Comparisons Featuring alcatel 3
Short Review
- The Alcatel 3 features a compact design with dimensions of 147.1 x 68.8 x 8.5 mm and a weight of 145 grams, making it lightweight and easy to handle.
- It sports a 5.5-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 720 x 1440 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 293 ppi, though it lacks HDR support.
