Comparisons Featuring alcatel A3 XL
Short Review
- The Alcatel A3 XL features a large 6.0-inch IPS FL LCD display with a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 245 ppi.
- Its design is characterized by dimensions of 165 x 82.5 x 7.9 mm, making it relatively slim and easy to handle, available in multiple color options.
- Performance is powered by a Mediatek MT8735B chipset with a quad-core 1.1 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and 2GB of RAM, which is adequate for basic tasks but may struggle with more demanding applications.
- The camera setup includes an 8 MP or 13 MP rear camera capable of 1080p video recording and a 5 MP front-facing camera for selfies.
- Battery life is supported by a 3000 mAh capacity, although it lacks fast or wireless charging options.
- The device runs on Android 7.0 Nougat, offering a straightforward user experience without the latest software features.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.2, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The absence of stereo speakers and the presence of a headphone jack may appeal to some users.
- Overall, the Alcatel A3 XL is a basic smartphone that meets essential needs without advanced features.
