Alcatel OneTouch Scribe HD Review

8008W (8008W)     See other variants reviews Score: 56.9 / 100

Alcatel OneTouch Scribe HD is a good quality cellphone launched back in the year 2013, having a quite big 5-inches display, an exceptional 1200 megahertz Quad-Core processing unit, and two cameras, an 8 megapixels back-facing camera and a 1.3 megapixels front facing camera. We will get a better idea about this device's characteristics when we get into deeper details.

This cellphone is powered by a MediaTek MT6589 chip, packing an extremely powerful Quad-Core processor running at 1.2 GHz with only 1 GB of RAM which is a little bit disappointing for such a great phone. To collaborate with graphic rendering, it also uses a 384 megahertz PowerVR SGX544 GPU. The Alcatel OneTouch Scribe HD comes with a 4 GB internal storage, a passable amount that should be fine for most users considering that it also has an SD memory slot .

The Alcatel OneTouch Scribe HD has a gorgeous design, with a thickness of just 0.33 inches. The Alcatel OneTouch Scribe HD is a compact cellphone, taking into account that it features a 5 inches screen and it is only 5.67 inches long and 2.95" wide. The Alcatel OneTouch Scribe HD is sold in multiple color variations: black, yellow, red and white. The Alcatel OneTouch Scribe HD feels much lighter than what you would expect from a phone of this size.

Alcatel equipped the Alcatel OneTouch Scribe HD with a good looking 5 inches display, and a 1280 x 720 (HD) resolution, which makes everything look beautiful. Its display uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch gestures.

This phone is equipped with two cameras, an 8 mega-pixels back camera and a 1.3 mega-pixels front-facing camera. It is also able to capture 1920x1080 Full HD videos at 30 frames per second. This cellphone also features multiple interesting characteristics like auto-focus, flash, digital image stabilization, smile detection shooting, face detection shooting and geo tagging.

This device features wi-fi connection (although it can't provide it to other devices acting as a mobile hotspot), HSPA+ (4G) data connection, that is not as fast as LTE-A or LTE networks and 3G fast data connection, supported by HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. The Alcatel OneTouch Scribe HD uses a Micro SIM card to connect to GSM networks.

This phone counts with a 2500 mAh inmense Li-Polymer replaceable battery, enough to provide this phone with an incredible battery life. This cellphone has an estimated 9 hours talk time and a 500 hours stand by time according to Alcatel.

The Alcatel OneTouch Scribe HD also comes with a handful of cool features like Bluetooth and GPS Localization, and lots of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Gyroscope and Compass.

It doesn't matter whether you will use it mainly for social networks or are looking for a gamer phone, you will probably love this cellphone.
