Recently, Alcatel unveiled a low-cost smartphone with respectable hardware and a stylish design. The French OEM’s entrance into the already crowded market for inexpensive smartphones is the Alcatel 7. As I mentioned, the smartphone has fairly adequate mid-range specs, although they seem a little low-end to me. Enjoy the dual back cameras, clear display, and stunning style. See a few of the features a smartphone can provide below.
Alcatel 7 Key Specs and Features
- 6.0-inch, IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen, 1080 X 2160 pixels
- Android 8.1 Oreo
- Octa-core MediaTek MT6763T CPU with 2GB RAM
- 32GB built-in storage space, up to 128GB with a memory card
- Dual 12MP + 2MP rear camera and an 8MP front camera
- 4G LTE
- Fingerprint scanner (rear)
- 4, 000mAh non removable Li–ion battery
Design and Display
Despite its appealing design, the smartphone cannot be compared to the Oppo F9 in terms of outstanding quality. Although it is strong and has a level of premiumness in its structure. The upper portion of the device has a vertical row with two cameras in the middle, a flash below it, and the Alcatel logo straight below. Additionally, the front bezel is rather prominent, save for the sides.
Nowadays’ cellphones often have a larger display than those of the past. The Alcatel 7’s 6.0-inch display is rather typical these days. The LCD display also boasts a high viewing angle and a resolution of 1080 x 2160 pixels.
Battery and Camera
You cannot dispute the size of the battery you have in front of you. Although there are larger batteries available, the smartphone’s 4, 000mAh battery is still a significant amount of power. To top it all off, the Alcatel 7 has rapid charge, which is far superior in terms of recharging your battery to its maximum capacity.
Along with joining the growing list of smartphones with twin cameras, the Alcatel 7 appears to feature exceptionally good mid-range optics. You get two cameras on the back, a 12MP primary camera and a 2MP depth sensor, as was already revealed. With the position reversed, there is only one 8MP front-facing camera for selfies and wefies.
Hardware and Software
This is when the bottom shelf status of the mid-range smartphone comes to light. It doesn’t really matter; as long as the cost justifies the trade-offs, everything is fine. The smartphone has a MediaTek MT6763T processor and a Mali-G71 GPU running it.
Additionally, the Alcatel has 32GB of built-in storage and 2GB of RAM. The fact that the storage can be expanded and can reach 128GB with a memory card is a fantastic thing. With a small addition from them, Alcatel also includes the most recent version of the operating system, Android 8.1 Oreo.
Alcatel 7 Pricing and Availability
If you wish to buy a smartphone, it will cost you around 65,000 Nara from various internet retailers or local shops.
