alcatel 3c - User Reviews

  • AVOID! Worse phone I have ever had, for £120 I paid I should have gotten a second hand phone as this is pants. Freezes constantly, apps do not respond. The customer service numbers DO NO CONNECT, the online updates lad error pages. POOP

  • I have one of these phone for month now and i've gotten several missed calls because the phone isn't ringing out loudly. The ringer volume is always at 100% but doesn't ring out loud. only if you are getting a WhatsApp call. Furthermore, its not 16GB storage but 10GB. What happen to the remaining 6GB?

  • Absolute rubbish! For the money this is a fantastic phone. What do you expect, the earth? It's exceptional value for money with a great screen and many more features than I would expect from a budget phone. At the end of the day you get what you pay for. If you are unhappy with the spec I suggest you should have thought about that before buying it. Most high spec modern smartphones cost hundreds so I think you are living on cloud nine. You get what you pay for and with this phone you are actually getting far bang for your buck then other budget phones of similar price/value. It does what it say on the tin and much more in my opinion. I've had mine for ages, never given me a moment of trouble, even when I dropped it in the bath! You will be very hard pressed to get value like this from a well known brand. Trust me - I know what I'm talking about. I review phones for a living. And before you ask, no I don't work for Alcatel and I don't get paid more if I leave a good review. If your phone has glitches then take it back. Even the best phones can have major glitches, which if not put right will be there forever.

  • Agree

  • I was sort of expecting that for a phone with just 1GB RAM to be honest.

  • The worst smartphone ever created on earth! I wouldn't recommend it to anyone. Not even dead! Practically this phone is a mockery, not even a week since I bought it and I had so many problems. Thinking it was momentary, but in less than three months it got worse. I can't install anything, It reset the sd memory card, I can't keep video, take pictures and the most absurd thing of all... Chrome takes me 5GB. I say, but from what world is it that Chrome takes such an amount of memory without a logical sense...!? Which then should have a total of 16GB, so why do I find a total of 10? We are practically in 2019 and there are still problems like these, no comments.

  • Good phone , I use it now and it's not slow and I installed all my apps . No prob

  • For the price of £99 its worth it, not a penny more but its worth £99 all day

  • very good device, it is quick enough for his price

  • Worst mobile phone I ever used, too slow, freezes all the time, the camera is worst than a 10 year old phone like a 2008 Blackberry bold 9000/Nokia N96, even to make or end a phone call or just to search a contact will take its time, for the price you be 10 times better buying a BQ U Lite. Waste of Money buying this phone.

  • This is the worst phone I have ever owned in my life ,this should not be on the market all it takes hours to charge it doesn't keep battery for long when you talk the volume people hardy hear you

  • Apparently it's a good phone, but in Mexico, Telcel sells a not compatible version with LTE, so, I would think it twice before buy it.

  • I really want this phone. In Mexico Telcel carrier is selling this phone at a great price of $140, the reason I like this phone is because it has same body as the alcatel 3v but is less expensive, but both have same bezel less design that looks modern for 2018.

  • A not so smart smartphone thats being currently flogged to death on a UK not so 'ideal' shopping channel by a multitude of presenters....oh dear...must be hard to move this one! Yep, I like a cheap Android, so I got me a Doogee! Looking at the next Doogee to upgrade that has double ram and 4 times internal memory of this Alcatel 3c....for a tenner more....hmmm!

  • 130 eur? wtf?!

  • this phone some how uses data even when the data is turned off and also when the wifi is turned off - how i dont know, cannot even reset it when i turn it back on it just comes up with google speak option and cannot get rid of it, also slow to respond when using touch screen dont buy this phone

  • Alcatel...you should stop manufacturing phones before you know your target market segment. Clearly...even from the opinions that are shown here...Alcatel have manufactured a product that will accomplish minimal sales

  • 2018 and still on a 1GB RAM and 8MP Camera! WTF!

  • A non user-replacable battery? I think I'll pass.

  • Weak

  • Good phone!

  • This phone with this specs i won't giving it more than 40$ even if 50$ i won't think of it . 1 gb ram 16 rom ... 1.3 and quad-core which is disappeared already. You know what i still have my old LG G2 from 2013 but at least 2.3 snapdragon 13 camera full HD+ 2 gb ram and he is still rocking in 2018 like charm .... and u coming to release this joke in 2018 ..... gsmarena better to drop it down if have dislike icon i will give a huge dislike . 👎👎👎&#128­078;👎👎

  • 1GB ram and A7 core in 2018?! Good luck to them...

  • 2008 phone in 2018! Why even bother? Is there a market for 10 yr old phones?

  • Is 170 bucks a good price for a phone? Yeah. But this is a pretty bad phone...

  • The 1GB of RAM is a tad concerning but besides this it is a good entry level device, one i might buy in the future if any of alcatels other new ones are not worth it

  • i dont mind soc but ram should be at least 2gb, aaat least 2gb. this is 2018 phone

  • of course is a cellphone duh isn't it obvious !?

  • WOW, it's really A Cellphone! 100 U is just too expansive for A CELLPHONE!

  • This SoC is just hot trash, what a pittyfull phone

  • OMG, 2018 6" 16GB 1GB Ram? $100+ bucks? Ur joking right!!!

  • 1GB of RAM in 2018, wow...

  • 2018 amd 1gb ram....smdh..make $20 maybe il get one for my dtr

  • Had they shrunk the screen size and bumped the RAM, it could have been a really good entry level phone for the ~100EUR

  • This is so funny. Can't stop laughing. With a lamephone like that, 1GB of RAM and a crappy quad core MT, you don't need a fingerprint scanner since no one will ever want to steal It!

  • If the price is gonna be 100 euro then it will be a good deal, 6 inch phone for 100 euro.

  • Alcatel new flagship? Even an Entry level phone should have 2gb ram and 32 gb diskspace.

  • 1gb ram? Hahahaha, no!

  • only 1 gb ram?

  • So much golden. Really?
