Alcatel at MWC 2018

Living up to its long-standing reputation TCL brought a traditionally "abundant" roster of new phones to MWC 2015. Also, in keeping with tradition, most of these come in a large number of versions, with plenty of optional features, so bear with us here.

Alcatel 3V review

The Alcatel 3V has features found in more expensive phones, but this is a cheap phone that feels, well, cheap.

Attractive design ; Low price ; Decent display

Poor performance ; Slow camera ; Slow charging ; Too little storage

If Alcatel had picked a slightly faster processor and squeezed in an extra 1GB of RAM, we would be recommending the 3V almost unreservedly as an amazing bargain. At $150 we can live with some of the other limitations because there’s a lot to like here,...

Alcatel 3V Smartphone Review

Plastic with style. The Alcatel 3V is priced well and should be powerful enough for casual users. Alcatel has managed to make the device look stylish despite using a plastic case. Find out in this review whether the Alcatel 3V's internal hardware is as...

strong low-light camera performance ; dual-SIM ; dedicated SIM and microSD card slots ; high contrast display

short battery life ; outdated SoC

The Alcatel 3V achieved comparatively mediocre results in our performance tests largely because of its outdated SoC. This old hardware impacts battery life too, where the 3V is woeful compared to our comparison devices. The Alcatel 3V is an affordable...

Alcatel 3V Review: Paying Less for Less

Budget phones are improving by leaps and bounds every year, but you still need to be wary of phones with especially low prices. Like too many other sub-$150 phones, the Alcatel 3V suffers from terrible performance and paltry battery life. Though they...

Elegant back ; Bright display ; Low price

Camera's uneven bokeh effect ; Dismal performance ; Terrible battery life ; microUSB charging

This cheap phone doesn't offer much value, because its performance and battery life are dismal.

Alcatel 3V smartphone with 2:1 display, dual cameras coming to America for $150

The Alcatel 3V is a smartphone with a 6 inch, 2160 x 1080 pixel display, a MediaTek MT8735A quad-core ARM CortexA3 processor, 2GB of RAM, and 16GB of storage. It's not a high-end phone by any means, but this budget device has a few premium touches...

Alcatel 3V

Alcatel 3V review, price and features: Is this budget device a good starting point or should you spent a bit more to get something better?

Big, sharp display ; Camera quite capable ; Available for a low price

Poor to middling performance ; Cheap design ; Clunky UI

The Alcatel 3V lays on a big, bold display, and it’s possible to pick one up for significantly less than the RRP. But its cheap design, inconsistent performance and mediocre custom UI leave it trailing behind the very best of the sub-£200 pack.

Alcatel 3V review

Headline features at a bargain-basement price

Very low price ; 6-inch FHD+ screen ; Fingerprint scanner

Cameras are hit-and-miss ; Childish software overlay ; Mediocre performance

The Alcatel 3V doesn't have the best hardware and it's not very pretty, but considering the impressively low price, this budget offering packs a lot in.
