Comparisons Featuring alcatel A3
Short Review
- The Alcatel A3 features a compact design with dimensions of 142 x 70.5 x 8.6 mm and a weight that enhances portability.
- Its 5.0-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 294 ppi.
- Performance is driven by a Mediatek MT6737 chipset, with a quad-core 1.25 GHz Cortex-A53 CPU and Mali-T720MP2 GPU, supported by 1.5GB of RAM.
- The rear camera is a 13 MP unit with an f/2.0 aperture, capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps, while the 5 MP front camera caters to basic selfie needs.
- The battery capacity stands at 2460 mAh, which may require frequent recharging due to its limited size.
- Running on Android 6.0 Marshmallow, the software experience is straightforward but lacks the latest features.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.2, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
