QiKU Q Terra Gaming and Heat Test

The QiKU Q Terra has left quite an impression on us with its solid performance, great pricing and over all package. In our review, we’d pointed at all these and more and had said that performance on the handset was quite exemplary. However, one category in particular is of a lot of interest to users investing in a high performance, large-screen device. Gaming on a Snapdragon 808 chipset is bound to be good given the high-end nature of the chipset but there is the perennial fear of overheating so we decided to put the phone through a test that would gauge how well it works in both the parameters. Read on for more information.

QiKU Q Terra Camera Review: A new take on Smartphone Imaging

QiKu Q-Terra -6Work long enough in the industry and you learn to take every new technical jargon with a heaping spoon full of salt. So when QiKu, the scrappy new upstart, briefed us about its new duoscopic camera, we were quick to believe this similar to other manufacturer’s offering and perhaps even a gimmick.

While we explored the camera briefly in our review, we really wanted to stress the dual camera feature on the phone to see if it actually delivers on its promise. So what did we do? We put the camera through a test, a 3000km+ journey across India to test and see if the QiKu Q Terra’s camera can perform uniformly well across large and varied landscapes, lighting conditions.

QiKU Q Terra -2

Apples, Blackberries and now Qiku (pronounced cheeku); fruits or thereabouts seem to be the preferred nomenclature amongst the tech world. All jokes apart, when we first got acquainted with new entrant, Qiku, we were a bit apprehensive about the choice of name and its repercussions in India.

Using a combination of sheer power and some very interesting software features, the QiKu Q Terra has managed to garner a lot of positive feedback. But is this warranted? More so for a company that’s a scrappy new upstart not just in India but in its home base of China as well. That’s what we set off to find out in our review.
