Performance
Under the hood, the QMobile Noir A950 runs on Android 4.1 Jelly Bean, which was standard at the time of its release. It is powered by the Mediatek MT6589W chipset featuring a quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and a PowerVR SGX544 GPU. This setup provides adequate performance for basic tasks and light multitasking, though it shows its age against modern smartphones. The phone's 1GB RAM is somewhat limiting by today's standards, but it allowed the device to handle apps reasonably well within the context of its release period.
