Alcatel Idol 4s Review

Score: 67.9 / 100

Alcatel Idol 4s is an amazing phone launched back in the year 2016, which counts with a large 5.5 inches screen, a high-tech Octa-Core CPU running at 1.8 GHz, and 2 cameras, a 16 mega-pixels back facing camera and an 8 megapixels front side camera.

Alcatel did a great job making this phone weight just 5.26 oz. This cellphone is a very compact phone, taking into account that it features a 5.5 inches display and it's just 6.06 inches long and 2.97" wide. This cellphone is just 0.28 inches thick, making it one of the thinnest phones nowadays. The Alcatel Idol 4s construction uses Glass and Metal .

Alcatel decided to power this phone with a Qualcomm Snapdragon 652 8976 system chip, backed up by a very fast 1800 megahertz Octa-Core processor with a great 3 GB of RAM memory. This phone has a 32 GB excellent internal storage memory and an SD memory card expansion slot, enough to install lots of apps, games, songs, photos and videos without having to worry about running out of space at all.

This cellphone features two cameras, a 16 megapixels back side camera and an 8 MP front facing camera. This cellphone can also shoot videos in 2560x1440 (Quad HD / 2K) at 60 fps, and slow motion videos in 1280x720 (HD) up to 120 fps.

Alcatel designed this device with an awesome 5.5" display, and a resolution of 1440 x 2560 (Quad HD / 2K), providing this phone with an amazing graphical experience.

The Alcatel Idol 4s has an awesome 3000 mAh non-removable battery providing this phone an impressive battery duration. An issue to take into consideration is that this phone's battery is not replaceable so you can't throw it away and buy a new one when it begins to lose its charge, though with so much capacity you will probably discard this cellphone before it happens.

This cellphone offers wifi connection (although it can't share it with other devices acting as a wireless modem), 4G (LTE) fast connection and also HSPA+ data connection, which is a slower 4G network and fast 3G connectivity, using HSDPA and HSUPA technologies. This phone uses a Nano SIM card for GSM carriers.

The Alcatel Idol 4s also includes a wide range of useful characteristics such as NFC, Bluetooth (for communication with other bluetooth devices, computers, and accessories), GPS Navigation and FM Radio, and some sensors likeLight Sensor, Proximity Sensor and Accelerometer.

The Alcatel Idol 4s is probably a bit overpriced considering it is sold for 127 dollars, while some similar devices cost less than that. It doesn't matter whether you you love taking pictures, need a phone mainly for internet broswing and social networks, want it for work or want a gaming phone, you will definitely be very satisfied with it.
