Conclusion

QiKU Q Terra is considered to be the most promising debutant in its category. The specifications on paper look really powerful and one can really feel it while using this device on daily basis. Camera and display are also good, we really liked the dual camera concept QiKU has implemented on this one. Looks good and feels premium, has all the features we look forward in the flagships. The only concern is the 6 inch display which makes it tough to use with single hand and phablet sized body is not very easy to carry. Overall a great offering for INR 19,999, and we expect more stunning phones from QiKU in coming time.
