Plastic with style. The Alcatel 3V is priced well and should be powerful enough for casual users. Alcatel has managed to make the device look stylish despite using a plastic case. Find out in this review whether the Alcatel 3V’s internal hardware is as good as it looks.

Don't buy this phone. Alcatel's 3V has a solid, bright, 18:9 display, but the device's awful performance, terrible battery life and uneven cameras make this handset more trouble than it's worth, especially when compared to more-capable inexpensive handsets like the Honor 7X and Moto G6.

While the external cosmetics of the phone are quite nice, the Alcatel 3V could have been a contender in this segment of the market had it not skimped on processing power, storage, and RAM but the corners cut in these areas ultimately let it down.

The Alcatel 3V lays on a big, bold display, and it’s possible to pick one up for significantly less than the RRP. But its cheap design, inconsistent performance and mediocre custom UI leave it trailing behind the very best of the sub-£200 pack.

The Alcatel 3V is not going to challenge the $500+ mid-range or flagship market, but Alcatel did a good job in providing a low-cost alternative that looks like a phone much more expensive when laid side-by-side. It is a solid spare phone or a first phone for your children.

At this price, and with its feature set, the 3V is a very compelling device and one that has potential to shake things up a little in the bottom end of the market. There are some compromises, like the lack of fast-charging, and very minimal amounts of memory. But in this market, compromises are needed to make phones affordable. Whether they're the right compromises or not is yet to be seen.

The umpteenth attempt. The Alcatel 3X is supposed to be a further step in reviving the formerly very popular brand name. The strong points of TCL’s latest mid-range smartphone are Face Key, wide-angle camera and App-Launch via the fingerprint sensor. Read our review to learn what you can expect from the Chinese device.

A strange, uncomfortable design and badly-written interface make the Alcatel 3X less than enjoyable to use day-to-day. However, it does have some good points – just not good enough to recommend it over others in the same price bracket.

As with many things electronic, you can get great bang for your buck through the range (within reason) and this is no exception. But you can also get a lot more phone for a bit more money, the Realme C3 at $269 and Motorola G8 both spring to mind. That’s not to say that the 3L is a bad buy, quite the opposite – if you’re shopping on a really tight budget or just need something low end for someone who doesn’t want or need the bells and whistles then this is a great option.

The Alcatel 3L rarely delivers above and beyond the kind of conservative confidence the price tag inspires but it doesn’t feel like a struggle to use in the way that some other budget devices do. It’s a modest smartphone that achieves modest results. It’s not hard to expect more but, at the same time, I can’t say that I really expected any less either.

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.

We’ve had a bit of time to test the Alcatel 3 (2019) Australian model and found it to be more than serviceable. Gone are the days when spending about $300 meant that your phone was slow, ugly, never got any updates and had hardly any storage space onboard. At $279 RRP per Alcatel 3 (2019) you could buy two of these for your kids and two of them for your parents and still have change left over compared to the RRP of a flagship phone from Samsung, Huawei, OPPO etc. The Alcatel 3 (2019) will be available for purchase from Officeworks and Amazon Australia.

The Alcatel 3 is comforting in its familiarity. If you’ve heard the brand Alcatel before, it’s probably the kind of device you’re thinking of. There’s roughness and brusqueness. It’s unabashed in its compromises and caveats, yet there’s still something here. If you’re after the essentials, it’ll deliver the goods. Anything else? It's a bit of a coin flip. Still, where other budget brands are subtractive and concerned with how much they can strip out of a flagship or mid-tier proposition, TCL’s Alcatel 3 feels like a foundation and something that’s building towards something. I don’t know if I would say it’s a slam-dunk alternative to the other options but it is definitely one worth considering.

The Alcatel 3 is comforting in its familiarity. If you’ve heard the brand Alcatel before, it’s probably the kind of device you’re thinking of. There’s roughness and brusqueness. It’s unabashed in its compromises and caveats, yet there’s still something here. If you’re after the essentials, it’ll deliver the goods. Anything else? It's a bit of a coin flip. Still, where other budget brands are subtractive and concerned with how much they can strip out of a flagship or mid-tier proposition, TCL’s Alcatel 3 feels like a foundation and something that’s building towards something. I don’t know if I would say it’s a slam-dunk alternative to the other options but it is definitely one worth considering.

Sadly, this device falls short of the competition in a number of key areas. The smaller, low-res screen feels cramped, performance is sub par, it uses Micro-USB, and it’s running an older version of Android. All these things have been done better on similarly priced handsets. This adds up to an experience that is frustrating as soon as you try to do more than the most basic tasks.

The Alcatel 3 (2019) could be one of the budget hits of 2019 with what appears to be a great balance of features, power and style for a price that is hugely attractive.

Considering its configurations, we did not expect the Alcatel 3T10 to be a great performer, but it was not a big disappointment. The plus is that it is easy on your pocket, so if you want to own tablet for accessing mails and doing a fair bit of lightweight work, without shelling out too much, this might be the device for you.

The Alcatel 3X wants to convince with a lot of memory and a 5.000 mAh battery. It is joined by a quad camera, the heart of which is a 48-MP sensor. Sounds promising and can convince in the test in many areas. However, as the price of around 180 euros suggests, some compromises have to be made.

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.
