Reviews for the Alcatel OneTouch Hero 2

65% Alcatel OneTouch Hero 2 Review
Source: Phone Arena English Archive.org version
The Alcatel OneTouch Hero 2 sounds like a powerful phone and a great budget-friendly, stylus-equipped phablet, which should appeal to those who are in the market for such a device. It costs around ~$430 (€350), and for this sort of money, one would expect mostly smooth operation. Unfortunately, choppy performance and a next-to-unusable stylus detracts from the experience to the point where one may wish to look for other options.

Comment

Model: The Alcatel OneTouch Hero 2 is branded as a fun device aimed at creative users. Not to say that this smartphone can't be used for serious work, on the contrary, it excels in that department. The Alcatel OneTouch Hero 2 is well designed with curved edges for good in-hand comfort. Display on the smartphone is a 6 inch IPS LCD with Dragontrail glass. Users can expect good clarity and colors with an excellent screen real estate. Around this gorgeous screen is a dark grey bezel that holds in the integrated capacitive stylus. The rear panel is kept simple with the Alcatel OneTouch branding contrasting the dark grey.

The Android 4.4.2 KitKat device comes with a Cortex-A7 octa-core processor clocked at 2.0 GHz, 2 GB RAM, Mali-450MP4 GPU and an internal storage of 16 GB. As users can see these specifications are an indicator for performance and the Alcatel OneTouch Hero 2 can deliver. There is a 13.1 MP primary camera with optical image stabilization and a secondary 5 MP front facing shooter. Other features include microSD support, Bluetooth 4.0, NFC, stereo FM radio with RDS and A-GPS. The Alcatel OneTouch Hero 2 comes with Sidekick 2 support, a handset. So, users can put aside the larger smartphone. Battery life is good with a non-removable Li-Ion 3100 mAh cell powering the device.

ARM Mali-450 MP4: OpenGL ES 2.0 GPU for ARM based SoCs with 4 fragment processors and 1 vertex processor.

These graphics cards are not suited for Windows 3D games. Office and Internet surfing however is possible.

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.


73.67%: This rating is poor. More than three quarters of the models are rated better. That is rather not a purchase recommendation. Even if verbal ratings in this area do not sound that bad ("sufficient" or "satisfactory"), they are usually euphemisms that disguise a classification as a below-average laptop.
