Comparisons Featuring alcatel 1 (2021)
Short Review
- The Alcatel 1 (2021) features a compact design with dimensions of 137.6 x 65.7 x 9.8 mm and a weight of 134 grams, making it lightweight and easy to handle.
- Its 5.0-inch TFT LCD display has a resolution of 480 x 960 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 215 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks but lacks sharpness for detailed visuals.
- Performance is powered by a Mediatek MT6739 chipset with a quad-core 1.28 GHz CPU and 1GB of RAM, which is suitable for light usage but may struggle with multitasking.
- The rear camera is a 5 MP unit capable of recording 720p video at 30fps, while the 2 MP front camera is basic for selfies.
- Battery life is supported by a 2000 mAh capacity, but it lacks fast charging and wireless capabilities.
- The device runs on Android 11 (Go edition), optimized for lower-end hardware, providing a streamlined user experience.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.2, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The phone is available in Volcano Black and AI Aqua colors, offering limited aesthetic choices.
- There is a headphone jack for audio output, but it does not feature stereo speakers.
- Overall, the Alcatel 1 (2021) is designed for basic functionality with modest specifications.
