Alcatel OneTouch Idol S Review

Score: 56 / 100

Alcatel OneTouch Idol S is an interesting cellphone, which features a Dual-Core processing unit speeding at 1200 MHz, a medium sized 4.7 inches screen, and 2 cameras, an 8 megapixels back-facing camera and a 1.3 MP front facing camera. But let's get into much more detail.

Alcatel equipped this device with a powerful Dual-Core processor running at 1200 MHz, included in the Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8930 system chip with 1 GB RAM. Handling graphic rendering, this device also has an Adreno 305 graphic processing unit working at 450 MHz. This phone comes with an average 4 GB internal memory, which is adequate for the average user considering this phone also has an SD card slot .

This cellphone is only for sale in red color. This cellphone is only 5.26" long, but it's still able to fit a a 4.7 inches screen. Being just 0.29 inches thick,this cellphone is incredibly thin and comfortable.

Alcatel equipped this cellphone with a gorgeous 4.7 inches screen, and a 1280 x 720 (HD) resolution, making everything look perfect. This screen uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and has multi-touch detection.

This device counts with Wi-Fi connectivity (but it can't share it with other devices around, acting as a mobile hotspot), LTE 4G fast connection type and 3G connection type, using EDGE technologies. The Alcatel OneTouch Idol S uses a Micro SIM card for GSM carriers.

This phone is equipped with two cameras, an 8 MP back side camera and a 1.3 megapixels front side camera. It also captures Full HD 1920x1080 videos. Additionally, the camera has flash and auto-focus.

This device features a 2000 mAh medium capacity removable battery, which is not really enough for a cellphone like this. Alcatel says this device has a 6 hs talk time and a 700 hours stand by time.

This device also comes with a couple of useful features such as Wireless charger compatibility, Bluetooth (4.0) and GPS Navigation, and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

Alcatel is selling the Alcatel OneTouch Idol S for $ 195, which is very expensive for comparing with other similar cellphones. No matter if you will use it to play lots of games or need a phone mostly for internet broswing and social networks, you will probably be very satisfied with it.
