Reviews for the Alcatel 5
Alcatel 5 Smartphone Review | Notebookcheck
Newly developed design. The Alcatel 5 is supposed to attract customers as the new design flagship of the Chinese company TCL. In order to do that, it throws out the established design arrangements and reorders them. The result is a smartphone that pursues other solutions but is weak in the detail. We clarify in our review what buyers of the Alcatel 5 can expect.

Alcatel 5 Hands On, Quick Review: Elegant Looks For Cheap

Touted as their “flagship” device, the Alcatel 5 sells for Php 8,499. While we admittedly love its unconventional notch-free design, its outdated processor and Android OS make us think twice about this promising device. Other brands offer better specs at a similar price or lower, placing the Alcatel 5 at a really tough place.

Mid-range Alcatel 5
Source: Gadgetspeak
Archive.org version
This is not a premium phone and so one cannot expect premium performance. However, having 32GB ROM and 3GB RAM and running Android 7 (but not the more recent Android 8) on an octa-core MTK6750 processor one can expect and does get reasonable performance all round even though booting up from cold took the long time of about 90 seconds. Available SIM-free on Amazon for £179.99 it should suit those who want the wide range of features but are not power users who make heavy use of a smartphone.

The Alcatel 5 offers a dominating 18:9 display and reasonable camera performance for around £230. However, a slightly odd design, underwhelming performance and mediocre software make it hard to recommend in a strong field. The similarly priced Moto G5S Plus does the basics a lot better and with considerably more style.

Alcatel 5 review: Hands-on
Source: Tech Advisor

The Alcatel 5 is definitely an engaging smartphone. From our short experience with it, it appears that you get a lot - like real lot - for your money. We are not too fussed about the low storage space or average processor, or even top bezel as for the price you get a very good looking phone with some nice premium features.

With an almost bezel-free display, this 18:9 ratio phone does similar tricks as a lot of the big flagship devices, but for less. If everything here works well, the Alcatel 5 could be a great handset.

Alcatel 5 initial review: Striking edge-to-edge looks in an affordable package
Source: Pocket Lint

At €229 it's unlikely you'll spot a phone that's more eye-catching than the Alcatel 5 when it launches. Its unconventional approach to screen bezel will make it one of the few phones that's recognisable in the sea of same-y looking devices.
