Alcatel 3 Review

Score: 62.5 / 100

Alcatel 3 is a great Android cellphone launched back in 2018, which features a 5.5 inches display, a high speed 1300 MHz Quad-Core processing unit, a 13 mega-pixels back camera and a 5 megapixels front camera. But let's get into much more detail.

Alcatel decided to design this phone using a high performance Quad-Core processor ticking at 1.3 gigahertz, packed into the MediaTek MT6739 chip and a big 2 GB RAM. A good feature of this phone is its 16 GB quite big internal storage memory and an external memory card slot, enough to install hundreds of games and applications without worrying about space.

This cellphone is only for sale in 16 777 216 color. Alcatel made a really good job making this device as lightweight as 5.11 ounces. This phone is extremely thin and practical, being just 0.33 inches thick. This cellphone just has 5.79 inches long, but it's able to fit a a 5.5 inches screen.

This cellphone features two cameras, a 13 MP back-facing camera and a 5 mega-pixels front facing camera. this device's back-facing camera lens has an aperture of f/2 so it can capture sharp photographs even in poorly lit environments. It can also shoot Full HD 1920x1080 videos at 30 fps.

This phone is equipped with a good level 5.5 inches screen with a 720 x 1440 resolution, which makes all pictures and movies look beautiful.

This phone uses amassive 3000 mAh non-removable battery that provides this cellphone a great battery life. An issue to evaluate is that the Alcatel 3's battery is not removable so you can't throw it away and buy a new one when it begins to last shorter, though with its 3000 mAh you will probably discard this cellphone before that becomes a real problem.

This phone counts with Wi-Fi connection (which can be shared with other devices as a mobile hotspot), 4G (LTE) high performance connection type and also HSPA+ internet connection, a slower 4G network and the fastest 3G connectivity, supported by HSDPA and HSUPA technologies. This phone uses a Nano SIM card for GSM carriers.

This phone also features plenty of interesting features such as Fingerprint Scanner, Biometric facial recognition, NFC (to trigger actions, transfer data or make payments by holding your device close to another NFC device or tag), Bluetooth (provides communication with other bluetooth devices and accessories), GPS Localization and Radio, and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

Alcatel sells the Alcatel 3 for $ 140, which is not a very good offer for a device this level. This phone is probably a great option for you no matter if you want it to take lots of pictures, are looking for a work phone, want a social cellphone or want a gamer phone.
