Comparisons Featuring alcatel Pop Star
Short Review
- The Alcatel Pop Star features a compact design with dimensions of 141 x 71.5 x 8.6 mm and a weight that enhances portability.
- Its 5.0-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 294 ppi.
- Performance is driven by a Mediatek MT6580 chipset with a quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and 1GB of RAM, which is adequate for basic tasks but may struggle with demanding applications.
- The rear camera is an 8 MP unit capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps, while a 5 MP front camera serves for selfies.
- The 2000 mAh battery supports standard charging, but lacks wireless capabilities, which may limit convenience.
- Running on Android 5.0 (Lollipop), the software experience is relatively dated compared 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 multiple colors, including Black, White, Silver, and Gold.
- Overall, the Alcatel Pop Star is a basic smartphone that meets essential needs without advanced features.
- Its build quality and design are satisfactory for everyday use.
