Alcatel OT-710
Alcatel OT-710 is an attractive and compact budget device released in February 2010. The phone is definitely interesting looking. It is made of plastic, thick, but at the same time is lightweight. The glossy area around the display prevents from fingerprints. The back covers are interchangeable which gives you a unique look. The worst part of the device is its screen. It is definitely unresponsive and you need to apply a lot of pleasure on it. The other issues are the insufficient visibility during daylight and the bad viewing angle. However, bear in mind it is a budget offering. In terms of connectivity options, Alcatel One Touch 710 offers the basic EDGE, suitable for slow web browsing. The phone lacks modern connectivity options like 3G and 4G. The display has a resolution of 240 x 320 pixels – which is in line with other budget devices. At the same time, the icons are large and visible. The homescreen is only one, but you can add a bit of customization adding some widgets, players, or menus. The 2 MP camera on the back is also pretty basic - in doesn’t have autofocus, UI and OIS. Overall, the Alcatel OT 710 is affordable, but not the best option on the budget market. Definitely, there are better options within the same price range. | |
