Alcatel 10.68 UK Sim Free Feature Phone Black

Product Information

These are specs that put the Alcatel 3L (2020) on the bottom rung of the smartphone ladder, performance-wise, and that shows up in the phone's Geekbench 5 scores too: 149 for single core and 847 for multi core (the OpenCL benchmarks wouldn't fully run, which is perhaps telling). Battery life is always an important consideration for anyone buying a phone, and one of the benefits of going with a cheaper handset is that the lower-res screens and less powerful components will typically use up less battery life during the day. That's the case with the Alcatel 3L (2020), which impressed us with its longevity. You'll often find the screen is where some costs have been saved on cheaper handsets, and that's the case with the Alcatel 3L (2020). Its 6.22-inch, 720 x 1520, 19:9 aspect ratio IPS LCD display is noticeably duller and less sharp than the very best flagship phones or even the best mid-rangers in the business. Camera quality is still one of the key factors that most of us look at when deciding which phone to buy, but even the cheapest phones – like, say, the Alcatel 3L (2020) – are now able to get results that aren't going to have you screwing up your face in disgust. As with many of its other features, the phone's photo-taking capabilities are fine. That's not to say it's a terrible display at all – but it's one of the areas where you're going to have to accept a compromise if you're buying a phone at this low, low price. It's fine for everyday tasks, especially if you ramp the brightness up a bit (adaptive brightness is another feature you'll need to do without on this handset).

As for the camera, the Alcatel 1068 has a 2-megapixel rear camera and a VGA front-facing camera. It also supports 3G connectivity, Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, FM radio, and GPS. The device is fueled by a 1500mAh battery, which should last for a day on a single charge. Movies and shows are still watchable, but certain parts of a picture can get washed out or lost in the darkness, so it's another compromise to bear in mind when you're shopping at this end of the market. Camera Rounding out the specs of the phone, there's no 5G, no wireless charging, and no IP68 rating for water and dust resistance, which is to be expected. It's also worth mentioning that the phone uses the older micro USB connector rather than USB-C for charging and data transfer, though there's a charger in the box to save you digging one out of your box of old, outdated cables. Switching between screens and menus, opening up apps, applying settings – this all takes a few milliseconds longer than it would on a more powerful handset, but then that's to be expected. Power users for whom that extra delay is going to be annoying are unlikely to be shopping for a phone at this price point anyway. Around the front you've got the 6.22-inch LCD display with a teardrop notch, and although the chin at the bottom is bigger than the bezels round the rest of the screen, it doesn't look too bad. Power and volume controls are on the right as you look at the handset, with the (dual) SIM slot and a dedicated Google Assistant button on the left.We even put a few games on the Alcatel 3L (2020) and again there were no major problems. You'll be able to tell this is a cheaper display panel, but at the same time you're not going to be disappointed if you buy this handset, considering the price you're paying – and the price is all-important when it comes to a budget phone like this. In addition, high-quality gadgets and technology products tend to have better performance. This is particularly important for products that are used for tasks such as gaming, video editing, or graphic design. A high-quality ALCATEL 1068 is likely to have better specs and features, which will translate into better performance and a better user experience.

The casing itself is distinctly plastic and it feels like a cheaper phone, but it doesn't in any way feel badly built or fragile. In fact this feels like the sort of phone you don't have to be too careful with, though that's only our impression rather than anything we've been told officially: the phone isn't rated as waterproof or dustproof. There's no danger of the Alcatel 3L (2020) blowing you away in terms of its design and aesthetics, but it has a perfectly respectable look for a budget phone. It's a little on the chunky side at 8.45mm, but the edges and corners are nicely rounded, and it's comfortable and light to hold. The Alcatel 3L (2020) wouldn't claim to be at the cutting edge of phone performance – in fact it's a long, long way from the edge, and that's evident in the specs you get inside the handset.

We noticed a minimal amount of ghosting during our testing, but it's worth noting that HDR (High Dynamic Range) – which brings out the details in the darkest and lightest parts of a frame – isn't available here.

It’s important to note that when shopping for gadgets and technology products, it can be tempting to go for the lowest price possible. However, be wary of retailers that offer prices that seem too good to be true. Some less reputable retailers may sell counterfeit or low-quality products, which can be dangerous and not perform as well as the genuine product. The MediaTek MT6762 Helio P22 chipset and 4GB of RAM is just about the minimum you would want for a smartphone these days, which matches the minimum price that you're paying to get the phone. of internal storage isn't great but it's enough for most people to get by with so much of our digital media libraries stored in the cloud these days. The SIM slot doubles up as a microSD card reader, so it's reassuring to know you can add up to 128GB of extra storage if you find that you need it. A lot of phones don't offer expandable storage these days, but we always like to see it. Firstly, high-quality gadgets and technology products tend to be more reliable. This means that they are less likely to break down or malfunction. When you’re relying on a product for an important task, such as work or communication, reliability is key. Investing in a high-quality ALCATEL 1068 can give you peace of mind and help you avoid frustrating situations where your device fails you.In good light and with a steady hand you'll get decent results here, albeit maybe a bit on the dull side at times. On closer inspection, the Alcatel 3L (2020)'s rear camera can't capture the detail or keep out the noise as well as phones higher up on the pricing ladder (think the iPhone SE 2020 or the Google Pixel 4a).

In our days with the Alcatel 3L (2020) we always had plenty of juice left from the 4,000mAh battery – sometimes as much as 40-50%, though it's fair to say that our test phones don't always get the vigorous workout of the handsets we own and use more frequently. Even under heavy use, this phone will make it to the end of the day and then some, and if you don't use it much at all you might even make it through a second day – the phone seems to be particularly good at holding its charge while you aren't doing anything with it.A two-hour video streaming test at maximum brightness saw the battery drop from 100 percent to 84 percent, which isn't outstanding but is above average – you're looking at 12 hours or so of video watching between charges, it would seem, and probably significantly more if you dial down the brightness a bit. When it comes to buying gadgets and technology products, particularly in the Mobile Phones category it’s important to invest in good quality products. ALCATEL 1068 is no exception. There are a number of reasons why quality is so important when it comes to these types of products. With the very top-end games you will notice a bit of stuttering and the occasional dropped frame – but it doesn't make them unplayable, and most casual games are going to run just fine on this phone, even if you do have to wait a few minutes for them to load up. You won't get the hanging and crashing of budget phones of yesteryear. Another important factor to consider is longevity. When you buy a high-quality ALCATEL 1068, you’re making an investment that is likely to last longer. Cheaper products may seem like a good deal at the time, but they are often made with lower-quality materials and are not designed to last as long. This means that you may end up having to replace your device sooner, which can end up costing you more in the long run. The Alcatel 1068 is a budget smartphone that runs on the Android operating system. It has a 4-inch display with a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, and is powered by a 1.3GHz dual-core processor. The device comes with 512MB of RAM and 4GB of internal storage, which can be expanded up to 32GB via a microSD card.
