Short Review
- The Alcatel Pop Astro features a compact design with dimensions of 133.6 x 65.3 x 9.9 mm and a weight of 144.9g, making it easy to handle.
- Its 4.5-inch TFT display has a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels, providing a pixel density of approximately 245 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks but lacks vibrancy.
- Performance is driven by a Mediatek MT6732 chipset with a quad-core 1.5 GHz Cortex-A53 CPU and 4GB of RAM, allowing for decent multitasking capabilities.
- The camera system includes a 5 MP rear camera capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps, but it lacks optical image stabilization and a front-facing camera.
- The battery capacity is 2000 mAh, which may require frequent charging due to its limited capacity.
- Running on Android 4.4.2 (KitKat), the software experience is basic and may not support the latest apps.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.1, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device is equipped with a microUSB 2.0 port and a standard headphone jack.
- Overall, the Alcatel Pop Astro is a straightforward device suitable for essential functions without advanced features.
- Its build quality is standard for its time, with no notable water resistance or premium materials.
