Dual SIM (8008D)     See other variants reviews Score: 57 / 100

Alcatel OneTouch Scribe HD is a pretty good Android device released back in the year 2013, counting with a very fast 1.2 GHz Quad-Core CPU, a big 5" screen, and two cameras, an 8 mega-pixels back camera and a 1.3 mega-pixels front side camera.

The Alcatel OneTouch Scribe HD feels much lighter than what one would expect from a cellphone this size. This cellphone is sold in a lot of colors like black, yellow, red and white. Even though this cellphone just has 5.67" long, it manages to contain a 5" screen. This device is extremely slim and comfortable, being just 0.33" thick.

Alcatel packed the Alcatel OneTouch Scribe HD with a good level 5" screen, and a resolution of 1280 x 720 (HD), which makes all pictures and videos look beautiful. This screen uses IPS LCD capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch for gestures like pinch and zoom.

Alcatel ships the Alcatel OneTouch Scribe HD with a MediaTek MT6589 chip, packing an extremely powerful Quad-Core CPU clocking at 1.2 GHz with only 1 GB RAM which is a little bit low for such a powerful cellphone. Helping with graphic rendering, this device also counts with a PowerVR SGX544 graphic processing unit running at 384 megahertz. The Alcatel OneTouch Scribe HD comes with a fair 4 GB internal memory, which is adequate for the average user considering the Alcatel OneTouch Scribe HD also has a slot for SD memory cards to store photos and videos.

The Alcatel OneTouch Scribe HD provides WiFi connection (although it can't be shared with other devices acting as a wireless modem), HSPA+ (4G) connectivity, that is not so fast as LTE networks and the fastest 3G connection type, supported by HSDPA, HSUPA, UMTS and EDGE technologies. This phone supports dual sim so it is able to work with 2 different phone lines and even different carriers at the same time.

This cellphone has two cameras, an 8 megapixels back camera and a 1.3 megapixels front facing camera. It can also shoot videos in Full HD 1920x1080 at 30 fps. The camera also has many interesting features like flash, auto-focus, face detection shooting, digital image stabilization, geo tagging and smile detection shooting.

This device also features some useful characteristics like Bluetooth and GPS Localization, and plenty of sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Gyroscope and Compass.

The Alcatel OneTouch Scribe HD has a 2500 mAh big Li-Polymer battery that provides the Alcatel OneTouch Scribe HD a marvelous battery life. Alcatel afirms this phone has a talk time of 9 hours and a stand by time of 500 hours.

This phone is definitely a good choice for you it doesn't matter whether you want this cellphone mostly for social networks or are looking for a gamer cellphone.
