Short Review
- The Alcatel Evolve features a compact design with dimensions of 121.5 x 64 x 11.8 mm and a weight of 136.5g, making it easy to handle.
- Its 4.0-inch TFT display has a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 233 ppi, suitable for basic tasks.
- Powered by a Mediatek MT6575 chipset and a 1.0 GHz Cortex-A9 CPU, the performance is adequate for everyday use, though limited by its 4GB storage and 512MB RAM.
- The rear camera offers 5 MP resolution and can record video at 720p@30fps, while the front lacks a selfie camera.
- The 1400mAh battery provides basic longevity but lacks fast or wireless charging capabilities.
- Running on Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean), the software experience is dated, lacking modern features.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device has a microUSB 2.0 port and a standard headphone jack.
- Overall, the Alcatel Evolve is a simple, functional device with limited features and performance capabilities.
- Its design and build quality reflect its entry-level status in the smartphone market.
