QMobile A1 Lite is the younger sibling of the flagship device QMobile A1. It comes with amazing specifications in just under Rs. 20,000. There are some other phones available in this price range with better specifications like the Xiaomi Redmi Note 4 and I’ll strongly recommend getting the Xiaomi instead of this QMobile.
QMobile A1 Lite has a pretty good design. It feels premium in hand and it should be because it is a flagship phone.The phone looks a lot like OnePlus 5 from the front. There is a home button on the front which is actually a physical button, not just a touch button.The power button and volume buttons are present on the right side of the device and they are easily accessible with one hand. The screen is 2.5D curved and looks very beautiful. The top of the phone has a headphone jack and the bottom has a Micro USB port.
The QMobile A1 Lite comes with a 20 MP front camera (Yeah I know it’s weird that the A1 has a 1 MP front camera and the lite version has a 16 MP camera) and a 13 MP back camera. QMobile provides a great selfie camera in this phone to make your selfies better.The quality of both cameras is quite good. Both cameras perform amazingly good in both daylight and low light conditions. It can record 1080p videos (sorry, no 4K videos).
The QMobile A1 comes with an octa core processor and 3GB of RAM. The phone handles multitasking quite efficiently and does not lag on normal to heavy multitasking. Gaming performance is also good, you can play heavy games on this device easily. The phone comes with 4000 mAh battery and flash charging which will juice up your device in no time.
