Alcatel OneTouch POP Star (3G) Review

    See other variants reviews Score: 54.4 / 100

Alcatel OneTouch POP Star (3G) is a mid-end Android phone released in September 2015, packed with a good performance CPU ticking at 1.3 GHz, a quite big 5 inches multi-touch screen, an 8 mega-pixels back facing camera and a 5 mega-pixels front-facing camera. We will get a better understanding of this phone's advantages when we get into specific details.

Alcatel decided to equip this phone with a MediaTek MT6580 chip, which holds a great performance 1300 megahertz CPU with 1 GB of RAM memory. This device counts with an 8 GB quite big internal storage memory and a slot for an SD memory card, allowing the user to install a couple hundred games and applications without worrying about space.

The Alcatel OneTouch POP Star (3G) is a compact cellphone, considering it presents a 5 inches display and it's only 5.55" long and 2.81" wide. This cellphone is incredibly thin, with a thickness of just 0.34".

This phone has two cameras, an 8 MP back facing camera and a 5 mega-pixels front-facing camera. It is also able to shoot Full HD 1920x1080 videos at 30 fps. In addition, the camera has some useful characteristics like flash, auto-focus, digital image stabilization and geo tagging.

Alcatel designed this cellphone with a good looking 5-inches display, and a 1280 x 720 (HD) resolution, which makes everything look vivid. This display uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and can detect multi touch gestures.

This phone includes wifi connectivity (although it can't be shared with other devices around, acting as a router or modem) and fast 3G connectivity, over HSPA, HSUPA and EDGE technologies. This phone uses 2 Micro SIM cards to be able to to use 2 different carriers or phone lines at the same time.

This phone also includes a handful of cool characteristics like Bluetooth (4.0), GPS Navigation and Radio, and a couple sensors likeLight Sensor, Proximity Sensor and Accelerometer.

This cellphone features a 2000 mAh medium sized removable battery providing this cellphone with a poor battery duration. Alcatel says this device has a stand by time of 566 hs and a talk time of 12 hours.

This phone is very expensive considering it costs $ 249, while some similar phones can be found for much less money. If you are looking for a social phone, you will probably love this device.
