Q500

The smartphone feels good to hold because of the slim design and the compact 5-inch screen. The display feels bright and responsive but doesn't impress in the representation of colours. Q500 is powered by a MediaTek processor which is only capable of light gaming and lags a bit whenever pushed a bit. The camera feels very entry-level both at the front and the back. The device is running on a 2000mAh battery, which is below average for a smartphone with a 5.0-inch 720p display.

Q626

Nuu Q626 is very similar to the Q500, with the only noticeable difference being the Fingerprint sensor on the back of the smartphone. The Q626 has a glass back which makes the device feel premium. The processor and the RAM are similar to that of the Q500, hence it's to only suitable for light usage. The camera is also exactly the same as on Q500, with photos coming out were very average and entry level.
