Another day, another Chinese smartphone maker enters India. This time, it's a joint venture between Qihoo 360 Technologies and the handset maker Coolpad, who have formed the brand QiKU. Its debut offering, the Q Terra, is yet another "flagship killer", if you will, but comes with a unique set of features which should help it stand on its own feet. Priced similarly to the Moto X Play (Review), let's see if the company's debut offering in India has what it takes to get noticed.
The QiKU Q Terra is a new entrant in the mid-range smartphone segment but it doesn’t take long to figure out this phone's unique features. The powerful Snapdragon 808 makes 4K video recording and viewing possible on a phone in this price segment. Then there’s the premium-looking all-metal build and sharp full-HD display. The Q Terra also has a very unique dual 13-megapixel camera setup that manages crisp images in daylight and low-light shooting conditions. Battery life is another area where the phone really excels. There’s a fingerprint sensor which does its job well and a fully-featured custom OS with useful bundled applications. At its offer price of Rs 19,999, the Q Terra is currently one of the best handsets - if you can live with the rather large size.
