Reviews for the Alcatel Onyx

89% Alcatel Onyx review: A mixed bag budget smartphone
Source: Techaeris English

At the end of the day, the Alcatel Onyx is a decent device. The form factor and the screen size together is great and easy to hold in hand. The battery life is another plus as it’ll get you through the workday for users and it’ll be great as a backup device or for a child who will be getting their first phone.

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.

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).

89%: This is a good rating above average. Nevertheless you should not forget, that 10-15% of all notebook-models get a better rating.
