The Alcatel Idol 5s is an otherwise great budget phone, but the battery is its Achilles’ heel.

Alcatel Idol 5S
Source: PC Mag
The Alcatel Idol 5S is a solid unlocked phone that offers good overall performance for a reasonable $200. But it falls a bit short compared with the Moto G5 Plus. While the G5 Plus will cost you $30 to $100 more depending on the configuration, it has a longer-lasting battery, better gaming capabilities, and compatibility with all major US carriers. If you can spend even more, the ZTE Axon 7 gets you flagship-level specs at a midrange price. And if you'd prefer to spend less, the Moto E4 offers reasonably smooth performance and features like a removeable battery and dual-band Wi-Fi for just $130.

Alcatel Idol 5s review
Source: Android Authority
At the end of the day, the Alcatel Idol 5s is a gorgeous looking phone with a price point that makes it feel like you’re getting something far more premium. Still, it would’ve been even better if they managed to keep the specs on par to its predecessor – while still coming in at a moderate price level.

Alcatel Idol 5S Review: A Stunner with One Spoiler
Source: Tom's Guide
At its standard retail price of $280, the Idol 5S seems a bit expensive. Staying in that general price range, you could spend a bit more and go with the $330 Asus ZenFone Zoom and get double the battery life, a vibrant AMOLED screen and way better cameras.

This display is quite big for a smartphone but frequently used for smartphones.
Large display-sizes allow higher resolutions. So, details like letters are bigger. On the other hand, the power consumption is lower with small screen diagonals and the devices are smaller, more lightweight and cheaper.
» To find out how fine a display is, see our DPI List.0.149 kg:
Only few smartphones are more lightweight than this.
Alcatel:
The former French manufacturer of telecommunication equipment merged to Alcatel-Lucent in 2006. Several business segments were sold to other companies, so the Alcatel brand is now used by various companies. The Chinese company TCL uses the brand names "Alcatel One Touch" and "Alcatel Idol" for smartphones and tablets.
The market share in the smartphone + tablet segment is very small, but there are quite some recent reviews in different languages. The ratings are average (as of 2016).
69.17%: This rating is bad. Most notebooks are better rated. This is not a recommendation for purchase.
