Alcatel 3C, one among the series of smartphones to be launched by TCL at the CES 2018 has been leaked. Information regarding its full technical features and its price also made the light of the day. Other smartphones like Alcatel 1x, Alcatel 3, Alcatel 3V, Alcatel 3X and Alcatel 5 will also be launched at the tech event. While most flagship phones as well as some mid-range smartphones are seriously getting affected by the full screen display trend, TCL (Alcatel’s manufacturer) not only integrates this full screen display in Alcatel 3C but also aims to make it the cheapest smartphone with such a display. At this point, I’ll like us to go straight to the business of the day – the Alcatel 3C’s review.
DESIGN AND DISPLAY
Crafted and furnished in metal, Alcatel 3C presents a super large 6.0 inches HD+ display with thin bezels surrounding it. At the fore, the top bezel occupies the ambient light sensor, earpiece, LED flash and the secondary camera. The rear camera finely furnished has a primary camera, LED flash and fingerprint sensor arranged in a vertical format leaving the ‘alcatel’ logo to appear below it. The dimensions of the smartphone are 161mm length x 76mm width x 7.9mm thickness. It weighs 168g including its battery and has three colour availability. The colour options are Blue, Gold and Black.
Its 6.0 inches display has a screen resolution of 1440 x 720 pixels with a pixel density of 268 PPI. The 2.5D Curved glass gives the smartphone’s display extra slickness. Making it out with 18:9 aspect ratio, 16 million display colours, full lamination technology and multi-touch technology, the smartphone has an IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen.
