Short Review
- The Alcatel Pixi 3 (5.5) features a simple design with a variety of color options, although its build materials are not specified.
- The 5.5-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of around 200 ppi, which may not provide the sharpest visuals.
- Performance is driven by a Mediatek MT6580 chipset with a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and 1GB of RAM, suitable for basic tasks but limited for demanding applications.
- The rear camera is 8 MP with autofocus, while the 2 MP front camera is adequate for selfies.
- Battery capacity stands at 2910 mAh, supporting standard usage without fast or wireless charging options.
- The device runs on Android 5.0 (Lollipop), which may feel outdated compared to newer software versions.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it lacks 5G and NFC support.
- The phone is equipped with a microUSB 2.0 port and has a standard headphone jack.
- Overall, the Alcatel Pixi 3 (5.5) is a basic smartphone with essential features, suitable for casual users.
- Its performance and display quality are adequate for everyday tasks but may not satisfy more demanding users.
