Alcatel OneTouch IDOL 3 (4.7 inches) Review

Alcatel OneTouch IDOL 3 (4.7 inches) is a little bit outdated Android phone, which counts with an exceptional 1200 megahertz Quad-Core CPU, a medium sized 4.7-inches touch-screen, a 13 mega-pixels back camera and a 5 mega-pixels front camera. Is that all? Not at all, it's only the shortest summary in the world.

This phone is incredibly slim, with a thickness of just 0.3". Whereas this phone is just 5.3" long, it is still able to fit a a 4.7 inches display.

Alcatel designed this cellphone with an absolutely amazing 4.7 inches screen, and a 1280 x 720 (HD) resolution, giving this phone a very detailed graphic quality. Its screen uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch gestures.

This phone is powered by a high speed Quad-Core processing unit running at 1.2 GHz, packed into a Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 MSM8916 chip and only 1 GB of RAM which is a little low considering its great processor. To collaborate with graphic rendering, it also uses a 450 MHz Adreno 306 graphic processing unit. This phone comes with an interesting 16 GB internal storage memory and an external memory card slot, which allows you to install hundreds of games and applications without any problem.

This device is equipped with two cameras, a 13 megapixels back-facing camera and a 5 mega-pixels front camera. It is also able to film videos in Full HD 1920x1080 at 30 frames per second. In addition, the camera has a high number of interesting features: auto-focus, flash, fast burst mode, digital image stabilization, smile detection shooting, face detection shooting, HDR mode and geo tagging.

This cellphone includes wifi connectivity (although it can't be provided to other devices acting as a wireless modem), HSPA+ (4G) connectivity, which is not so fast as LTE-A or LTE 4G networks and the fastest 3G connection type, using HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. The Alcatel OneTouch IDOL 3 (4.7 inches) supports dual SIM so it's able to use 2 different carriers or phone lines at the same time.

This cellphone also features a few interesting features like NFC, Bluetooth (provides communication with other devices, computers, and accessories) and GPS, and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

This phone comes with a 2000 mAh medium capacity Li-Ion removable battery that provides the Alcatel OneTouch IDOL 3 (4.7 inches) a poor battery life comparing with other similar cellphones.

This cellphone is not a very good choice considering it is priced 249 dollars, while some similar phones cost much less than that. The Alcatel OneTouch IDOL 3 (4.7 inches) is probably a great choice for you no matter if you want it majorly for social networks or will use it as a gamer phone.
