Design and display

The design of the QMobile Noir A750 is sleek and simple. The device has a plastic body measuring just 8.9mm and its aluminum frame is certainly a nice touch, adding a dash of premium to the package. The frame also acts as an antenna, boosting signal strength and in turn reception quality. You can also rely on the Corning Gorilla Glass at the front to avoid scratches and things thrown at it.

The QMobile Noir A750 sports a 5-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 1280 x 720 pixels that results in a near-Retina 294ppi density. The 720p screen offers good brightness levels and good contrast and nicely punchy colors. Viewing angles came out surprisingly good, too. Furthermore, the display is very sensitive, enabling a cool unlocking mode, where in you can blow air to the screen to unlock your smartphone.

 A chrome grill that serves as the earpiece, the sensor array and the 5-megapixel front camera are placed above the display. The bezel is wide but it's not flat as it meets and the edges and there's some embossing, similar to the Galaxy SIII.

The phone is surrounded by an aluminium frame in the middle, which gives it a premium look and makes it feel sturdy. The company says that it also acts as the cellular antenna. You will also notice that the frame has small white bands at the left side, at the bottom and at the top. 

The Power/ Screen-lock key is located at the right side of the phone, while the Volume rocker key is place at the left side. Both these keys are also made of metal but are a bit rickety as they are not firmly fixed. When you shake the phone, you'll also hear some sound coming from the same area due to their movement. The Micro-USB port is located at the bottom. The 3.5mm headset jack sits at the top of the phone.

 The phone's 5-inch HD IPS screen sports a resolution of 720x1280 pixels and a colour depth of 16.7 million. Thanks to the higher resolution, text, icons and images look much sharper compared to qHD phones. There was no pixelation. However, we felt that the screen's colour temperature was skewed towards the colder side, with whites carrying a blue tinge.

Battery Life

The QMobile Noir A750 has slightly low battery life and the constant use of included apps does not help. On average you will get 3-4 hours of continuos talk time.  Real Life Tests:

Talk Time : 4 Hours on 3G / 6 Hours on 2G

Internet : 3 Hours on 3G / 5 hours on Wifi

Music : Upto 12 Hours 

Video : 3 Hours

The Good

The cameras are also an advantage on the QMobile Noir A750 and those with a taste for mobile photography will truly come to appreciate the device for that. The phone achieves what most phones by sector 2 manufacturers dont, premium feel. 

Camera

The QMobile Noir A750 has a 13-megapixel rear camera and a 5-megapixel front facing camera. The app includes Normal, HDR, Face Beauty, Smile detection, Exposure compensation, Panorama, Photosphere(multi angle view) modes. It also offers a burst mode, letting users click up to 99 shots at once. The photo mode allows users to modify settings like Exposure, colour effect, ISO and white balance, among others. There's a self timer of up to 10 seconds as well.

We experienced a minor lag when we tried to focus on an object and press the shutter. We also noticed that there is minor delay between two consecutive camera shots in the continuous shot mode. This makes it hard to capture images quickly. The quality of the pictures taken during daylight was decent. However, photos taken indoors under artificial light were a bit grainy and at times looked different than the actual setting. The camera tends to soften the tone to a cooler shade.
