Alcatel OneTouch Idol 3 (4.7) - Pros & Cons

quality and noise cancellation on the Idol 3 is generally good
Video quality is generally solid
7 is remarkably snappy for a midrange device
audio quality for music and videos is very good
premium-looking design and more compact build
both images and video are crisp
clear
and have good detail under proper lighting
good color reproduction and dynamic range
good displays and similar overall performance
Camera shot-to-shot time was also acceptably fast
viewing angles are generous
Onetouch Idol 3 is a great value
the Idol 3 is remarkably slim yet sturdy
stunning display
great audio
and inoffensive design
It s easily the most impressive phone available under $300
colors are fairly accurate

4G LTE network strength was underwhelming
it lacks a gyroscope
instances of jerkiness and some sluggishness to the controls
dampening sudden unexpected noises like car horns or loud music
camera sensor struggles to respond to changes in lighting
smaller and slightly weaker-of-hardware
can't go dark from the lock screen or from the camera app
weirdly no selection for automatic brightness
Alcatel may not make as much noise as its American or Korean rivals
shortcut of double-tapping to turn the screen on
rounded custom app icons may turn Android purists off
the phone lagged a bit while rendering the 3D visuals in Goat Simulator
performance is weaker than the Alcatel
no email service can overcome a bad domain name
a cheap
forgettable phone
s not glossy and doesn t feel cheap in your hand
are expensive
Bezels are fairly thin on the sides
the Idol 3 is only available in dark gray
it too will be available in the same bland color

4.0

The Alcatel One Touch Idol 3 4.7 is an affordable and compact unlocked smartphone that punches above its weight on performance, but it's still hard to recommend over the Moto G.
