Why the QMobile LT700 Pro Is Underrated — And Why It Still Offers Value

Introduction
In a smartphone market overflowing with new models, it’s easy to overlook phones from smaller or older brands. The QMobile LT700 Pro is one such device that doesn’t get much attention today, yet for certain users it can deliver real value. This article explores what makes it underrated, where it shines and where it lags, what the approximate price might be in Kenya now, and possible sellers or import routes.

What the LT700 Pro Brings to the Table

• Balanced Mid-Tier Hardware (for its time)
  The LT700 Pro runs on the MediaTek MT6735 chipset, a quad-core Cortex-A53 processor clocked at 1.3 GHz. (IMEI24) It couples that with 3 GB RAM and 16 GB of internal storage. (IMEI24) Those specs, while not cutting edge today, are respectable for many everyday tasks like messaging, video streaming, light multitasking, and social media.
• Good Display and Compact Size
  It has a 5.0-inch IPS LCD panel with a 720 × 1280 resolution (HD) giving a pixel density of ~294 ppi. (IMEI24) The compact size is comfortable in hand, and the display is adequate for general use.
• Camera Setup
  On the rear there is a 13 MP main camera with PDAF and LED flash. (IMEI24) On the front, a 5 MP shooter handles selfies and video calls. (IMEI24) For daylight and well-lit scenes, the camera can take decent shots.
• Connectivity, Battery & Extras
  The LT700 Pro supports GSM, HSPA and LTE (various bands including 1, 3, 7, 20, 38, 39, 40, 41) in many versions. (IMEI24) It has a 2,400 mAh removable battery, which makes replacement easier than in sealed designs. (sb.mobgsm.com) It also includes features often useful: dual SIM, microSD expansion, GPS, Wi-Fi b/g/n, Bluetooth, FM radio, and a 3.5 mm headphone jack. (do.mobgsm.com)

Where the LT700 Pro Falls Behind

• Outdated Software / Limited Updates
  The phone ships with Android 6.0 Marshmallow (Amigo 3.1 UI). (lambdatest.com) As a result, many modern apps may not support it fully, and security updates or patches are likely nonexistent now.
• Modest Performance for Demanding Tasks
  While 3 GB RAM was good once, by modern standards it limits heavy multitasking, large apps, or resource-intensive games. The MediaTek MT6735 is also not built for demanding graphics or high frame rates.
• Battery Age & Capacity
  The 2,400 mAh battery may be sufficient in its prime, but many units now (if used) will have degraded battery health, resulting in shorter life. Also, in modern usage patterns (video, data, streaming) it is modest.
• Parts and Support Difficulty in Kenya
  Being an older and not globally mainstream brand, spare parts, repair, and firmware support may be harder to access locally.

Why It’s Underrated

Many compare phones purely on highest specs: top RAM, fastest CPU, big batteries, 5G, etc. The LT700 Pro doesn’t match those headlines today. But for users whose needs are more moderate—calls, messaging, social media, video playback, light photography—it still offers a complete package. Its compact design, removable battery, camera capability, LTE support, and full feature set (GPS, dual SIM, microSD) make it a sensible choice for a budget or secondary phone. Because it is less marketed and newer models overshadow it, many never realize its utility.

Approximate Current Price in Kenya

• There are no reliable Kenyan listings for new LT700 Pro units.
• In Pakistan, one listing gave a price of Rs. 15,499 for the device. (mega.pk)
• Converting that to Kenyan Shillings (approx 1 Pakistani Rupee ≈ KES 0.25–0.30, rate varies) gives about KES 3,800 to KES 4,600 before shipping, import, and duty.
• Because the model is older and often discontinued, one would likely find used or refurbished units. Factoring shipping, import duty, and seller margin, a realistic landed price in Kenya for a used or refurbished LT700 Pro might be in the range KES 8,000 to KES 15,000, depending on condition, battery health, and the seller.

Stores / Channels to Buy From

• International marketplaces & importers: Websites in Pakistan or regional markets might still list the LT700 Pro; these can be imported to Kenya using courier or freight forwarding.
• Online classifieds / used phone platforms: Kenyan platforms like Jiji.co.ke, Facebook Marketplace, or OLX may sometimes have used units imported by resellers.
• Refurbished phone shops in Nairobi / major cities: Some shops dealing in imported or secondhand phones may have inventory or accept custom orders.
• Spare-parts dealers: Sometimes old stock or used units are available via spare parts vendors who also carry devices.

Conclusion

The QMobile LT700 Pro is underrated because it’s not flashy by modern standards, but it retains many features that matter. With 3 GB RAM, LTE support, a decent camera setup, removable battery, and full connectivity, it remains a practical option for users with moderate needs. If you can find a used/refurbished unit for KES 8,000 to KES 15,000 in Kenya, it may turn out to be a worthwhile bargain—especially if the battery is still healthy and the phone works reliably.
