Reviews for the Alcatel 3X

79.8% Alcatel 3X Smartphone Review | Notebookcheck
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.

Hands on: Alcatel 3X review
Source: Techradar English Archive.org version
The Alcatel 3X doesn't feel very comfortable in the hand, but it has some great features like the rest of the Alcatel 3 range that we've never before seen on affordable phones.

5.70":

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.


59.56%: 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.
