Alcatel OneTouch 997 is a not so powerful Android cellphone, coming with a medium 4.3-inches touch-screen, a great performance 1000 megahertz Dual-Core CPU, and 2 cameras, an 8 MP back-facing camera and a 0.3 MP front-facing camera.
The Alcatel OneTouch 997 is powered by a MediaTek MT6577 chip, including a fast Dual-Core processing unit clocking at 1 GHz. Handling graphic intensive applications and games, this device also counts with a PowerVR SGX531 GPU ticking at 200 megahertz. This cellphone has a 4 GB internal storage, a common quantity that should be enough considering this cellphone also has a slot for SD memory cards to store photographs and videos and even some applications that allow being installed in the external memory.
This phone is quite thin and looks really nice, but it's not close to being one of the thinnest cellphones in the market, with a thickness of 0.43". Alcatel is offering the Alcatel OneTouch 997 in three colors, black, red and white. The Alcatel OneTouch 997 doesn't feel very lightweight for a cellphone this size, weighting 5.04 ounces.

Alcatel equipped this cellphone with a nice 4.3 inches screen, and a 800 x 480 resolution, giving this phone a good graphic quality. This screen uses TFT capacitive technology, and can detect multiple fingers at the same time.
The Alcatel OneTouch 997 includes wifi capability (which can be shared with other devices around, acting as a router or modem) and 3G fast connectivity, supported by HSDPA, HSUPA and EDGE technologies. This phone supports dual sim so it can to use two different phone numbers and even different carriers.
The Alcatel OneTouch 997 has a 1800 mAh medium capacity Li-Ion removable battery that can keep this phone running for some hours, although you will probably need to charge it if you use it heavily. This phone has an estimated 400 hours stand by time and a 16 hs talk time according to Alcatel.
The Alcatel OneTouch 997 also comes with a handful of cool characteristics such as Bluetooth (4.0) and GPS (Global Positioning System), and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.
The Alcatel OneTouch 997 is very overvalued considering it costs $ 249, while many similar phones are offerred way cheaper than that.
