Gamers could enjoy a selection of popular titles, including “Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater”, “Splinter Cell”, and “Vice City 3D”, positioning the N-Gage QD as a legitimate competitor in the mobile gaming space.

The N-Gage QD features a 2.1-inch TFT display with a resolution of 176 x 208 pixels, providing clear visuals for gaming and multimedia. The interface is user-friendly, featuring a D-pad, shortcut keys, and dedicated gaming buttons that allow for easy navigation and control during gameplay.
