I have one. First things first, if you need a smarphone because pretty much everything is done using an app these days or needs a smartphone for one reason or another then, this gets you there. But, the phone is SO, soooo, SO SO SO slow. it regularly crashes. It is a smartphone but it doesn't have the power it needs. You'll often get really frustrated with its sluggish performace. Things like typing out a comment on youtube and there's a long delay between you typing and the words appearing on screen.
As someone who dealt with this phone for a long time, I can say that even an iPhone 8 is miles better than this. If you haven’t already, just get a new phone. Pretty much anything would be better.
The Alcatel 1 and 1b are good basic cell phones.... instead of buying a top line phone I would suggest get a basic phone. Then take the xtra dough and buy a guitar or bike...and get new life experience.
I agree! Shame most people would their noses up at phones like this. They’d rather spend all day staring at a screen rather than going out in the real world and doing stuff!
For 500ish you can get a great guitar even less of a budget you can find something nice. Going into the shop and trying it out is better than online I think. 😊
I - We always tried Alcatel Brand for many years. Among many brands. Alcatel delivers, plus its affordable not so pricey. Quality Name and Quality Brand. Price range is great from pricey to not pricey to budget phone but not setting back Quality and functionality.
I need help, I can't seem to get rid of the buttons for navigation gestures!! I've looked everywhere in the settings and even tried using the search bar and still nothing. I'm beginning to think that it's not a thing on Android 10 go edition. 😕
I ordered this phone from WALMART in Canada and got a UK USB charger in the package. No North American charger. Can this phone be charged with any standard North American USB charger or is it only chargeable in UK?
I have nokia 2.2 which is so slow and laggy that it has become almost unusable YET it appears to have same chip set, ram etc as this acatel 1B. How can this be?
Likely because the Alcatel uses Andriod Go which cuts out all the bloatware and unneeded software making it very lite, the Nokia 2.2 uses android one which is a little more bloated. Try replacing apps on your Nokia with the Go or Lite editions of apps and remove apps you don't need/use it helps a lot. Keep it updated and clear your browser history and cookies that helps too
Hi, I bought in 2023 an Alcatel 1 (5033EP) and willing to transfer the pictures I took to my computer, there is no recognition of the cellphone at all. Could you tell me how to solve this issue, please ? I installed the SIM card and is not reconized by the cellphone. What is to be done, please ?
I have problems setting up caller ids’. When I get calls or text, they are showing as “unknown”. No phone numbers or names even the people on my contact list. Can anyone help me please? Thanks in advance.
I got a much more powerful Huawei P Smart Z, and I am actually considering selling it for one of these. Reason? Huawei is too big, too heavy, seems like I have a brick in my pocket. Second reasons are: Huawei linked to CCP, no bezels to hold the phone, a fragile brick. It is sad that only cheap phones have removable cover, screen below 6", no shit notch, and some bezels. It wouldn't hurt release models with those features instead of just copying the 6.5"/notch/no bezels trend to every damn phone.
Huawei linked to CCP. LOL. Another TV watcher who thinks NSA, GCHQ and FiveEyes are benign defenders of your democracy. Give me a break. Keep switching the remote bubba, thats a good little TV watcher.
@@keirmardy2267 So, because I don't like the CCP, it means I am all with the NSA, is that what you are saying? Huawei is linked to the CCP the way Google or Apple or other major tech in USA might be linked to the USA Government or the NSA. The question is, which country would I rather support? A one party tyrannical nation with several serious human right abuses, or a somewhat democratic nation with fewer human right abuses? If you sympathize with CCP ruled China then sure, get yourself a Huawei, whatever floats your boat.
@@mclarenf1gtr99 Oh let me guess.. uighur concentration camps? You clown that was US/ UK propaganda.

I think it is a shame that all these damn phones are like this nowadays. I like having an SD card slot, an audio Jack and a removable battery. I’m going to now on only buy phones that have these features. Even if it means I have to downgrade!

4/10 plutôt, même pour moi qui ne fais que des trucs basiques sur un smartphone, je le trouve nul: Met des plombes à se recharger, se décharge vite, le son est pourri....Y a que son prix qui soit bon dans tout ça ;(

Yes
I would give it an 8/10. This entry level phone should only be used for calling/texting, photo's/video's, and watching UA-cam, nothing else.
What about instagram
@@yungdieu yep
@@shanepatrick641 Got this phone and it's slow and laggy asf, not recommended unless used as a backup phone
@@yungdieu aw that’s a shame. I was hoping it’d at least be somewhat decent. Everything else is just too expensive 😕
@@shanepatrick641 It works don't get me wrong, but expect frequent lag and inability to run certain games

Sound quality is poor. Any ideas on how to improve it?
Very helpful. Thank you.
Thanks for the comment, I appreciate it
@@Gogetyours I bought the phone and am very happy with it. Thanks again.
@nilaydin3960 No problem, buddy, I should do more phone reviews in the future. That is if companies reach out. Things are dry at the moment.
Great video helps thanks
Glad it helped
My phone broke recently so I’m watching reviews but is the Alcatel 1 better or the 1B
The 1b is better
my one says i have data but every time i try to use it it doesn't work anyone know why?
