Short Review

  • The Alcatel Pop S3 features a compact design with dimensions of 123 x 64.4 x 9.9 mm and a weight of 130g, making it easy to handle.
  • Its 4.0-inch TFT display has a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, resulting in a pixel density of approximately 233 ppi, suitable for basic tasks.
  • Performance is driven by a quad-core 1.2 GHz CPU and 1GB of RAM, which supports everyday applications but may struggle with more demanding tasks.
  • The rear camera offers 5 MP with autofocus and can record video at 1080p@30fps, while the front lacks a selfie camera.
  • The 2000 mAh battery provides moderate usage time but lacks fast charging or wireless capabilities.
  • Running on Android 4.3 (Jelly Bean), the software experience is basic and may not support the latest apps.
  • Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, and NFC, enhancing its usability.
  • The device is available in multiple colors, including Midnight Blue and Dark Chocolate.
  • However, it does not offer water resistance or stereo speakers.
  • Overall, the Alcatel Pop S3 is a straightforward device suitable for essential functions.
