Comparisons Featuring alcatel 5
Short Review
- The Alcatel 5 features a sleek design with metallic finishes in Gold and Black, measuring 152.3 x 71.1 x 8.4 mm and weighing 144g.
- Its 5.7-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 720 x 1440 pixels, providing decent clarity with a pixel density of approximately 282 ppi.
- Performance is powered by a Mediatek MT6750 chipset, featuring an octa-core CPU and Mali-T860MP2 GPU, supported by options of 2GB or 3GB RAM.
- The rear camera boasts a 12 MP sensor capable of 1080p video recording, although it lacks optical image stabilization and a dedicated selfie camera.
- Battery life is sustained by a 3000 mAh capacity, but it does not support fast or wireless charging.
- The device runs on Android 7.1 Nougat, offering a straightforward user experience without the latest software features.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.2, and NFC, with a USB Type-C port for charging and data transfer.
- The absence of 5G support may limit future-proofing, but it remains functional for standard use.
