50% Alcatel A5 LED review

Alcatel is still taking a gimmicky approach to the budget Android phone market, but a flashy LED array fails to mask a long list of distinctly disappointing compromises.

The Alcatel A5 LED is certainly different, and while the LED-packed back is eye-catching, there are too many problems at the phone’s core to make this a serious consideration over the Lenovo Moto G5.

The A5 LED is a fun gimmick, tacked onto a bad phone - the opposite of what you might expect with a high-concept mobile like this.

Alcatel A5 LED hands-on review
Source: Stuff TV English Archive.org version
The A5 LED is undeniably attention-grabbing, and the price is right too. It’s set to arrive in Europe from May onwards for €199, which should mean £170 here in the UK. That’s not bad at all given the spec, and an absolute bargain if you want a unique phone that’s guaranteed to grab attention.

The big question is whether you can get more phone for your money, and while we need to live with the A5 for a bit before properly judging it, my suspicion is it will pale in comparison to affordable wonders like the new Moto G5, which is available at the same price point but boasts superior hardware and newer software.

5.20":

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.


61%: Such a poor rating is rare. There are only a few notebooks that were rated even worse. The rating websites do not give a purchase recommendation here.
