Alcatel OneTouch POP D1 Review

Alcatel OneTouch POP D1 is a fair quality phone, with a medium sized 3.5 inches touch-screen, a 3 MP back-facing camera and a powerful Dual-Core CPU clocking at 1 gigahertz. Great! That's it? Not at all, it's just the beginning.

Alcatel sells the Alcatel OneTouch POP D1 in multiple colors, black, purple, orange, yellow, green, blue, red and white. The Alcatel OneTouch POP D1 is much lighter than what one would expect from a cellphone of this size.

Alcatel decided to power this phone with a powerful 1 GHz Dual-Core processor with 512 MB of RAM memory. The Alcatel OneTouch POP D1 counts with a 4 GB internal storage, a moderate amount that should be enough considering that it also has an external memory card slot .

This cellphone is equipped with only a 3 mega-pixels back facing camera. It also captures HD 1280x720 videos at 30 frames per second. Additionally, the camera features HDR mode.

Alcatel designed this cellphone with an average 3.5" screen, and a resolution of 480 x 320 , giving this phone a decent image quality. This screen uses TFT capacitive technology, and has multi-touch detection.

This phone counts with a 1300 mAh medium sized Li-Ion removable battery, which is quite poor for a consuming cellphone like this. Alcatel claims this cellphone has a talk time of 6.8 hours and a stand by time of 433 hours.

The Alcatel OneTouch POP D1 includes wifi connection (but it can't provide it to other devices around, acting as a modem or router), 4G (HSPA+) connection type, that is not as fast as LTE networks and fast 3G internet connection, supported by HSDPA and HSUPA technologies. The Alcatel OneTouch POP D1 supports dual sim cards so it can to work with two different phone numbers or carriers.

This phone also comes with a couple of interesting characteristics like Bluetooth (enables communication with other bluetooth devices, computers and accessories) and GPS (Global Positioning System), and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.

This cellphone is priced about 249 dollars, a really high price for this type of phone. This phone includes quick reference guide, data cable, headset, microUSB charger and battery cover.
