Comparisons Featuring alcatel Pop 3 (5.5)
Short Review
- The Alcatel Pop 3 (5.5) features a plastic build with dimensions of 151.9 x 77.8 x 9.5 mm and a weight of 174g, making it relatively lightweight.
- Its 5.5-inch TFT display offers a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 267 ppi, suitable for basic viewing needs.
- Performance is driven by a quad-core processor operating at 1.3/1.1 GHz, paired with 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage, which may limit multitasking capabilities.
- The rear camera has a 5 MP sensor with autofocus, capable of recording video at 1080p@30fps, while the front-facing camera is a basic 2 MP.
- The battery capacity is 2910 mAh, providing moderate usage without fast or wireless charging options.
- Running on Android 5.1 (Lollipop), the software experience is dated compared to newer versions.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, and microUSB 2.0, but it lacks 5G and NFC support.
- The device does not feature water resistance or stereo speakers, and it retains a standard headphone jack.
- Available in black and white, the design is simple and functional.
- Overall, the Alcatel Pop 3 (5.5) is a basic smartphone suitable for essential tasks.
