Recently, A Pakistani mobile company named "Q-mobile" manufactured a smart-phone which conatin Android OS, v2.3 (Codenamed: Gingerbread), Maybe, Pretty outdated for our International readers, But awesome and really fantastic for our Pakistani Fellows. We cannot compare it to iPhone or Any other Expensive phones, because the result won't be Impressive, But this phone is Still going to be Best Selling SmartPhone of Pakistan just because of its Affordable-Price and Android OS (Even if it is outdated) because normally smartphones like Galaxy SIII, LUMIA, iPhone, etc come with price of 40,000/= PKR to 70,000/= PKR, which makes it unaffordable for a common person. (In pakistan, Monthly Income of a middle class faimily is about 30,000/= PKR). So here is the review of Q-mobile Noir A2 Mobile:

Qmobile Noir A2: Battery.
Many people prefer android just for playing Cool games and for using Cool Apps,Which drains the battery, of course. The other advantage of this phone is the Li-ion battery which included in this device, Which is of 4.81 watts, With voltage of 3.7v 1300 mAh. Which runs for a long time as compared to other local smart-phones present in Pakistan.
You can also use some Android Apps,There are so many apps in android market wich are used to control usage of the battery, like battery boosters, They help to close useless apps running in background and which are of no more use. The company haven't announced its proper Stand-by and Talktime "Battery Timing" so that's why we can't tell you anything about that.
