Alcatel A3 Review

Score: 61 / 100

Alcatel A3 is a pretty good cellphone launched back in 2017, which counts with a good size 5 inches screen, an extremely fast 1.25 GHz Quad-Core processing unit, and 2 cameras, a 13 megapixels back side camera and a 5 megapixels front-facing camera.

Alcatel decided to build the Alcatel A3 using a high-tech Quad-Core processing unit clocking at 1250 MHz, packed into a MediaTek MT6737 system chip and a big 1,5 GB of RAM. This cellphone comes with aquite big 16 GB internal storage and a slot for SD memory cards, enough to store a couple hundred applications without any problem.

Alcatel made this phoneavailable just in 16 777 216 color. About its construction quality, this cellphone is mainly built with Plastic and Metal . The Alcatel A3 is quite a compact device, given that it features a 5" screen and it's just 5.59 inches long. Being just 0.34" thick,this phone is slim and good-looking.

The Alcatel A3 has two cameras, a 13 mega-pixels back facing camera and a 5 mega-pixels front side camera. It also films videos up to 1920x1080 (Full HD) at 30 frames per second. In addition, the camera features time lapse video.

This phone is equipped with a nice 5 inches display with a 720 x 1280 (HD) resolution, making everything look colorful and brightful.

This cellphone includes wi-fi capability (which it can provide to other devices as a mobile hotspot), 4G (LTE) high speed connection and also HSPA+ connection type, which is a slower 4G network and 3G fast internet connection, over HSDPA and HSUPA technologies. This cellphone works with a Nano SIM card for GSM networks.

This device uses a large 2460 mAh Nano SIM non-replaceable battery that can keep this phone running for several hours and even reach the end of the day without charging it at all. An issue to take into consideration is that the Alcatel A3's battery is not removable so you can't change it when it starts to have trouble holding its charge, although with this big battery you will probably replace this device before it becomes an issue.

This cellphone also includes many useful characteristics as Biometric fingerprint, Near Field Communication (NFC), Bluetooth (4.2 ), GPS Localization and Radio, and some sensors likeLight Sensor, Proximity Sensor and Accelerometer.

No matter whether you need a cellphone to play tons of games, you love taking pictures or are looking for a device majorly for internet broswing and social networks, this phone is a very good choice for you.
