Reviews for the Alcatel One Touch Idol 3 4.7 inch

60% Smaller But Not Better

You'd never know at a glance that the Alcatel Onetouch Idol 3 4.7 costs just $180. The handsome, solid device offers a bright display, loud speakers and capable cameras that will please multimedia gluttons. Too bad the phone doesn't last long on a charge. Some may also prefer a more stock Android experience compared to Alcatel's cutesy skin.

80% Alcatel OneTouch Idol 3 4.7 (Unlocked)

The Alcatel OneTouch Idol 3 4.7 is a $180 phone that looks and handles like a $350 phone. Under any other circumstances, I'd give it my wholehearted recommendation. The problem is that the same-price Moto G offers a customizable design via MotoMaker, IPX7 water resistance, better battery life, and a mostly stock Android experience. There are also custom features like Moto Display, which lets you interact with notifications when your screen is off, and Moto Assist, which can recognize when you're asleep or in a meeting and alter notifications accordingly. Then there's also the promise of reliable Android updates.

89% Alcatel OneTouch Idol 3 Review
Source: T Break English Archive.org version
Of all the sub-1K AED smartphones that I have seen, the Idol 3 is simply the best mid-range Android smartphones I’ve used till date. A near stock Android smartphone with dual front speakers and good battery life is something usually found in the higher end segment, with Dual-SIM functionality also as an added bonus. To think that this device is just a mere 899 AED is a great steal.

Alcatel OneTouch Idol 3 4.7 review
Source: Stuff TV English Archive.org version
The Alcatel OneTouch Idol 3 4.7 is a phone that scores tremendously well on the tilt factor. It’s not super-powered, doesn’t have the highest-spec screen in the world and doesn’t offer features we haven’t seen before, bar the incredibly loud speaker. On paper, it may not blow you away, especially when 720p phones can be had for around the £100 mark these days. However, just about every aspect of the Alcatel OneTouch Idol 3 4.7 is a cut above those models. The storage, the screen, the speakers and the software are all pretty great.

Alcatel Idol 3 duo is yet another proof that users no longer need to part with large amounts of cash in order to get a top notch smartphone experience. The smartphones combine quality hardware and polished software into a well-designed, solidly made packages each in their respective market segment.
