QMobile has been focusing on some midrange and high-end models of theirs, but their newest release shows that they haven’t forgotten about their low-end offerings either.
The newest Noir i8i smartphone from the company just fits this bill.

Does it support 4G ?
It probably has an ancient 32-Bit Mediatek MT658x chipset which DOES NOT support 4G LTE.
Oh and good luck running Android Marshmallow on this ancient chipset with almost obsolete Cortex-A7 cores pared with a just a Gig of RAM…!
If you want a cheap Android Phone, better get something a tad more powerful like Snapdragon 410, 64-Bit Mediatek MT67xx etc… Or else wait for Android O Lite which will be optimized to run on poor, slow hardware such as this phone and will ‘allegedly’ run flawlessly even with 512MBs of RAM…!
Good Day!
Never.
