I had some flagships and mid rangers and never found a real use for them other then the cool factor. Yes you downgrade a lot when getting a Alcatel but the price is good and you dont get a small hearth attack when you drop it. Just a phone, basic app, youtube and mp3 player. I think most people get hit with specs but its unfair and distorts reality. If some one drives a volvo i wont go up to them saying a Ferrari is way better even second hand. Just think what you want your phone to do set a price limit and get what you think is good.
I would suggest, the main difference between it and comparable 'competition' eg moto E20 is the 5.5 inch rather that 6.5 inch screen ie it is a more compact phone. Despite the smaller body meaning lower capacity battery, the battery life seems to compare favourably with the bigger phones. Maybe it's kinda down to whether you want a phone which can do some other things or a tablet which can btw be used as a phone.
A bit laggy? XD its lagging so much it fuckin shortens your lifespan due to being angry constantly XD People who sell it are like: IT IS GOOD FOR GRANDPARENTS... YEAH IF YOU WANT TO FUCKIN KILL THEM THEN MAYBE YES
Good review and on the strength of it bought it for £60 and for the money I think it's very good. I didn't want a cumbersome 6.5 inch screen and I like being able to replace the battery. Camera is good for the price and you'd have to spend quite a bit more to better it. Very nippy and I like the built in optimizer. I agree the biggest negative is the built in speaker and limited volume. And why 13Gb for system??? I would have thought about 5.
Great review - I have an Alcatel 1B 2020 mobile, and what I like about is that when you make a phonecall or recieve a phonecall, there is a dedicated record button that you can select, I was wondering does the Alcatel 1B 2022 also have this feature? Thanks
Good review. I am not too bothered about the loudness of the speaker when playing video/audio. But what about the loudness and clarity of the earpiece when you are on a call? Is it loud and clear enough? Thanks. P.S. And I was wondering the same thing about the stupid O2 signals these days. I thought it was my phone. I am getting 1 or 2 bars at most.
Hi, I have the Alcatel 1b 2020. But just wondering does the Facebook messenger tone work when getting messages on the 2022 version. I find on the 2020 it's just the same as the text message tone. Thanks 😀
I bought this yesterday, got a 64gb SD card but it's only giving me the option to use it to transfer media but not as extra internal storage. Any idea how to solve this please?
The Alcatel 1B 2022 phone has a 3000 mAh battery, so it will last around 6-8 hours on average, but this depends on the processor of the phone and your daily usage (network strength, app use, talk time, etc). The charging time is 3.5 hours. I previously had this phone and I didn't like it at all. So happy I got a better one.
Does it have oleophobic coating on screen, or a plastic screen protector installed? I prefer it when fingerprint coating is there, otherwise an oily smudge. A shame it’s Android Go, it could easily be standard Android.
@@firstlast5350 The difference can actually be night and day ! I have the 2020 Alcatel 1B and I am looking at the 2022 model since my phone has been a good and loyal servant .If a cheap phone like these has bloatware,it's going to suck, because the specs aren't powerful , anything running in the background can hinder your performance quite a bit, and sometimes phones have way too much bloat. There are ways to remove all the bloatware from your phone though . My phone had no bloat that I can remember, definitely doesn't have any now , it is not fast , but it never lags. battery life has been so-so . And this is with the QM215 soc . Which extremely low powered and uses old tech . And yet there was a video where it was faster than the same year's 1SE I think , which had way better specs. Software is really important.
Alcatel are not in the same league as Samsung , but they don't try to be either. Alcatel phones are for people who want basic use, or for a child's first phone. Samsung phones are alot more expensive ,so of course they will have better specs/build quality.

Just get a Samsung A13 (still a budget phone but with twice the storage a longer battery life more software updates better cameras and USB C charging)
I think these are good phones to, I had a pixi 3 3.5 inch screen. You don’t need nothing expensive.

i just got this phone, i recommend it!
a bit laggy, but still a great little phone

The main reason one would buy if it’s not too heavy and a little more compact. For games you’d get a cheap Moto.
Hi, How works the Gps ?
There is no fm radio. Can you confirm it ?

Morning, can i suggest a phone to review for channel? 😊
Thank you for your review! Can I use WhatsApp and snapchat on this phone, as that would be the main reason for using it

The ear speaker is absolutely fine very good
Do you think the mobile would be able to last at least 24 hours with light usage?
yes

How long does the battery last? Thank you

No it doesn't
Does WhatsApp work on the Alcatel 1B?
bought it today, waiting for it..
Was it any good?
I have Nokia 2.2 which has helio 22 chipset and is very laggy. This has same chipset. If it is not so laggy, how can this be?
The alcatel is better optimised.
@@culturedsquid8442 Surely there is not that much you can do if specs are very similar?
