Comparisons Featuring alcatel Pop Icon

Short Review

  • The Alcatel Pop Icon features a straightforward design with dimensions of 141 x 72.1 x 9.9 mm and a weight of 149 grams, making it relatively easy to handle.
  • Its 5.0-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 220 ppi, which is adequate for basic tasks but lacks sharpness for high-definition content.
  • Performance is driven by a quad-core 1.2 GHz CPU and 4GB of RAM, providing sufficient capability for everyday applications, though it may struggle with more demanding tasks.
  • The rear camera is 5 MP with autofocus, capable of recording video at 720p@30fps, while the front lacks a dedicated selfie camera.
  • The 2000 mAh battery supports basic usage but may require frequent charging under heavy use, as it does not support fast or wireless charging.
  • Running on Android 4.4.2 (KitKat), the software experience is dated, lacking many modern features and updates.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.0, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
  • The device includes a microUSB 2.0 port and a standard headphone jack, catering to basic connectivity needs.
  • Overall, the Alcatel Pop Icon is a functional device for users with minimal requirements but falls short in advanced features and performance.
