Alcatel 1x (2019) Quick Review

Polycarbonate and glass were the chief materials used in designing the smartphone’s appearance. While the glass is found at the core as the phone’s display, the polycarbonate material forms the majority of the device’s rear.

Two cameras (13MP and 2MP) are positioned vertically at the central portion of the rear’s top quadrant. Beneath the cameras, the LED flash is seen. A fingerprint reader comes immediately after the flash. Meanwhile, the rear’s base is the home to the “Alcatel logo”.

In the display segment, there’s the 5.5 inches IPS panel that works with 720 x 1440 pixels resolution and 293PPI pixel density. To spice things up, an 18:9 aspect ratio gives the screen Full View Display. To this end, approximately 78% is reserved as the screen from the phone’s IPS panel.

Under the hood, MediaTek MT6739 powers the smartphone with assistance from Quad-core 1.5GHz CPU. A 2GB RAM is attached to the SoC in order to smoothen multitasking abilities. The other section of the memory presents us with the 16GB ROM that can be increased to 128GB with the help of a MicroSD card.

For the relay of graphics and picture quality, PowerVR GE8100 GPU got incorporated into the chipset. You can get over a half day’s usage on the smartphone given the 3,000mAh battery. Less I forget, you can take decent selfies with the phone’s 5MP shooter. If you’ve got a 4G SIM card, you can utilise the smartphone’s LTE network to the fullest.
