Alcatel OneTouch POP C5 Review

Alcatel OneTouch POP C5 is a fair quality cellphone, packing a 1.3 GHz Dual-Core processor, a 4.5-inches touch-screen, a 5 megapixels back facing camera and a 0.3 megapixels front facing camera. We will get a better understanding of this phone's pros when we get into more details.

Alcatel ships the Alcatel OneTouch POP C5 with a fast Dual-Core processor speeding at 1300 MHz with 512 MB of RAM memory. This cellphone comes with a 4 GB internal memory, a medium quantity that should be enough for most users considering this device also has a slot for an SD memory card to store songs, photos and videos and even some games and apps that can be installed in the external memory.

This device is sold in many color options, black, gray, pink, blue and white. Though this device is thin it's not so slim as many other phones you can find, with a thickness of 0.45". The Alcatel OneTouch POP C5 is only 5.18" long and 2.67" wide, but it's still able to fit a a 4.5 inches screen. Apparently Alcatel forgot about weight optimization in this 5.54 oz phone.

This cellphone is equipped with two cameras, a 5 megapixels back-facing camera and a 0.3 MP front facing camera. This cellphone also captures videos in VGA 640x480 at 30 frames per second. This camera also counts with flash.

This phone is equipped with a good looking 854 x 480 4.5" screen, which makes everything look very nice. Its screen uses TFT capacitive technology, and can detect multiple fingers at the same time.

The Alcatel OneTouch POP C5 counts with a 1800 mAh mid capacity removable battery, which is quite low for a thirsty phone like this. This cellphone has a reported stand by time of 400 hs and a talk time of 7.5 hs according to Alcatel.

The Alcatel OneTouch POP C5 counts with WiFi connection (and it can be shared with other devices around, acting as a mobile hotspot), 4G (HSPA+) connectivity, that is not as fast as LTE-A or LTE networks and fast 3G internet connection, using HSDPA and UMTS technologies. This phone supports dual sim so it can to use 2 different carriers or phone lines in the same cellphone.

The Alcatel OneTouch POP C5 also comes with a few cool features such as Bluetooth (allows communication with other cellphones, computers and accessories), GPS and TV Broadcast, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

This phone is being sold for about $ 130, which is a high price for a phone this level.
