the speaker…. What is this … Other side the camera.
Its the “proximity sensor” . it is used to turn off the screen when you attach phone to your face for calling.
Must be a light or proximity sensor

from mobogeine
Sir ! i was going to purchase noir a500 but i got my eye on samsung galaxy star pro http://www.samsung.com/pk/consumer/mobile-devices/mobile-phones/smartphones/GT-S7262ZWAPAK its price is 12,500 actually i have itrest in gaming alot but my range is less then 15,000 so am not purchasing 1gb ram phone, samsung also have 512 ram like a500, am a bit confiuse is that is samsung galaxy is same in gaming like a500, is they are gaming wise alike? then i am purchasing samsung because camera result doesn’t matter to me any thing, kindly suggest me, waiting for replay

sir m having problem, i cant hear voice of caller.. but when i use handfree or set it on speaker mode then i can hear. what should i do?? plx help
well I believe there is something wrong with the headset speaker, to rule out the possibility of any software related issue you can do a factory reset and check it, otherwise take it to a Qmobile sales n service center.
OK sir I’ll do.. Thnks for ur reply
PLZ KOI BTAYE A500 ACHA SET HA ISMY KOI FALT TO NI HA??

Dear Faisal bhai. Please tell me how to update my A500 jelly bean software 4.2.2 or above
faisal bhai plz mujhe batain k qmobile a500 hang hota hy kkia and kia application bhe crash kr deta hy ?
A500 has a quadcore processor with 512MB ram, it is not the best combination and not recommended for gaming and heavy applications, otherwise a device getting hung, or application crash usually has to do with software or app faults rather than a hardware defect, if you do a factory reset it solves most problems
how to do 4.4kitkat upgrade in a500??
take it to their sales n service center is the recommended way, as they dont have OTA
Assalam Alaikum,

Thanks a lot!
Wa Alaikum Salaam, well have you done a factory reset? Try a factory reset, if after the reset it doesn’t work then it is best to take it to a Qmobile Sales and service center.
