Alcatel 3 (2019) Unveiled With Super Full View and Snapdragon Chip

TCL Communications used the MWC platform to reveal the Alcatel 3 (2019) officially. The smartphone is the successor to last year’s Alcatel 3. As expected, there are upgrades in numerous segments of the device.

Areas such as the rear camera now possess double sensors, battery capacity has added more muscle, and Qualcomm Snapdragon SoC gets into the equation.

That said, let’s find out what the phone has in stock.

Alcatel 3 (2019) Quick Review

Standing tall at the height of 151.1mm, the phone has a screen diagonal of 5.94 inches. Thanks to its 8mm thickness, you have a slim smartphone on your hands. Also, the smooth furnishing grants you a comfy feel when holding the phone. It’s safe to call Alcatel 3 (2019) a lightweight device because of the 145g weight.

Super Full View Display is how TCL Communications prefers to call the 19.5:9 aspect ratio of the screen. Well, such qualification isn’t wrong as an enormous 88% screen-to-body ratio is availed for the viewer’s pleasure. The crispness of the display is handled primarily by 720 x 1560 pixels resolution. Adding to this, a 2.5D Asahi Dragontrail Glass is mounted on the panel.

The phone gets its blazing hot performance from the Qualcomm Snapdragon 439 SoC; blazing hot in terms of budget smartphones though. Based on 12nm process tech, the chip draws strength from an eight-cored CPU of 2.0GHz speed. Gaming graphics are taken care of by the Adreno 505 GPU.

As for the optics, dual cameras composed of 13MP (f/2.0) main shooter and 5MP (f/2.4) depth sensor are positioned at the rear for smooth photographic affairs. These cameras possess the AI ability to identify over 20 image scenes. Switching sides, an 8MP camera executes quality selfies.

Impressively, the smartphone comes with connectivity features such as NFC, GPS (GPS, GLONASS & GALILEO), MicroUSB v2.0, LTE and Bluetooth. The power gradient on the smartphone is a non-removable 3,500mAh battery while the software is Android 8.1 Oreo OS.
