Comparisons Featuring alcatel One Touch Scribe HD
Short Review
- The Alcatel One Touch Scribe HD features a sleek design with dimensions of 144 x 75 x 8.7 mm and a weight of 135g, making it comfortable to hold.
- 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 MT6589 chipset with a quad-core 1.2 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and 4GB of RAM, which supports basic multitasking.
- The rear camera is an 8 MP unit with autofocus, capable of recording video, while the front-facing camera is 1.3 MP for selfies.
- The 2500 mAh battery provides adequate power for daily use but lacks fast or wireless charging capabilities.
- Running on Android 4.1 (Jelly Bean), the software experience is relatively dated compared to newer versions.
- 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 for charging and data transfer.
- The absence of water resistance and stereo speakers may limit its appeal for some users.
- Overall, the Alcatel One Touch Scribe HD is a basic smartphone with essential features suitable for everyday tasks.
