Among the endless variety of models under the Alcatel brand, a couple more appeared - Alcatel POP 3 5 "and Alcatel POP 3 5.5". They have their own mini-site, and Alcatel POP 3 5.5 "is even presented in the MTS operator's online store.

But as is usually the case with Alcatel, confusion arises when trying to find out a little more than the model name.

So, at the moment there are two models in the POP 3 series: Alcatel POP 3 5 "with a 5" screen and Alcatel POP 3 5.5 "with a 5.5" screen. The official website describes them together, and it seems that the screen diagonal is the only difference. There are, however, alternative sources of information, judging by which everything is much more cunning.

Models - which are one or the other, have variations built on different processors, which significantly affects their functionality. In addition, there are different color options, and depending on the color, the finish changes: black and white - "leather-like", gold, silver, pink and dark gray - "metal-like".

Each of the models, both Alcatel POP 3 5 "and Alcatel POP 3 5.5", have a variant on the Snapdragon 210 chipset and on the MediaTek MT6580. In the case of Alcatel POP 3 5 "they are called 5015X and 5015D, respectively, while Alcatel POP 3 5.5" are called 5025X and 5025D.

Mods built on Snapdragon 210 (4-core, 1.1 GHz) support LTE, NFC and have one SIM card slot. Those that on MediaTek MT6580 (4-core, 1.3 GHz) lack LTE and NFC support, but there are two SIM card slots. The capacity of RAM in all cases is 1 GB, permanent memory is 8 GB, expandable.

The larger model, Alcatel POP 3 5.5 ", noticeably surpasses the younger one in terms of screen characteristics - 5.5" with HD resolution, has better cameras - an 8-megapixel main camera and a 5-megapixel front one, a sufficiently capacious battery - 2910 mAh.

In Alcatel POP 3 5 "everything is much more modest: for a diagonal of 5 inches, the resolution of 480x854 cannot be called decent, the cameras are only 5 MP and 2 MP, and the battery is 1800 mAh.

Alcatel POP 3 5.5 "3G version, the one on MediaTek MT6580, is currently on sale in the Russian market. MTS offers the device for 7990 rubles in gold and silver colors.

Key features of Alcatel POP 3 5.5 ":

Mobile devices from Alcatel were not very popular before. After a while, the situation has changed little, and the company decided to release a model for which there will be demand. Thus, the Alcatel One Touch POP 3 5025D was presented with attractive features and no less interesting price. Of course, this is not the first budget smartphone model from Alcatel, it is just this model that is capable of arousing the interest of a user expecting to buy a good smartphone within $ 100. Alcatel POP 3 appeared in store windows in the fall of 2015, and is sold at a price of 110 USD (the price is indicated at the time of writing the review).

The appearance of the device is simple and concise, but in line with modern trends. The body is made of plastic, well assembled. Some users note that the volume rocker and the power button are located very well, it is convenient to reach them, given the dimensions of the case due to the large display.

Characteristics Alcatel One Touch POP 3 5025D

The technical capabilities of a smartphone correspond to the minimum that is required to solve most of the tasks of modern users of mobile devices.

CPU

A 4-core MediaTek MT6580 (1.3 GHz) is used as a processor. Video chip - Mali-400 MP2. In operation, the smartphone demonstrates good performance, which is sufficient for fast applications. Almost all games that are demanding on the hardware are launched, however, for smooth operation it is necessary to reduce the picture quality. For example, GTA: SA runs stably at medium graphics settings. In the synthetic AnTuTu test, the Alcatel POP 3 5025D scores 20,000 points.

Memory

The amount of RAM is 1 GB. For such a cost, expect something more at the moment, however, this volume is enough for not particularly demanding users. The main drive for storing data and installing applications is 8 GB. More than 4 GB is available for use - the memory is more than enough for applications, and there will be room for a "heavy" game. Support for memory cards up to 128 GB is declared.

Battery

The battery with a capacity of 2910 mAh allows the owner of the smartphone to stay connected all day long. Despite the fact that the device does not belong to the category of "long-livers", most owners speak positively about its autonomy. It is also noted that Alcatel POP 3 charges faster than other smartphones with a battery of similar capacity.

The charge lasts for one day of normal use, and for about 5 hours in continuous video playback mode. Enabling power saving mode extends the standby time of the device up to 3-4 hours.

Camera

You cannot get serious pictures with the device. The 8MP camera allows you to take more or less tolerable pictures in good daylight. In other cases, everything is sad. Autofocus is slow, very slow. The video is recorded in FHD (1080p) format, and its quality is also not very good. The camera cannot be included in the list of shortcomings, since it fully corresponds to the price category of a smartphone.

But the 5MP front camera allows you to take not the worst portrait photos, and is well suited for video conferencing.

Display

The 5.5-inch display is the main pride of the Alcatel POP 3 5025D smartphone. IPS matrix, bright colors and good viewing angles successfully complement a decent resolution of 1280 x 720. Of course, the display is not protected by damage-resistant glass, does not have anti-glare and other "premium" properties. However, it performs its functions without question, it is well suited for surfing the web, watching videos, playing games, etc.

Networking capabilities

A smartphone for 2 SIM cards can work in 2G / 3G networks. Has support for GPS navigation, and A-GPS technology. It can be used as a navigator, since it finds satellites quite quickly.

Sound

The main audio speaker is relatively good, the sound is quite loud. As for the earpiece, some users may have a model with a quiet or echoing speaker. However, the percentage of such cases is small, you need to test the device before purchasing.

operating system

Alcatel POP 3 runs on Android 5.1 Lollipop. In addition to the fact that the OS is quite fresh, there is nothing remarkable in the software part anymore.

Satellite navigation:

GPS (Global Positioning System - global positioning system) - a satellite navigation system that measures distance, time, speed and determines the location of objects anywhere on Earth. The system is designed, implemented and operated by the US Department of Defense. The main principle of using the system is to determine the location by measuring the distance to the object from points with known coordinates - satellites. The distance is calculated by the time delay of the signal propagation from its sending by the satellite to being received by the GPS receiver antenna.
GLONASS (Global Navigation Satellite System) - Soviet and Russian satellite navigation system, developed by order of the USSR Ministry of Defense. The measuring principle is similar to the American GPS navigation system. GLONASS is intended for operational navigation and time support of land, sea, air and space-based users. The main difference from the GPS system is that the GLONASS satellites in their orbital motion do not have resonance (synchronization) with the Earth's rotation, which provides them with greater stability.
