Alcatel OneTouch Idol 2 Review

Alcatel OneTouch Idol 2 is a mid-end Android phone launched many years ago, with an exceptional 1300 MHz Quad-Core processor, a quite big 5-inches capacitive touch-screen, an 8 megapixels back-facing camera and a 2 MP front side camera.

Alcatel decided to build this device with an extremely powerful Quad-Core processor running at 1.3 gigahertz and only 1 GB RAM memory which is a little bit low comparing with its powerful processor. This phone counts with an interesting 8 GB internal storage and an SD memory card expansion slot, which allows the user to store hundreds of games and applications without any trouble.

This phone is just 5.37 inches long, but it's able to fit a a 5 inches display. The Alcatel OneTouch Idol 2 is extremely slim and stilized, with a thickness of just 0.29". This phone is much lighter than what you expect from a phone of this size.

This device is equipped with a good looking 5-inches screen with a 960 x 540 resolution, making everything look vivid. This screen uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch gestures.

This phone counts with wifi capability (and it can provide it to other devices around, acting as a mobile hotspot) and the fastest 3G data connection, over HSUPA technologies. This cellphone uses a SIM card for GSM networks.

This cellphone has two cameras, an 8 megapixels back side camera and a 2 MP front facing camera. It is also able to capture videos in Full HD 1920x1080. Additionally, this cellphone's camera also includes a few interesting features like auto-focus, flash and HDR mode.

The Alcatel OneTouch Idol 2 also includes a couple of useful characteristics such as NFC (to trigger actions, transfer data or make payments by holding your phone close to another NFC device or tag), Bluetooth and GPS Localization, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

This cellphone has a mid sized 2000 mAh replaceable battery that can keep it running for many hours, but you may need to charge it after some moderate to heavy usage. This cellphone has an estimated talk time of 15 hs and a stand by time of 550 hours.

This phone is priced 189 dollars, which is not a good offer for this type of phone. It doesn't matter whether you will use it as a gamer phone or will use it as a social cellphone, you will probably love this phone.
