Reviews for the Alcatel A3 XL

85% Alcatel A3 XL phone: Full, in-depth review
Source: Good Gear Guide English Archive.org version
At $179 we’re inclined to be very forgiving for an Android smartphone, but there's not much to forgive here. This is a fully-functional phone and while it's not suited to elaborate VR apps, everything else is very usable (once loaded). The front camera is average but that's really the only downside. We actually really like the screen with its bright colours and large text/icons - it's comfortable to use and one of the best on the market for those with poor eyesight.

Alcatel A3 XL – Australian Review
Source: Ausdroid English Archive.org version
When considering the price point we give a thumbs up to Alcatel for beating similarly priced phones in the Australian market like the LG K4 that offer lower end specs than the Alcatel A3 XL.

6.00":

It is a very small display format for smartphones. You should by no means be mis-sighted and you will generally see very little on the screen and only have a small resolution available. In return, the device should be very small and handy.

Alcatel:

Alcatel is a French telecommunications company originally founded in 1898. The company specializes in the design and manufacture of cell phones, fixed-line phones, networking and communications solutions, and other telecommunications products. Alcatel is headquartered in Paris, France, and operates worldwide.

The telecommunications equipment manufacturer merged in 2006 to form Alcatel-Lucent. Various business units were sold to other companies, so the Alcatel brand name is used by different companies nowadays. The brand names "Alcatel One Touch" and "Alcatel Idol" are used by the Chinese company TCL for smartphones and tablets.


85%: This rating is slightly above average, there are somewhat more devices with worse ratings. However, clear purchase recommendations look different.
