Comparisons Featuring alcatel 3c

Short Review

  • The Alcatel 3C features a simple design with dimensions of 161 x 76 x 7.9 mm and a weight of 169g, available in black, gold, and blue.
  • Its 6.0-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 720 x 1440 pixels with a pixel density of approximately 268 ppi, but lacks HDR support.
  • Performance is driven by a Mediatek MT8321 chipset, a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU, and 1GB of RAM, which may limit multitasking capabilities.
  • The rear camera has an 8 MP sensor with autofocus, capable of recording video at 1080p@30fps, while the 5 MP front camera is suitable for basic selfies.
  • The device is powered by a 3000mAh battery, which does not support fast or wireless charging.
  • Running on Android 7.1 Nougat, the software experience is basic and may feel outdated compared to newer versions.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.2, and a microUSB 2.0 port, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
  • The absence of stereo speakers and wireless charging further emphasizes its straightforward feature set.
  • Overall, the Alcatel 3C is a functional device with essential features for everyday use.
