Alcatel Idol 5S Review

Alcatel Idol 5S is an amazing cellphone launched in July 2017, having a pretty big 5.2-inches display, an extremely fast 2000 megahertz Octa-Core CPU, and 2 cameras, a 12 megapixels back side camera and an 8 megapixels front side camera.

Alcatel did a very good job making this cellphone as lightweight as 5.25 oz. Being just 0.29" thick,the Alcatel Idol 5S is thin and comfortable. This phone only has 5.85" long, but it's still able to fit a a 5.2" screen. This phone is available just in color 16 777 216. Talking about its body design materials, this device is mostly made of Aluminum .

The Alcatel Idol 5S is powered by a high-tech 2 GHz Octa-Core processor, included in a Qualcomm Snapdragon 625 8953 system chip with a great 3 GB of RAM memory. This cellphone counts with a 32 GB great internal storage memory and a slot for an SD memory card, which allows you to store lots of apps, games, photos and videos without thinking about running out of space at all.

Alcatel designed this device with a high-tech 5.2 inches display, and a resolution of 1080 x 1920 (Full HD), which makes all images and videos look absolutely perfect.

The Alcatel Idol 5S has Wi-Fi connection (which it can provide to other devices acting as a wireless modem or router), LTE-A (4G) super fast connection and also HSPA+ connection type (a lower speed 4G network) and the fastest 3G connectivity, supported by HSDPA and HSUPA technologies. The Alcatel Idol 5S uses a Nano SIM card to use GSM services.

The Alcatel Idol 5S has two cameras, a 12 megapixels back side camera and an 8 MP front-facing camera. Its back side camera has an aperture of F2 so it can capture awesome photos even in poor lighting conditions. It is also able to film videos up to 1920x1080 (Full HD) at 30 fps.

This cellphone has a huge 2620 mAh Nano SIM non-removable battery that provides this device an incredible battery life. An issue to consider is that this device's battery is non-replaceable so you can't throw it away and buy a new one when it begins to have trouble holding its charge, whereas with such a big battery you will probably replace this phone before that becomes a real problem.

This cellphone also features a couple of nice features like Fingerprint Scanner, Bluetooth (allows communication with other devices, computers and accessories) and GPS Localization, and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer, Gyroscope and Compass.

Alcatel offers this phone for $ 190, which is not a very good offer for comparing with similar cellphones. This cellphone is the right one for you it doesn't matter whether you you love taking pictures, will use it as a social phone, want a gamer cellphone or want a phone for work.
