Comparisons Featuring alcatel Pop 3 (5)
Short Review
- The Alcatel Pop 3 (5) features a compact design with dimensions of 141 x 71.5 x 9.9 mm and a weight of 167g, making it easy to handle.
- Its 5.0-inch TFT display has a resolution of 480 x 854 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 196 ppi, which may not be sharp by current standards.
- Performance is powered by a quad-core CPU operating at 1.3/1.1 GHz, paired with 1GB of RAM, suitable for basic tasks but limited for intensive applications.
- The rear camera offers 5 MP with autofocus, capable of recording video at 1080p@30fps, while the 5 MP front camera is adequate for selfies.
- The 2000 mAh battery provides basic longevity but lacks fast or wireless charging capabilities.
- Running on Android 5.1 (Lollipop), the software experience is dated, lacking updates 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 is available in black, silver, and gold, adding some aesthetic choices.
- Overall, the Alcatel Pop 3 (5) serves as a basic smartphone with essential features but limited performance and display quality.
- It is suitable for users with minimal smartphone needs.
