- The Alcatel Idol 3 (4.7) features a compact design with dimensions of 134.6 x 65.9 x 7.6 mm and a lightweight build at 110 grams.
- Its 4.7-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, providing decent clarity with a pixel density of approximately 312 ppi.
- Performance is driven by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 chipset, a quad-core 1.2 GHz CPU, and 1.5GB of RAM, which supports basic multitasking and app usage.
- The rear camera boasts a 13 MP sensor capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps, while the 5 MP front camera is suitable for selfies.
- The 2000 mAh battery provides adequate power for daily use but lacks fast or wireless charging capabilities.
- Running on Android 5.0.2, it is upgradable to 6.0.1, offering a user-friendly experience with access to various apps.
- Notably, the device includes stereo speakers for enhanced audio quality and a headphone jack for wired listening.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, and NFC, though it does not support 5G.
- Available in black, silver, and gold, the Idol 3 (4.7) is a versatile option for users seeking a compact smartphone.
