Short Review
- The Alcatel U5 HD features a compact design with dimensions of 141.8 x 71.4 x 9 mm and a weight of 129g, making it lightweight and easy to handle.
- It sports a 5.0-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 294 ppi.
- Performance is driven by a Mediatek MT6737 chipset, a quad-core 1.1 GHz Cortex-A53 CPU, and 1GB of RAM, which is adequate for basic tasks but may struggle with more demanding applications.
- The rear camera boasts a 13 MP sensor capable of 1080p video recording at 30fps, while an 8 MP front camera caters to selfie enthusiasts.
- The 2200 mAh battery offers limited capacity, and there is no fast charging or wireless charging support.
- Running on Android 7.0 Nougat, the software experience is basic but functional.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and Bluetooth 4.2, though it lacks 5G and NFC capabilities.
- The phone does not have stereo speakers but includes a headphone jack for audio needs.
- Overall, the Alcatel U5 HD is a straightforward device suitable for users seeking essential smartphone features.
