Alcatel One Touch Idol
 |
Alcatel One Touch Idol with a price of around 200 GBP is a mid-range device announced in 2013. Despite its low price, this model has a metal looking back, which undoubtedly leaves a feeling that this model is more expensive. Actually, the back is made of high-quality plastic and you can feel that as soon as you grab it with a hand. It lacks hard edges and feels comfortable in the hand; the bad thing is that it lacks a grippy surface. Alcatel One Touch Idol weighs 109 grams and measures 133 x 67.5 x 7.9 mm. At the top of the smartphone you can find the power button, the volume rocker is positioned on the right side while the Android buttons are below the screen. There are both microSIM and SIM slots, both covered with plastic flaps. The 4.7-inch display produces vivid colors, but a little bit oversaturated. The processor is a dual-core at 1.0 GHz. Overall, it shows a great performance during the daily tasks. The phone has 4GB of internal storage. Finally, we should summarize that The One Touch Idol is a budget, but still a great phone. The drawback is the low quality camera and the lack of the microSD card slot. |
