Mobile devices from Alcatel have not previously been particularly popular. After a while, the situation changed little, and the company decided to release a model that would be in demand. Thus, it was presented Alcatel One Touch POP 3 5025D with attractive characteristics and an equally interesting price. Of course this is not the first budget model smartphone from Alcatel, it’s just that this particular model is capable of arousing the interest of a user hoping to purchase good smartphone within 100 dollars. On shop windows Alcatel POP 3 appeared in the fall of 2015, and is sold at a price of 110 USD (price indicated at the time of writing the review).
The appearance of the device is simple and concise, but corresponds to modern trends. The body is made of plastic and assembled well. Some users note that the volume rocker and power button are located very well, they are easy to reach, given the dimensions of the case due to the large display.
Specifications Alcatel One Touch POP 3 5025D
The technical capabilities of a smartphone correspond to the minimum required to solve most problems of modern mobile device users.
CPU
The processor is a 4-core MediaTek MT6580 (1.3 GHz). Video chip - Mali-400 MP2. The smartphone demonstrates how it works good performance, which is sufficient for fast work applications. Almost all games that require hardware can run, 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 thousand points.
Memory
The amount of RAM is 1 GB. For this price expect something more this moment It is not necessary, however, such a volume is enough for not particularly demanding users. The volume of the main drive for storing data and installing applications is 8 GB. More than 4 GB is available for use - there is more than enough memory for applications, and there will be room for “heavy” games. Support for memory cards up to 128 GB is declared.
Battery
A 2910 mAh battery allows the smartphone owner to stay connected all day. Despite the fact that the device does not belong to the “long-livers” category, 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 is enough for one day of normal use, and about 5 hours of continuous video playback. Inclusion energy saving mode allows you to extend the device's standby time to 3-4 hours.
Camera
You won't be able to take serious pictures using the device. The 8 MP camera allows you to take more or less passable pictures in good daylight. In other cases, everything is sad. Autofocus is slow, even very slow. The video is recorded in FHD (1080p) format, and its quality is also not particularly stellar. The camera cannot be added to the list of shortcomings, since it fully corresponds price category smartphone.
And here front-camera 5 MP 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 are successfully complemented by 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 unquestioningly and is well suited for web surfing, watching videos, playing games, etc.
Networking capabilities
A smartphone with 2 SIM cards can operate in 2G/3G networks. Has support for GPS navigation, and A-GPS technology. Can be used as a navigator, since it finds satellites quite quickly.
Sound
The main speaker sound is relatively good and the sound is quite loud. Concerning conversational dynamics, some users may have a model with a quiet or echoing speaker. However, the percentage of such cases is small; it is necessary to test the device before purchasing.
operating system
Alcatel POP 3 works on Android versions 5.1 Lollipop. Apart from the fact that the OS is quite fresh, there is nothing remarkable in the software part.
Pros and cons of Alcatel One Touch POP 3 5025D
pros
- Display. Perhaps the only pride of a smartphone;
- The price is reasonable and, in principle, corresponds to the capabilities of the device.
Minuses
- The speaker may not be loud enough in some units;
- The microphone has low sensitivity. You will have to speak louder than usual so that the interlocutor can hear clearly;
- The proximity sensor does not always work correctly, therefore, when placing the phone to the ear, the user runs the risk of involuntarily pressing something.
Our review of the Alcatel POP 3 smartphone
As it turns out, the smartphone is “not without sin.” Based on the review, it does have some drawbacks that may be off-putting potential buyer However, these shortcomings are not critical for everyone. The disadvantages of a smartphone concern mainly the part that is associated with telephone conversations, so it is not suitable for frequent and important negotiations. However, Alcatel POP 3 5025D - a good choice for those who need budget device with a large display and normal performance.
Accelerometer(or G-sensor) - sensor of the device’s position in space. As a main function, the accelerometer is used to automatically change the orientation of the image on the display (vertical or horizontal). Also, G-sensor is used as a pedometer, it can be controlled various functions device by turning or shaking.
Gyroscope- a sensor that measures rotation angles relative to a fixed coordinate system. Capable of measuring rotation angles in several planes simultaneously. A gyroscope together with an accelerometer allows you to accurately determine the position of the device in space. Devices that use only accelerometers have lower measurement accuracy, especially when fast movement. Also, the capabilities of the gyroscope can be used in modern games for mobile devices.
Light sensor- a sensor thanks to which they are installed optimal values brightness and contrast for this level illumination The presence of a sensor allows you to increase the battery life of the device.
Proximity sensor- a sensor that detects when the device is close to your face during a call, turns off the backlight and locks the screen, preventing random clicks. The presence of a sensor allows you to increase the battery life of the device.
Geomagnetic sensor- a sensor for determining the direction of the world in which the device is directed. Tracks the orientation of the device in space relative to the magnetic poles of the Earth. The information received from the sensor is used in mapping programs for terrain orientation.
Atmospheric pressure sensor- sensor for precise measurement of atmospheric pressure. Is a part GPS systems, allows you to determine altitude above sea level and speed up location determination.
Touch ID- fingerprint identification sensor.

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