Comparisons Featuring alcatel Hero 2
Short Review
- The Alcatel Hero 2 features a sleek design with dimensions of 160.5 x 81.6 x 7.9 mm and a weight of 175g, making it comfortable to hold.
- Its 6.0-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 1080 x 1920 pixels, delivering sharp visuals at approximately 367 ppi.
- Performance is powered by a Mediatek MT8392 chipset with an octa-core 2.0 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and 2GB of RAM, providing adequate multitasking capabilities.
- The camera system includes a 13.1 MP rear camera with optical image stabilization and 1080p video recording, while a 5.0 MP front camera caters to selfies.
- The 3100 mAh battery supports standard charging but lacks wireless capabilities.
- Running on Android 4.4.2 (KitKat), the software experience is basic and may feel outdated compared to newer versions.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, and NFC, but it does not support 5G.
- The device lacks water resistance and stereo speakers, and it includes a headphone jack for audio.
- Overall, the Alcatel Hero 2 combines a large display and decent performance with a solid camera, but its software and battery charging features are limited.
