I was searching around on Net & Came Across this review of Qmobile NoirA7 which is actually re branded Fly IQ440 Energie by a Russian Manufacturer, Exactly like Qmobile NoirA10 which is actually Mcromax A110 Canvas 2 Qmobile doesn't manufacturer most of those Noirs but select them from less known manufacturers. No doubt QMobile is another ‘re-branding brand’. All the phones listed here are similar to the handsets being sold by QMobile. Check out the given link. -> Smartphones Most of the regular users aren't aware of this, You May Call it a Rip Off! But No doubt they have captured startup Smartphone market in Pakistan. This review is not written by me, Translated from Russian to English using Google Translator so everyone can understand & decide if its worth buying or not, In my opponion its great alternative of Google Nexus S which are available used in almost same price, Of course screen quality of Nexus S is better which is Super Amolded. Qmobile Noir A7 is Great for Starters which doesn't want to spend thousands on buying Flagships Branded Droids, but just want to experience Android. Qmobile Noir A7 Price: PKR 10600/- according to official Qmobile Website,

Introduction
Fly Company has released another smartphone on the Android operating system version 4.0. Over the past few months, she introduced almost a dozen little different from each other's phones. However, if before all the "clones" were based on feeble chipsets were unpretentious small screen with small diagonals, but now the situation has changed drastically. The company, buying pretty powerful Chinese (I think it's time to take it is not a household word) devices with great displays, high-quality cases and the like, pulled ahead and now, in fact, has a minimum number of competitors in the price range up to 10,000 rubles. As I said in a previous review, the major players better not show up here, as they are not trivial to offer anything better for the money. When a press release Fly IQ440, I was utterly taken aback by the fact that the device is equipped with a high capacity battery of 2500 mAh, and only costs 7,000 rubles, provided that the price of the IQ441 with less capacious battery - about 8500 rubles. In fact, Fly made the right marketing approach: they are slightly reduced screen size in Energie and cleaned autofocus module. In this could produce two different models, even though the "iron" is the same. The review will be small, as Fly IQ440 Energie is virtually identical to Fly IQ441 Radiance.

Design, size, controls
Skin and Fly IQ440 is the usual black rectangle with sloping edges. The left and right faces are rounded to the rear side. The thin bezel, exciting part of the front panel, the upper and lower ends are made of glossy plastic. Edging forms a small ledge on the front of the device so that if you put the phone face down, the display will be less exposed to abrasion and scratches. Back - "soft touch" plastic, embossed cover has a diamond shape. Compiled Energie well: there is no creaking and play two halves. However, if hard to squeeze the phone in his hand, he may be slightly crackled, and the back side is a bit of flex to the battery. The screen is protected by glass, it is quickly covered with fingerprints and forms a light touch. Erased spots relatively easily. Exactly the same behaved display IQ441. Dimensions of the following gadget - 124.5x64x12.8 mm, and weighs as much - 173 grams! The thickness and weight are justified, because the device is equipped with a huge battery capacity of 2500 mAh, occupying most of the back side.
The smartphone contains two sensors: approaching and lighting. The first reacts very quickly, and for the operation of the apparatus of false tripping lock screen when a call has not been noticed. The second sensor correctly and smoothly adjusts the backlight brightness. To him, too, no complaints. Next to them - front camera for video calls.
Despite the fact that in a speech the speaker interlocutor can hear clearly and legibly, the volume of the speaker leaves much to be desired. It seemed to me that it is not sufficient for the noisy streets and in the subway and did nothing will be heard. Below the display are touch-sensitive buttons: "Back", "Home" and "Menu". They applied a translucent white paint and have a pretty bright light. The microphone is located on the bottom left.
The right is a button on / off the phone. She almost drowned in the case, but has a small bump that is easy groped right thumb. Left - key-volume rocker (its shape is the same as that of the power button) and microUSB. Above is the lone 3.5 mm audio jack for headphones or a headset. On the back side - the camera module (slightly rises above the body) and the slot where the hidden hands-free speaker. To open the back cover, it is necessary to hook the notch on the bottom. Top left - a slot SIM1 (2G/3G), to the right - SIM2 (only 2G).
Display
Unlike the older models - Fly IQ441, which uses a screen diagonal of 4.3 inches, the screen size in the younger and a little less is 4 inches. The type of matrix and its resolution remained the same: IPS-LCD and 480x800 pixels. Of course, with increased density of 217 pixels per inch to 233. By eye the difference is not noticeable, even there, and there the picture looks sharp. All modern tachfony have a capacitive touch layer, so Fly IQ440 - is no exception. The sensitivity of the layer is high, work out to two simultaneous touches.
The viewing angles greater: a tilt only slightly decreases the brightness. Natural color reproduction. At a certain angle particularly keen users may notice a light purple hue.
Fly IQ440 display to light To automatically rotate the image is three-axis accelerometer (BMA222) and magnetometer (YAMAHA530). Setting the standard for Android 4.0.
Battery The main feature of this model - this is, of course, a larger battery. In Fly Energie uses a removable lithium-ion (Li-Ion) battery capacity of 2500 mAh, 3.7 V, 9.25 Wh.
The manufacturer claims that the smartphone will be working in a call up to 7 hours and standby time - up to 500 hours. These figures can be trusted, because they are almost coincided with my data. If you use the phone about 13-15 hours, the battery is fully discharged, provided: 20-25 minutes a day, 3 hours of continuous use Wi-Fi-Internet (Twitter, e-mail, downloading apps and install them), about 7 - o'clock in the mobile internet and hours of music playback.
You can only listen to music for 50 hours, only to watch the video (maximum brightness, high volume, movie resolution - HD 720p) - a little more than 8 hours! If you want to play with toys (such as GTA III), then the battery will sit down after 4.5 hours. For comparison, the Fly IQ441 is set for 1800 mAh battery, and in video mode it lasts for 4 hours and 40 minutes, and the game mode - 3. Camera As I said in the introduction, in order not to create competition for smartphone Fly IQ441, the manufacturer had to make sacrifices in the IQ440, once used a powerful battery, left IPS-matrix and the chipset. A sacrifice had the camera module: Unlike Radiance, in Energie installed module with fixed focus (5 MP), ie Autofocus will be absent. By the way, cleaned and flash, but the front camera of 0.3 MP was in place. The maximum photo resolution - 2560x1920 pixels, video - 1280x720 pixels at 30 frames per second. Oddly enough, the quality of the photos is the same as in the model Fly IQ441. The only limitation - the inability to focus. The depth of field is small - 400 mm, so take a picture of a sheet of A4 paper with the text, and then to recognize it will not work. The minimum value of ISO - 117, maximum - 800. The maximum shutter speed -1/16, the minimum - 1/4000.

Performance
The most important feature Fly Energie is that it operates on a Taiwanese chipset MediaTek 6577 (which appeared at the beginning of July this year), and the processor ARM Cortex-A9 (ArmV7) has two cores clocked at 1 GHz each. Interestingly, the new chipset can be put on motherboards designed for the old! For the graphical part,
Speaking of speed, it seemed to me that she did not change relative to the single-core MTK, despite the fact that benchmarks the chipset features more "parrots". On Android is very difficult to verify the performance, as it can only be done on toys. However, we all know that much of the operating system depends not only on the "hardware", but also on optimizing applications. For example, the game NOVA 3 on the Fly Radiance terribly slow, but more or less normally goes to some smartphones with a single core. I believe that if the device is purchased for the games, it is best to look towards the iPod Touch, iPad or PS Vita.
Music Player
The standard music player, known to all by "naked» Android 4.0. Volume of the music in the player is very high, but the quality is not good enough I thought: a narrow stereo image, ill-defined treble, stacked with several medium and low (by ear) start at 100 Hz. Here's what I wrote about the quality of Fly IQ441 in the "ears": "... the quality of sound, in my subjective opinion, the best thing I've heard so far in these smart phones." It is not clear, how can so radically change the quality if you use the same "iron"?
The volume of ring dynamics average. If Fly put back down, the speaker almost closed, so the volume is not falling. If you close it with your finger, the volume will decrease by about 40%. Conclusion The quality of communication does not result in complaints: a good signal even in difficult reception conditions. Vibrate has a capacity of below average.
Smartphone Fly IQ440 Energie will be interesting to those who want a long-running smartphone with a good screen, not hindering interface and the latest version of Android. At the same time, the potential buyer not need to have the phone ample photographic opportunities. What about young people - not sure, but the middle and older generation gadget will appeal. All the same, with a powerful battery of competitors to 8,000 rubles not. You can, of course, pay about 3,000 rubles and take Philips Xenium W732, but that's another price category.
