Review this product
  • This review is about the colour: Blue

    It is average for a simple smartphone because:
    (1) its 5 MP camera cannot take basic photos for a smartphone, for example if you need to take a photo of a document, ID, or license, the letters appear blurry, unlike the Alcatel 1B 2022 which was at the same price with an 8 MP camera and can take perfectly clear photos of documents, licenses, and IDs so the letters appear sharp (and if I am not mistaken, the Alcatel 1B 2022 was manufactured when Alcatel belonged to TCL)
    (2) its battery has 4 slots where it connects, while the phone itself has 3, resulting in slow charging (instead of the expected 3 hours, it charges in 4 hours)
    Other than that, it is a very good quality smartphone, as are TCL smartphones in general, which are reliable and very durable.

    I like that it has good sound, meaning when you connect the speaker via Bluetooth it sounds satisfactory, I would say.. as well as during calls it has good sound, you can hear the other person and yourself! I have seen phones, like Ulefone and Huawei, where you can't hear the other person well, this is at least good!
    It downloads social networking apps that sometimes work well and sometimes do not respond.. usually TikTok for uploading videos, Facebook again for uploading or viewing stories, and Messenger (on the keyboard) gets stuck.. less so for Instagram, Viber, or Spotify.. also Google gets stuck a lot on the keyboard and generally freezes! This disappointed me a lot..
    Also, whether you have storage space or not, it tells you that you need to delete something, so I had to put all the photos and videos I had on a USB stick.. I got really annoyed there! First of all, it turns off the Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, and data, and you can't do anything until you delete the files.. only receive messages and calls, but you see them as notifications.. you can't go inside unless you choose something to delete..
    The camera quality sometimes looks perfect in the shot and sometimes it can show light flares if you are under the light, but it can take nice videos now and then! WARNING: you should not save videos longer than 1.5 minutes.. it eats up space!
    Well, I shouldn't comment on the battery.. if you go to scroll on Facebook and spend an hour, 1-3 hours let's say, it shuts down immediately and needs charging! For someone who needs it for professional conversations and wants to be online for many hours, I do not recommend it from experience.. aesthetically it looks very nice with a case, but guys it is not worth it for kids who want to play and scroll to have such a phone.. it drains battery a lot! Oh, and I should mention that it freezes a lot and to unlock it you need either a restart or to press the last right button at the bottom that deletes what you have seen.. now I am looking for a new phone because I also want it to provide everything! The truth is that I thought it would be a good brand because it is famous for air conditioners, but... anything is possible! So far, I see that Samsung in the new models is good, and of course with iPhones which are somewhat pricey to get.. I hope I helped you!

    For the money, it is very good. You shouldn't expect miracles, but at this price, it might be the best and perhaps the only one.

    It is not suitable for photos, small capacity, but it is perhaps the cheapest smart phone on the market ready to go of course
