Comparisons Featuring alcatel 7
Short Review
- The Alcatel 7 features a sleek design with dimensions of 162.1 x 75 x 8.6 mm and a weight of 175g, making it comfortable to hold.
- Its 6.0-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 1080 x 2180 pixels, providing sharp visuals at approximately 402 ppi.
- Performance is driven by the Mediatek MT6763T Helio P23 chipset, paired with an octa-core CPU and 2GB of RAM, which handles everyday tasks adequately.
- The camera system includes a 12 MP rear camera with a secondary 2 MP depth sensor, capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps, while the 8 MP front camera is suitable for selfies.
- The 4000 mAh battery supports 10W charging, ensuring decent longevity throughout the day.
- Running on Android 8.1 (Oreo), the software experience is straightforward but lacks the latest features.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, though it does not support 5G.
- The device comes with a USB Type-C port and retains a headphone jack for audio.
- Overall, the Alcatel 7 offers a balanced combination of design, performance, and camera capabilities for its release period.
