Alcatel 3X (2019)

The Alcatel 3X (2019) is a modern designed smartphone with equally modern functions. Especially in the camera area, it does not disappoint. This is due to the triple camera on the back, each with its own task. To close the deal, Alcatel gives the 3x 2019 an affordable price tag.

Three-way camera with night video

We don't often see a triple camera for such a low price tag. This camera system also has something to offer. For example, the most important camera has 16 megapixels and is equipped with artificial intelligence to choose the best settings. There is also an 8 megapixel camera with wide-angle lens that has an angle of view of 118 degrees. Ideal for landscapes or in the city. The last camera is a 5 megapixel camera and helps the other cameras to see depth. Ideal for portraits where you want to make the background extra blurry. Photos stand out just that little bit more. Also in the evening the 3X (2019) stands his ground. It has noise reduction for sharp pictures even when there is little light. This even works with video.

Big screen, not so high pixel density

Taking pictures is one thing, looking at them again is something else. At the front of the Alcatel 3X (2019) we find a 6.52 inch screen which is quite large. So it is no small phone. Alcatel uses a somewhat disappointing HD+ resolution which makes images not that sharp. The screen is nicely rounded at the edges. We also find the rounded glass on the rear, which makes it comfortable to hold and gives it a premium feel. On the back is also where you can find the fingerprint scanner. If you prefer to unlock your phone with your face, there's Face Key; Alcatel's own name for face unlocking.

Google Assistant under a button

Open the 3X 2019 and we find a MediaTek processor with 4 GB of RAM memory and 64 GB of storage. The latter can be expanded to a maximum of 128 GB via a memory card. Add your own memory then there is also space left to insert a 2nd SIM card. The battery capacity comes out at 4000 mAh which is neat but also average. There is no fast charging; full charging takes 2 hours and 42 minutes. The housing is not waterproof so cautious around water. Also worth mentioning is the special button with which you can summon the Google Assistant. You can ask questions or give commands to operate your lights.
