Alcatel 3 2019

Alcatel has briefly shown its face in the smartphone industry in the past decade and has gathered a considerable following for its courageous venture in producing budget smartphones that are cohesive in both the specifications and design department. After making its name known among the loyal few and perhaps accumulating sufficient experience under its belt, Alcatel has taken the next step with technology advancements through the announcement of their next release – the Alcatel 3 2019. The Alcatel 3 would immediately grab any potential customer’s attention through its sleek and sophisticated frontal design. Boasting a measured length of 14.99 cm (5.9 inch) of HD+ Super Full View display, the front screen of the Alcatel 3 is only barred by a small teardrop notch at the very top of the phone, which securely houses the device’s front camera. The teardrop notch design projects a simple and uncomplicated aesthetic, in which the Alcatel 3 is made in order to appear more attention-grabbing yet professional-looking all at the same time. The dual camera setup for the Alcatel 3, which composes of a 13 MP and 16 MP pairing is optimized to recognize up to 21 different photo subjects when taking a picture. The dual camera supports real-time bokeh and post-shot refocus in order to ensure that the pictures taken are as envisioned behind the lenses. Though admittedly, as promising as this dual camera setup sounds, it is not the most impressive variant that we have seen in the market. For an inexpensive smartphone, this setup alone is more than satisfactory for complimentary shoots associated with social gatherings or outgoings, but undoubtedly would not serve as the best tool for outdoor journals. The Alcatel 3 only requires one simple glance in order for it to be easily identified among its rivaling peers thanks to its radiant appearance. Distinguished among others due to its look, the Alcatel 3’s bright and alluring exterior features a creatively merged two-tone colors on its back, delineating from a calming sapphire blue which deepens into an expressive purple and also a jetblack color fading into a gradient of metallic blue. The physical design of the phone is claimed to be premium as it is foretold to feature a silky smooth 2.5D glass coupled with a metallic frame and gleaming shine casing. However, the physique of this aesthetically pleasing device is actually crafted from shiny polycarbonate instead of glass or metal. Needless to say, use of cheap material in order to produce such design brimming with creative expression is one way of staying true to the theme of being an affordable smartphone, albeit to many people’s disappointment should they grasp the Alcatel 3 in their hands.

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.

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

ARM Mali-400 MP: OpenGL ES 2.0 graphics card for ARM SoCs that is scaleable from one to four fragment processors and has got one vertex processor. Mainly used in conjunction with ARM A9 cores in tablets and smartphones.

ARM Mali-T720 MP2: Integrated graphics card in ARM based SoCs. Can be configured with up to 8 cores (T720 MP8) and 650 MHz core clock (at 28nm). Supports OpenGL ES 3.1, OpenCL 1.1, DirectX 11 FL9_3, and Renderscript.

Imagination PowerVR GE8100: Integrated graphics card for entry level ARM SoCs. Smallest variant of the Series8XE series of GPUs (GE8xx0) with a peak fillrate of only one pixel/clock.

Imagination PowerVR GE8320: Integrated graphics card for mid-range ARM SoCs.

unknown:

Only some 3D games with very low demands are playable with these cards.

Qualcomm Adreno 505: Mid range graphics card integrated in the Snapdragon 430 and 435 SoCs. Based on the 500 generation and supports modern standards like Vulkan 1.0, OpenGL ES 3.1 + AE, OpenCL 2.0 and DirectX 12.

PowerVR GE8322 / IMG8322: Entry level graphics card based on the PowerVR Rogue architecture with support for OpenGL ES 3.2 and Vulkan 1.1.

Non demanding games should be playable with these graphics cards.

6.00:

It is a small display format for smartphones. You shouldn't be severely defective in vision, and you won't see much detail on the screen and only have a small resolution available. For that, the device should be small and handy, easy to transport.

10.00:

This is a standard display format for tablet computers or small convertibles. You see more on the screen than on a smartphone but you can't use big resolutions well. On the other hand, mobility is not a problem.

66.68%: 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.
