alcatel Flash 2 - User Reviews

  • Hi guys will a 5v/2.4A charger work well with this? my original charger broke.

  • how to downgrade?

  • You are right, it was the micro-usb of the phone. I cleaned the connector and it works with other usb cables except the original one.

  • Time to replace the micro usb slot. Even though it is charging when connected, other lines for data transfer could be broken; data lines are also in that usb connector, not only the power lines.

  • I have already come up w/ system upgrade but after that my front canera dissappered how can i bring it back.. So upsetting.

  • mine is the same problem. any fix?

  • Make sure the phone is unlocked from homescreen

  • Been using this phone since 2015 up to now. Good camera for its price.. didn't experience mush lag as long as you don't full load your memory, however this heat up when charging besides that not much problem

  • Hi annoD, did you fix the problem? if yes, how? Recently, the pc not detects the phone when connected but shows charging only(from the battery icon) and no pull down connecting options (charging, mtp...). I have tried different usb cables, diff phone with the same cables on diff pc, only my phone not detected. I am still using lollipop 5.0 and is fine, a little bit lagging and battery shorter, though. Could it be software issue? I am trying to save the photos and tel list if possible. If anyone reading this has suggestions, pls do share.

  • Bought this when it first came out in Lazada. Great phone, nice camera. Had this phone for 3 years, sadly it got wet and I have to buy a new one. Honestly, I'm a having a hard time looking for a better phone with an affordable price like Alcatel Flash 2.

  • I bought this at the end of 2015 and until now there is no problem. Very love this phone!

  • I can't transfer photos/data from my phone to the desktop PC now with micro usb cable. It can be charged battery power from the wall plug and even from the PC (the indicative light shows). Last time transferred was more then 2 months ago. My phone is 2 yrs old. Any suggestion?

  • Just restart your phone every time it occurs. I've been using AF2 for 2 years now and experienced the same issue (always) just deal with it.

  • Af2 user since December2015. No other issues except for the speaker. I love my af2 but i think it's time to let go and start anew. Time to hand it over and Upgrade 😊

  • anyone can uninstall application which have not been used again?

  • I can't uninstall application which I have not been use again...every try to uninstall it, it will restart the phone before it finish uninstall the app...anyone have the same problem?

  • I have EXACTLY this problem. Duno what to do.

  • Dear All, Very few people in our country (Bangladesh) uses Alcatel Smartphones, I'm one of the fewer having issues with my Alcatel Flash 2 (7049D). I bought the phone as an uncommon choice and started using it with pride. But then starts this Overheating message and sudden power drain follows. Sometimes when I'm browsing Youtube/ Playing games it shows a battery over temperature message even if the phone is not hot at all, then the Battery % Starts counting down and the phone shuts down without any warning in a minute. Sometimes I see this message and restart the phone immediately to avoid an unwanted shut down. This restart has some different results in different instances: 1. Sometimes the phone doesn't turn on after showing the flash logo (seems not enough power to turn on). In this case if the phone is connected to a charger, it turns on with a pathetic long app loading period. During this app loading, the phone is enormously hot. 2. Sometimes it turns on with less than 15% charge (battery saver on) 3. Sometimes it turns on with same battery % where I restarted the phone. In all above 3 cases, while charging, the phone starts charging in normal speed, then after a certain period it starts charging in dramatic fast speed (1%in each 2-4 seconds). the battery shows fully charged within 1-5 minutes after fast charging starts. Can you suggest any solution to the problem? This phone is very unreliable to use.

  • this happens to me too, you just have to restart the phone once or twice while charger plugged in to solve the problem (each time it occurs)

  • I used this phone over than 1 year ago and the main problem was overheat. I replace the battery on last March (using its original) and now I facing the same problem.

  • You can press power botton+volume down at the sametime

  • Because it needs to shutdown the background apps that cause overheating

  • Hi, can somebody tell me how to do screen shot on this phone??? Thanks allot!!!

  • Can you give me the link please. Ty

  • Mine too. can someone please give us some advice :(

  • Switch charger micro usb cable or maybe your phone usb connector is malfunctioning...

  • Did u install it yourself and is it relatively easy to do that?

  • If you are from the Philippines, you may buy a battery for it at shopee. I just got mine yesterday and installed it today. No more issues.

  • you can go to the near alcatel service center they could actually change the battery for you they will just charge you for the battery and the labor, it will cost you more than 1000 pesos but not greater than 1,500 i guess. Sorry I forget the exact cost. If you want to ask the amount how much it is you, you can contact them through telephone or email. - list of alcatel service center in the Philippines

  • How can i find the marshmallow update? Cant find it in the Official site. Anyone can assist?

  • my flash2 temperature is always high, which making my phone too hot when i turn on the Bluetooth and the internet connection

  • Same here. I experienced the same way too. I used it for 1 year and 6 months

  • The battery is malfunctioning. For example, I have 78% in battery but it will suddenly shut down and when I open it, the percentage of the battery is 1% already. How can it be? How can I replace it? It's non removable.

  • Is the battery of Alcatel Flash 2 is attached? You mean, we can't detach it? I am planning to buy this one. Thanks for informing.

  • Can you make a upgrade battery for flash 2 like 4100 mah

  • after 1 1/2 yrs since i bought my alcatel flash 2, i am now having battery issue. 1. charging is super slow that even after 10 hrs of charging, it only had 34% charge. 2. it drains power easily. i temporarily disconnected the charger today to make a 1 min call, from 34%, it went down to 28% power! 3. im getting overheating issues despite of using it texting only. if only its battery was detachable, i could've replaced the battery as soon it started giving me issues.i appreciate any advice i can get on my issues w/ alcatel flash 2. thanks a lot! -mykes

  • you may switch off the 'auto wake' features, which bothering you in your phone.

  • How to my Alcatel flash 2 convert in volte

  • i can't remember the site.. but you can search it.. my suggestion is do not upgrade it to Marshmallow.. you will regret it.. LOL! Lollipop is much better for this device.. that's why i downgraded it.. it's fine now

  • I have been using flash 2 for 1.5 years. It served me very well. But from last 2-3months, i can't keep my newest pictures captured by phone, or any newest downloaded files. Saw some files in file manager size of 0byte. Another problem is, my phone restarts by itself all on a sudden, and booting up saying optimizing android app 0-124apps.it takes time and battery drains to 4-5%. Another one is,it gives me warning like battery temperature is high, snooze or dismiss. I dismiss all the time. What to do??? I can't keep any new files or images. All goes off by 2-3days later. Need an urgent solution.

  • How did you upgrade that? I need to do that too. I have been using this for 1.5 years. Give me some YouTube or web link how to do it. Or just simply instruct me here.

  • My phone was automatically restarted many times , I am very affected this situation please tell me any solution? My cell No : 99 44 00 10 81 Tamil Nadu Villupuram dietrict

  • Perhaps this is delayed to answer your question, but it's good to know; li -ion batteries work better when you are not used to the end 0%,but most to 25 % and then put the battery to charge75-90% , ( why?) lithium-ion batteries have a rated lifetime of somewhere between 500 and 1,500 charge cycles. so if it reach 100% or less then 25% then it lose 1 cycle.(the user runs it down all the way to zero before recharging) can degrade to 70 percent of its original capacity in 300-500 cycles With a DoD of 25 percent, where the user plugs it in as soon as it gets to 75 percent remain, that same battery could be charged up to 2,500 times before it starts to seriously degrade. Charge a little bit whenever you can. Lithium-ion batteries don't respond well to being charged all the way up and then run all the way down. They take much better to little bits of charge here and there. What's far more dangerous to a battery's well-being is heat. Lithium-ion batteries despise heat. Battery consumption depends on the applications you have installed on the phone and working in the background even if you do not use the phone. such as; facebook, instagram, messenger so if you delete these apps and use them through the browser , thus saving up to 40% of the battery (day)life , the display put on minimum brightness and wi - fi, bluetooth,3G use it when you need.

  • I suggest that you uninstall all of your phone apps. Apps usually drain your a battery even if you are not launching them. Unless you caught a virus. Or your phone is busted or a reject

  • The cameras phone automatically launches multiple shots when the lower right side button is held down. I suggest that you should not put your phone on the back pocket of your jeans while you are walking or siting down

  • I had been compared this phone to my new zenfone max 3. You know what? Flash 2 is better specially in playing NBA2K16. Just never ever update your phone to marshmallow.

  • How to upadate

  • This phone is the perfect android phone for basic use, chatting, and social media. the downside I see is the GPS feature. Cannot be used properly for navigation

  • no

  • Check the setting for the sound for media

  • no sound when playing videos

  • settings-> display-> lock screen notification, mark this option to show notifications on lock screen.

  • My phone doesn't light up when I receive notifications. What should I do? Because the lock button will overused when I used all the time to light up my phone.

  • We have the same problem.. what i have done was whenever my unit turns to black after setting its brightness and the phone automatically turns to black, make sure the you lock your phone first by pressing the lock button at the side of the unit. you will know that its already unlocked when you see the light of the return and tab lit at the bottom part of your phone then just slide down your finger on the screen twice then point your finger exactly where the brightness setting is then adjust the brightness. note: i have memorize where the brightness setting is before doing it because obviously you have to do it in pitch black screen. I also notice that this problem only occurs when you lower the level setting of the brightness. So avoid constant brightness readjusting. Hope this help... Peace.....

  • boost battery with greenify app.

  • I have used the Alcatel Flash 2 for few months, from Lollipop at the first bought and now has been upgraded to Marshmallow 6.0. Everything works properly and really satisfied for its performance. Don't really know if there will be another upgrade to Nougat Android 7.0 ~ hope it will!

  • Please help. My alcatel flash2 screen does not sleep automatically even i've set screen time out at 15 sec. I can only turn off screen thru power button. Anyone who knows how to fix this? It's draining my battery. Please. Thanks!

  • Amen... I couldn't agree more... Alcatel phones is so underrated...

  • the best smartphone i ever had to-date...much better than my samsung and nokia...

  • I updated it to its latest system version and the switch button for front cam disappeared. Its latest update was focused on the modification of its camera. Pls do something about this alcatel.

  • I think it is a paper ..

  • Bought this phone and it did pass all my expectation, i loved it. Nothing bad to say. I preffer this phone over samsung.

  • Question: What is the glass screen material? Is it Gorilla glass?

  • There is no time indicated on the topmost of my phone even if I have a sim card on it. It's been hours past the 72-hour period but I still cannot get past the "Verify your account" loop.

  • 1. Check the time/date to your phone is it ok, this may be the reason why it does not work. but if still does not work then; Check the time/date stamp on that email. That is when the clock started. If you continue to "play" with your device, you may wind up resetting that timer, so best you just turn it off and set it aside for three days (72 hours minimum). After 72 hours and one minute, you should be able to regain access to your phone. Please note - and this is important - NO FACTORY RESET IS REQUIRED

  • HELP needed. I tapped "Erase All Data on SD card" and my phone rebooted. When it opened, it says "Verify Gmail Account" and I have to put the "Gmail Account Synced in the Phone Previously' and I did just exactly as it said (the gmail account is valid, I even opened it on my pc). But after 'Checking Info' it went back to "Verify Gmail Account". I tried over and over again (input gmail and password) but it always goes back to "Verify Gmail Account". What do I do? I don't want to Hard Reset it since it will erase all data on my phone (internal storage). I only wanted to erase the data on the SD card. Thank you for answering my question.

  • If the phone is shut down until the system update , then the system is confused, by my opinion the best to do'' factory data reset'' to return the system to its original state so later when prompted to update you remember the battery need fully charged or put on the charger for that mistake does not happen again

  • hi can you please help me. my alacatel flash was hang when updated the system...its always turn like that..system upgrading all the time until the batteries run out.. tnx...

  • Occasionally I also facing GPS location problem. Sometimes it won't display the location.

  • I too have this phone. The only problem with this is, the ringer volume is very very poor. I am not able to over come this problem. Is anyone can suggest me.

  • I have this one, okay camera. But tye problem is that it heats up constantl (50+°C) making it not comfortable to use... Can this problem be fixed?

  • I got this phone from Lazada 1.5 months ago and it seems fine though its camera wasnt impressed. I used it as a basic contact device. However, it sudden totally dead, cant switch on and no indication when charging. Have to send to the only service center for repair. It will takes 2-7 days and all contacts will be lost. I am doubt of its quality and from now on wouldn't take a look on Alcatel/tcl phone anymore in the future.

  • Hi, does anyone know if this phone is surround VR capable?

  • Hello, does anyone know if this Phone is surround VR capable?

  • Alcatel or TCL Corp. is one of the pioneers and one of the biggest Brand in mobile/smartphone technology industry since 2004 as a joint venture of Alcatel-Lucent of France and TCL Corp.. I love how they create their product going for perfection and as long as the brand is concerned they are justified as good as their product regarding on their high standards. I am one of the user of Alcatel Flash 2 and i find it one of the best in mid- ranged smartphone, smoothness and fast in one great looking phone (Classy).. hope to see more great smartphones from Alcatel, more power :)

  • yes you can play pokemon go altough it has no gyro you can still use AR mode because flash 2 has g-sensor

  • planning to get this device. is it playable with pokemon go? i read that it has no gyro?

  • You probably live in some crappy rural town because the GPS works fine to me.

  • This phone sucks alot in terms of gps. Gps is not accurate and it does not lock in your actual location. So your character in pokemon go keeps on teleporting from one location to another even if you are just on your bed

  • Guys why I haven't received android 6.0 marshmallow via Ota??

  • Yah I once used the Alcatel flash 2 before when I purchased it from lazada.. The display isn't great at all.. Contrast ratio is low.. Hopefully the Alcatel flash 3 which is rumor to come with a mediatek x30 has a better display

  • Alcatel Flash 2 needs more automated camera focus when compared with Idol X Plus. The display also needs for better picture vision as it used to be in Idol X Plus. Other than that its okay, but not like my favorite Idol X Plus.

  • waiting for the alcatel flash 3!! wanted asus but overpriced so flash 3 is my choice

  • is Alcatel Flash 2 has G-Sensor?

  • Good design, mediocre quality especially it's camera

  • i have update my maps & waze but still not detecting properly.

  • do not let go tow then 25% and do not charge up to 100% stay on 90% and unplug here read ;

  • @Rezaul Khan, you should be able to fix the battery problem by letting the battery totally discharge before you charge it. You may have to do this a few times until it totally adjusts back to 100%. This is what typically happens when you don't let your phone totally discharge often. To keep everything going good, totally discharge you cell once a month then fully charge it. This usually works but if this doesn't work you may need a new battery.

  • I face a things about alcatel flash 2. when i charging my phn, indicator light off after completing charge 90%. and last 10% charge take huge time to complete. I dont know it is a problem ar something ? Any one face it ??? What is the solution. I used this phone only 7 days.

  • for you to know whether the battery charger is correct when charging should be warm, be sure the USB cable is broken , so try the other USB cable, and do not ever emptying the battery below 25 % so put the battery and charging up to 95 % when you able here and there always supplement the battery because it is good for Li - Ion Batteries work best at 40-80 % and when it reaches 100 % or is not empty less than 25 % , then the charge cycle ( 500-1500 ) does not count , which means extends life of this procedure

  • been using this phone for 2 days and I must say for the price I'm pretty impressed by the performance of this phone, the fingerprint scanner is amazingly fast, the camera is really good too, the screen is big and crisp, overall I'm pretty satisfied with this product, the only downside is it stutters a little with graphically intensive games and it doesn't come with screen protector and earphones,for the price this phone is definitely a steal, no other brands can beat this at the moment in terms of price/performance.

  • precisely, so that I read that li- ion batteries work better when you are not wasting below 25 % and do not want to go to the end of charging , as do best when kept at 70\80 % to what each battery has a charging cycle (500-1500 depending on the manufacturer ) if not reach 100 % , then it does not count. here are the links and read

  • Flash 2! What do you mean by your comment -"the same happened to me , but when I read that the battery should not be discharged below 25 % and to the full below 100 % means 25 % - 95 %, and now my battery last longer"?????? -Do you mean to say that the phone should not have a battery percentage of less that 25% before you charge it again????.....Please reply back

  • Got my alcatel flash 2 today. The battery is terrible. When it reaches 20% it becomes a ticking time bomb. It drains 1%/sec meaning when when it reaches 20% it takes only 20 seconds for it to fully drain the battery. My cherry mobile did a better job than this phon's battery.

  • i know this phone is cheap but it performs beyond my expectation. i love its simplicity and its fast performance. i don't know to other's unit but this has to be my best phone. i've been using it for 5 months and i've dropped it several times (i know. clumsy of me)lol there are no serious problem that happened. aside from occasional lagging that happens thrice a month i think. maybe because i put so much applications that it can't work properly for a time. just a few reminders: don't put unecessary applications.turn of your phone for a five minutes or more for the phone to refresh.never ever charge over night. keep your phone on a safe place. and lastly. do. not. be. too. attached. on. your. phone. love your family and friends more than your gadgets. smile always!

  • sir try looking at your >settings>Accessability then check the bot of auto rotation/auto rotate. notice your auto rotate icon on your status bar quick panel comes back. this is the way to return the quick panel of your auto rotate

  • settings- more- mobile data networks connection and mark your operator then back to 3G service and enable 3G service , but in 'acces point names' may need to adapt to postpaid or prepaid , so best to seek instructions from your mobile operator to activate this service for me on this way ; in "acces point names" , then the name ( the name of your operator entries , for example, *ONE Internet* then in APN internet. and APN mark to enable.

  • H + means good signal for mobile internet

  • If alcatel only uses 3G instead of H+, why does it have H+ in the manual?

  • i'm not scaring anybody, i'm just saying i'm so unlucky to have a defective unit. and there's no way it will be fixed because Alcatel has no dedicated service center. they only have third party crapy service centers. unlike iphone, samsung, sony etc... anyways, i learned my lesson in buying cheap phones. so to those who experienced no issues with this phone. i congratulate you!

  • Dont scare us,we know your just a team from other company

  • can somebody give me a review of the new lens kit alcatel has launch for the flash 2 ..is it good??

  • phone is awesome! but after only 3 months of use, it died suddenly. i guess i've got what i paid for. poor me.... how i wish Alcatel has a good service center in town. i'll avoid Alcatel phones in the future...

  • i had been using alcatel flash 2 since 6 months , it was little issue with the speaker sound but now there is big issue of no heating sensor leads to overheat and stop functions . After the phone hangs you can not use any of the app ( app will not open) when you try to reboot or shutdown it will not start until it became cool (takes minimum 15 o 20 minutes and it repeats twice a day. sometimes camera does not support the flash at all. if any one has this solution please post .

  • Good phone, easy to use, camera's great. Only issue is it tends to always hang for a few seconds when viewing pic in watsapp

  • maybe your to old to have this phone,,.. try to use nokia3210...

  • I also have overheating issue at about 45 degrees celsius and also when i installed the app CPU X it says the camera is 23.8 MP also when I installed DSLR app for camera also 24MP...

  • the alcatel flash 2 is actually one of the best budget phones today!! its just underrated compared to xiaomi,meizu or lenovo

  • How can i update my flash 2 into marshmallow?

  • Using this phone for 4mnths, and its an absolute stunner. The camera, the speaker, music quality, handling, display - simply the best in its class

  • - If you like a phone at 5" and not expensive, this is not a bad selection. - 3G/4G network works perfectly with all the PH carriers because it's made for SEA market. - 3000mah battery works quite well, me as a heavy user, a full days usage is no problem. - Front Camera is auto focus, which I think bring better quality compare with other 5MP front camera. - Flash light works good, 2 different modes, flash mode and torch mode; I like using torch mode though, at night, it lights up your face and the background building light will be kept. But you need to make your hand steady when taking selfie at night. - It's android stock UI, there are no non-sense applications inside, which I like the best, it provide almost 12GB free memory out of the 16GB, while other phone in the market, for example, Moto, there is only 9GB left when you got the phone. Overall, the phone works quite smooth. Well, a bit disappointing is the camera effect is not as great as it claims on it's official website...but I think it's quite acceptable as long as you are not comparing it with iPhone and Galaxy... Hope the opinions help.

  • Hi, Jowa: I believe you plug in your speaker to the 3.5mm audio jack right? Then, the phone will recognize your speaker as a "headset", and to avoid sudden burst noise which might damage your speakers, the phone will pause the music first, and after you plug in, you can play from the stopped point. Hope it's helpful.

  • I also encountered your concern, and still now i am searching for a solution. Everytime i plug my af2 to speaker the music will stop. Anyone can answer this problem?

  • i also had issues with my camera when i updated the software..the switch to front cam button disappeared..if you want a quick fix, open your cam app and go to cam settings and select restore to default..a problem with this is that you're gonna have to do this everytime you open your cam..what i did to fix it for good is i backed up my data and apps and restored my phone to default factory settings..fixed the problem like a charm.

  • this is not a good phone, not a user friendly

  • One of the following might be the reason of the bad photo that you speak of: - poor lighting, consider using the LED light or the flash. - bad angle. - shaky hands? - incorrect usage of camera functions? It will help to educate yourself on proper camera usage :) I have been using the unit for four months now and I must say that it exceeds my expectation. Rating: 9/10 ..because of a "not good" speaker and a really bad headset that comes with it.

  • How do you use your phone? Online gaming etc.? For how long? Tell us more. But if you browse thru this page - it is either you are a heavy-user, you do not use your phone properly, or your unit is defective.

  • flash 2 camera is bad front & back . any option hv wch i missing pls help if hv

  • [Quick Capture] is still ok, even after the update. Check you camera setting, either it is turned off or you broke the side button.

  • By "busted" what do you mean? FYI, neither this phone's built-in speakers nor the headsets included in the package IS GOOD. Invest on a good headset instead.

  • Tal, system update to v3.6 fixes this issue. Or you may want to browse thru this forum. A lot of Alcatel Flash 2 users (including myself) already posted solution about the "missing" front camera icon.

  • How to turn on data connection on alcatel flash 2

  • hey. i need your help. why is it that my front camera isnt the same as it capture after i updated my phone flash 2.., before its so clear but now its not good already.. im so upset ..

  • so what if you have marshmallow update it wont get more horse power

  • People should realize that this is a really cheap phone, if you guys want frequent updates get an expensive flagship phone or even better a Nexus/Android One, Motorola is good with updates too I believe

  • System is still up to date...Is marshmallow rolling out on the Flash 2?

  • Try this, I already tried it and it works.

  • screen protector could be a probl,4 back button settings, sound , chek 4 , music , video , games , and other media,

  • The back button somethimes not working and when I play music I didn't hear anything even Im not using headphones.

  • How's the GPS on this device? Does it take too long to lock?

  • you 're absolutely right and , I really do not understand it to such excellent performance, and you are doing ROOT the phone, you are not aware of this program ( kingo root or otherwise) is made from Chinese hackers that allows the program to install hidden software that allows them to corrupting phone and later on become 'worthless brick' and you are forced to buy a new phone , if you do this then you are a new victim

  • I'm sure you have rooted your phone. Unroot won't change anything. You have to factory reset in order to upgrade it.

  • what do you want????

  • Correction on my statement: If your using same internet provider both data and WiFi and still have low connection then your phone have a problem on data connection, try to change your sim the same as your WiFi internet provider.

  • How to save battery: Use it on your own risk. *Display brightness, adjust to 10% or you my use adaptive brightness. *Use earphone while playing games or watching a video *Avoid using Data when playing games, use WiFi, this will save you more battery *Turn off Data, location(GPS) & Bluetooth,and all unwanted apps, when not in use. *Make sure all tabs and apps are turn off when not in use. -tap CLICK CLEAR *Note do not use other apps claiming that they SAVE more batteries and clean more space in your RAM. It may only waste more of your battery consumption ONLY USE THE DEFAULT ALCATEL "click clear" FOR CLEARING OR CLOSING YOUR APP. * Set the sleep after 1 minute of inactivity or lower * If you have a WiFi and you want to save more battery while playing your favorite online android games, here are some tips. - Turn on your airplane mode - then turn on your WiFi . In this method all other apps will be disabled. Only the app you open will consume battery. Note if you do these you cant send/ receive any messages or accept calls from your mobile. unless you use WiFi base app like Messenger. Hope this may Help >_

  • note: do not turn on your wifi and data at the same time. you might not get a stable connection.

  • Hi aia, alcatel dont have H+ because alcatel name it 3G. check the upper part of your mobile icon, If idicates 3G together with a sml icon 3G (3G3G) then you have a good data connection. See explanation below: H+ stands for HSDPA (High-Speed Downlink Packet Access ) .Its Enhanced 3G or referred sometimes as 3G+ it supports 100 Mbps but not many cellular connections provide that speeds. 3G is the third generation of mobile communications technology.

  • are you using your original alcatel charger ? If yes, This tip might help you. First check your mobile after 10 to 20 minutes of charging, If it does not charge, remove the charger from the phone. Reboot your phone. Then charge it again. Check again after 10 to 20 minutes if it gains charge then your problem is solve. Do not use other charger it may not charge.

  • are you using same internet provider both data and WiFi? if yes then your phone have a problem, If you are using data with a different internet provider then try to change your sim with the same provider as your WiFi.

  • Same here.. well, it still works albeit it's not as loud as it originally was.. HELP!

However, once you closed the camera app and restart it, cycle begins.(front cam not showing again) and i'll do it again.

  • It has been only four months after the release date. What do you need the new battery for? *just curious*

  • I am afraid I have to agree with @menobody. So far, I have not experience any problem since the latest system update. Anyway, what do you mean by better ram management and stability fixing?

  • Would you like me to share a photo of the manual stating that it is a [Menu] button? Re-read the manual, Mate. You do not impress anyone here with your bullying.

  • since the Alcatel flash plus isn't getting lollipop 5.1 update even after being promise by alcatel then they may be no chance for my flash 2 to get masmallow update!! alcatel is pretty bad when it comes to updates compared to other Chinese companies

  • Hey dude, use media transfer mode! Internal storage is hidden from Mass storage mode because of stability reasons.

  • soon to have a flash 2.. whats makes it unique to other? best apps for flash 2?

  • you need to put SD card

  • i cant play music

  • Everything is good. I just can't read my phone storage when I connect it with a usb cable to my laptop. Any method on how to check phone storage for easy file transfer?

  • Hi.. where can I a new battery for my Alcatel Flash 2? I badly needed ASAP. Please help me.

  • pull down on the screen and it open the menu with more icons ( if not open then push in the top right corner of the display to open ) see data connection icon and push to- on / off

  • this has nothing got to do with managing a phone properly or not!!! it's just need update to solve the issue regarding the ram and stability like certain app crash when I'm using it (Facebook, viber)...its common every manufacturer update their product to improve customer certification.

  • look harder...

  • That's what you get for being too lazy to read the manual and fyi there is no "menu" button. That rightmost "box" button or key is a "recents" key which you use to see your recently used apps and close them if you want to by swiping or pressing x.

  • I bet even a 1 million megapixel camera will take bad pictures with you at the controls...

  • download skype or viber or other voip app and don't be lazy, read and follow instructions...

  • don't be lazy read the manual ffs...

  • Have you tried managing your apps and using the android phone the right way?

  • of course it is in settings> storage > set default save to sd card

  • You accidentally turned it off, I did this also before but I read the manual and found out why. I can't remember exactly how I did it so you must figure it out yourself, don't be lazy...

  • I'm been experiencing the same thing for months and that's why I'm using 3rd party camera app for that reason...alcatel should update the camera app to solve the problem which they are not doing

  • I beleive it will be getting the update soon. Visit

  • Hi Guys. Have you experience yet not seeing the front cam button on your camera app? Mine has been like this for 2 days already and I can't seem to find what went wrong or did I accidentally turned it off or something. Thanks

  • Hi. Is there any way to let the Camera app save to the SD card?

  • I'm disappointed with alcatel for the lack of updates this phone is getting, since getting this phone late October Last year only 1 update I have received and that's all.. the phone needs better ram management and stability fixing :(

  • yes.

  • How can I turn off mobile data.. I can't find it..

  • How can I disabled the 3g?

  • Does the phone have video calling facility

  • guys will the Alcatel flash 2 be updated to android masmallow 6.0??

  • hi. just connect your phone in pc. i already encountered that problem. its just because you literally adjust the cp brightness without your mind. just connect it and adjust it immediately.

  • You might want to do Factory reset. I experienced the same after the system update.

  • Camera/picture quality actually matches high end phones, both front and rear camera. I am using the default settings and/or usually taking photo's on HDR and Super Fine mode.

  • Thanks, will try this &#9786;

  • @alcatel I think @Vin is correct (?). It has been two weeks now and the "menu" button only show active/running apps when tapped, at least for me. Take note, I did a factory reset after a week of observation/usage to fix the problem with the front camera. Any suggestion?

  • @Vin that is what I think so. But the manual and other users claim otherwise.

  • @alcatel I think @Vin is correct (?). It has been two weeks now and the "menu" button only show active/running apps when tapped, at least for me. Take note, I did a factory reset after a week of observation/usage to fix the problem with the front camera. Any suggestion?

  • I'm been using it for 4 months and the camera quality is above average or good

  • I just bought it and updated the phone, but the camera quality is way bad. Is it due to the update?, or the camera is cheap?

  • The camera quality is very bad. Am I right?, or there is some setting I don't know to make it better. For me, it is not 13 MP at all

  • are u using ori charger?

  • Is it just my phone or is the screen less responsive when charging the phone? The screen becomes normal after plugging out the charger tho.

  • menu button it is a soft key in low right corner on display ( 3 buttons , < back , o home , # menu)

  • Because its not a menu button.

  • cann't make a direct video call without the help of 3rd party software.... :(

  • Used musixmatch..download from Google play...this is much better than other..for me

  • I think this is what you need ; go to PlayStore , Equalizer music player booster read its features , and install

  • @alcatel I see, thanks for the information. I thought you were referring to Google Play Music as there is no other pre-installed music player in the device. Anyway, can you recommend a music player application for myself?

  • don't work for playing music thru Google Play Music only when use music player

  • Hi, I think I have the same problem. When playing music thru Google Play Music, [Menu] key doesn't open any menu/options - in this case the equalizer. [Menu] key only shows other running applications.

  • hi asking for ur help..i just updated my phone but after update it took my camera to be blur..what shld i do to make it clearer just d way i brought it..

  • there is. pull down your notification area then below the wifi icon you'll see your network (e.g. smart, globe, etc) just click on that and you'll see the activation button for your mobile data

  • Please help, i can't find mobile data :'(

  • Hi, is there a mobile data for this phone? I really can't find it. :'(

  • So far this phone is good but one thing made me to dislike this phone is the front cam. Mostly in taking vid, even the back cam. After taking one and when watched, the voice on the vid is late and its like u r in the matrix.

  • i have this phone for 5 months now everything is smooth. the problem is in the user when you try to root ang flash custom roms and yout dont have antivirus installed. i dont have eny problem at all with this phone lte, wifi bluetooth, works damn fine even the cam and battery is superb just dont do anything silly with your phone if your just watching youtube how to root and finding ways how to root and flash custom roms. for those who have error on sd card try to buy a new sd i thinks it has virus in your sd card.

  • An I really wanted to help, but if - factory data reset- does not help then it is probably trojan malware, and perhaps it is best to go to an authorized service

  • did you read Try out when listening to a song , press the menu button below the display ( 3 buttons -soft key ,back , home and menu) press menu, and select sound effects , you should display the equalizer

  • Hardware update, no root or flash

  • Have you got a firmware update or you did 'flash' or 'root'

  • I tried but it still didn't work

  • Have you got a firmware update or you did 'flash' or 'root' If the firmware update than you can do factory data reset this phone back to the factory of setup but erases all data as pictures and songs etc unmount the SD card before phone reset hold down the volume up key and press power key at same time until the screen lights up to boot the device with recovery mode , and then press volume up\down to select the wipe data factory reset.

  • What's about volume of song in headphone

  • I don't see any sound effet option. Where do I find it.

  • thanks it worked

  • it is because the SD card you have already installed some apps or you move to SD card and now there are data from these applications they create confusion therefore Format SD card for that you can re- use it, you have this possibility in the phone - settings- storage - format sd card

  • It all started after i update the phone, is there any way that i can make the phone back to its original rom And sorry for the bad English, it's not my mother tongue

  • The system doesn't let me to write on the internal storage , and the apps still download on internal storage and as a result, i can't use any apps when i insert sd card

  • Same issue but I fix it by removing memory card then turn it on. Then insert your MMC when its on then set Phone memory as your main.

  • try to remove your sd card or sim. It reboots by itself. works everytime for me.

  • software are not confuses, Names are confused but so is written in the program and it's without logic, but that's it

  • when you reboot the phone sd card need to remove. now format sd card formating the SD card for you can use but firs try over laptop adapter get it in and pull data. everything will be cleared after formating. NOTE: Do not install non PlayStore apps do not do root or flash for more space than delete applications that you do not use the one in the system they do not need you that you can not delete it , then disable them if you did not do root your phone , then try this hold down the volume up key and press power key at same time until the screen lights up to boot the device with recovery mode , and then press volume up\down to select the wipe data factory reset. this will erase all personal data from internal storage.

  • I got this phone for 2weeks now. And 4 days ago it starts to hang everynite. And i hv to reboot it, now my sd card got error. Today my speaker didn't work.... hhfffff, need some advice to fix it

  • I got SD card 2 days ago, when I insert SD card, it use it as the prime memory although I have selected internal storage as prime, how do I fix this issue, it's really annoying, I can't even download films and pictures

  • is it a good phone even it have so many problem??i want to buy alcatel flash 2 by mid of january..but when i read all opinions theres so many bugs...i hope you have a solution..update please ...coz i want this phone perfectly :)

  • kenneth ; that what you read is the one who complained , that doesn't mean that all suffer from such problems , and when for the first time handling the new device then it is possible that you have mistakenly put on automatic simultaneous connection and it is not a problem but it is an option. I am on this side, only a few days, but it helps everywhere around the forums for all who have problems with Alcatel devices and do it for 18 months, and only in the desire to help. sometimes i create the problems on my phone for help. in this case , I haven't got this model but if i found to do something then I'll come back with the possible answer

  • I am planning to order flash 2 but when I read others comment and opinion about wifi and bluetooth that if wifi is on and you turn on the bluetooth the wifi will turn off.

  • your wrong it does support USB OTG

  • no OTG support for this model here link to chek your self full spec ;

  • is this phone OTG supported ? can i use game controller, Key board, mouse or other USB device ?

  • ....but u must use another original branded earphone( creative, phillips, a4 tech etc) to be able to create a good listening pleasure on ur flash2 as its earphone included isnt good.

  • Oh well i just find out that it had an equaluzer on the play music box good sound!!! And it doesnt have heating issue and charges quite fast huh.....uve got a friend on alcatel one touch flash2

  • Just got my alcatel flash2 via lazada 2 days ago and so far havent detected any defect(as you can return it back if the unit is defective after a week of use). Front cam is indeed good for selfie w a flash. Rear cam is not that excellent though. Music sound is not that solid(my lg g3 beat is more solid). Screen resolution good. Fast processor cuz its octa n battery life is good enough. If ur looking for a nice solid phone but w a tight budget..order one @ lazada n hopefully b lucky enough to hold of a non defective flash2. And yes i like d most is its backlit n lg like knock code hahaha

  • I got this phone from Lazada 3 weeks ago and everything works great. Best budget phone.

  • yeah i set the screen brightness to low all day ... so its normal?

  • Try out when listening to a song , press the menu button and select sound effects , you should display the equalizer, set the sound to taste and will be stronger and more comfortable. and not just to complain , all of you here certainly are a young and very smart , and then explore the phone discover its possibilities working on it

  • surely losing battery level , the big screen is the largest consumer , so when you're in a room then put the screen brightness to a minimum in order to save battery power

  • HI i just received alcatel flash 2 yesterday ... the phone is great but the non-removable battery drains fast ... :3 1% of the battery per 5 mins.... wifi, bluetooth ,some background apps are turned off... is this normal? please reply ASAP..

  • my phone just came in yesterday. everything was five except the Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. when you turn on the Bluetooth and the Wi-Fi is on simultaneously the Wi-Fi turns off or is disconnected. should i replace this or how to food it?

  • i got my alcatel flash yesterday. it also comes with the smart watch from lazada the problem is when you on the wifi and the Bluetooth togetherthe wifi is disconnected. should i return this? or how can i fix it?

  • Hy guys... here anyone have custom rom link for af2??

  • This was my fifth alcatel handset and everytime i was more delighted with the new one. i cannot remmember a single flaw in my previous four alcatel handsets but this time i was shocked to see that the touch respone on flash2 was slight unresponsive secondly the back speaker is absolute not audible and clear even in high volume the speaker is unaudible if u bring the speaker close u will hear tearing voice. lastly favourite ringtones cannot be set.

  • is the Alcatel flash 2 getting android 6.0 marshmallow???

  • Earphone that come in the kit, are useless , it 's a toy and if you want a good sound , then buy new high-quality headphones , and when you hear a new sound , come back here and give your comment follow these info ; * Sensitivity: 102 dB/mw at 1KHz * Impedance: 16-32 Ohm * Frequency response: 20 Hz - 20 KHz

  • it's really good. Considering the price for this kind of phone, it's a great deal. Although a lot of problems when it comes to the touch screen and sound on earphones. Also the video is quite distorted, its quite okay for me. Already bought one. Almost no sensors and some pre-installed apps is not likable for me.

  • try with factory data reset, but first remove sd card, and will erase all your personal data pict,songs, etc. in phone storage, and it start like new.

  • for you to make sd card default storage , then; Settings- Storage- you have option --sd card and phone storage , choose which you want , so the SD card . But if you Want to Make External SDcard to read as Internal SDcard then device must be already root; but this is not recommended, because by time can be infected with the virus , which is impossible to remove, and the phone becomes a brick and if you still Wantha to do ,

  • How is the touch sensitivity of flash 2....commcomment pls...

  • Thank you.. How can I set my external sd card from sdcard0 to sdcard1

  • Hi, i bought Alcatel Falsh 2 two months back...Phone is good but the only issue i am facing is that both sims dont work at the same time.If i have put on data netwrok for sim 1 , then automatically SIM 2 is out of network and it doesnt show any network and vice versa.please help me resolve this issue

  • Earphone was not so good. i can't hear the bass guitar and bass drums. you need to download a good app for music player. i suggest poweramp..

  • do an OTA update without the sdcard on...

  • I already updated my flash 2 but double tap to awake sometimes dont work. Please help

  • Doudle tap to awake is not responding sometimes. I already update the version

  • Double tap to awake sometime is not responsive..but everything is great.. Appreciate u guys if u can help about my only issue }:=)

  • my alcatel flash 2 get black out while im playing! damn! what get i do?

  • Why does my alcatel flash 2 does'nt have music player

  • guys, can you share your settings of your camera? :) thanks.

  • how to put applications in the sd card, settings, apps, select the ones open, and move to sd card, but you can not all applications to move to SD card, because they are included in the program and this is only possible if you do root your phone but that's not recommended. The song opens where they are in the phone's memory via the file manager go to phone storage, then menu button select file or folder, then one or more down from left to right 2 icons press copy, get out, now the entrance to the SD memory card and select where you want to paste do the same the second icon from the left in the lower right. done

  • your sd card was already in your phone, and then you took it out but you have forgotten to do ,,safe to remove the SD card,, and those applications that do not work, you are done,-... move to sd card (or external), storage, and later you removed sd card from your phone, without having to restore the phone storage, so part of application stays in the phone memory, and when you remove the sd card, the application itself back into the phone, but now when you return the sd card in the phone, created confusion because the data from an application in a SD card and then when you tray to open these applications system is in confusion. Now you need to do, format sd card, for erase all the information . You have option to do it in the phone, but if you can't then connect to p.c. and format the sd card, and after that restart the phone. Remove SD card only with --safe to remove the sd card—option that you have it in the phone as an option. say thank for my effort.

  • everything was flawless but when i tried to update my phone it says unzip error. somebody here got the same error?

  • guys please help me!! I can't move my music and app to SD card in the Alcatel flash 2....thanks in advance :(

  • I have a problem... When I didn't insert my external sd card, the apps are running fine but when I inserted my external sd card some apps won't open and it says that I need to download other contents so I checked my sd card through es explorer then I saw that my internal memory is sdcard1 and my external sd card is sdcard0.. when I remove my external sd card, my internal memory became sdcard0 and I can now open my apps.. how will I set my internal memory to sdcard0 even if I insert my external sd card??

  • Press menu button, apps, and up on the screen it appearsÂ’ apps, downloaded, widgets,Â’ go to ‘ widgetsÂ’ now you may choose a icon, a long press on the icon and pull left, right, to the wanted page, and leave. For group folder with a number of icons, . Press and hold the icon, and drag it to leave over another icon, so it automatically creates a folder with more icons, and you can put more number of icons, enjoy. later you will be modifying the same procedure from dragging the icon, or press and hold and ‘drag upÂ’ on the trash that is put away, it just removes not delete.

  • should i buy oppo joy 3 or alcatel flash 2? helpp

  • Thanks for this info :)

  • how to show widget??? how to make application group in a folder...(inside menu)....

  • Send it back for refund. It took 7 days for me to complete.

  • I bought this phone from lazada and sent it back because the front cam is blurry when taking pics on low-light conditions compared to the other (flash 2) phone my mom got. I received the other one the same thing is happening. After 5 mins an OTA update from Zadapp popped up asking to update the phone for image stability (and a lot more improvements) so I updated it. After the update, the built-in camera lost its front cam function. An alternative is to download another camera app from PlayStore and use it instead, making sure that the dedicated shutter button works with the cam app downloaded. The front cam improved A LOT though. Also, I have a ModoEx watch I paired with this phone. After the update, the messages won't pop up on the watch anymore. I can say I can live with these little flaws (since it's fixable by an app) and this is still the best PHONE FOR IT'S PRICE. Hands down!

  • Try to turn off the phone, then turned on and check whether everything is OK with the SD card . This restarts the operating system and solve some problems.

  • I can't open my alcatel flash 2. There's no feature anything just the light then nothing else. :( what should I do? I just bought it on lazada. help help

  • I have this phone for a 2 days now, and it somehow deleted the photos i took without me knowing. Also, when i go to file manager, it says my sd card is empty, when it's not.

  • DarkPotato Android 5.0 (ignoring the SD card) consists of the following 4 partitions: 1. mmcblk0p23, for System, 2.9GB 2. mmcblk0p24, for Cache, 1.0GB 3. mmcblk0p26, for Data (userdata, incl Apps), 10.6GB 4. Swap, 1.2GB (equivalent to the Windows "virtual memory" file, for instance)

  • in my opinion the Alcatel flash 2 is the BEST budget phone of the year 2015 for the price of half of the moto g(2015)..... alcatel flash 2 performance is very good,,,,,camera is good for the price,,, display is acceptable at 720p,,,love the stock Android lollipop 5.1:)

  • Hi there fella, lets just say it is not the size of the OS.. It is the size of ->Partition

  • Forget...xiomi, Huawei, meizu, lenovo, micromax....... This mobile is great...

  • Superb phone with outstanding performance. No heating problem no hangs up. Camera Quality is awesome. Just Buy it & reveal the real photographer within you. I have worked on 14 APPS at one time still no hanging problem.. Sound is equal to Dolby Digital-II. So ALCATEL FLASH 2 is leading the market @ 9299/-

  • you're right I have been using it for some time and it's arguably one of the best budget phone of 2015 much better than xiaomi redmi 2 or Meizu m2

  • does it have a good accessories ? good earphone ?

  • the real bang for the buck smartphone... I highly recommend this Alcatel Flash 2

  • Where do guys think the Android OS / pre-installed apps installed? you people keep on complaining about ROM size.... even high end smartphone have this and it is not an issue. Just use the full 128GB microSD and stop compalining.

  • camera need improvement!!! just not as good as its advertise

  • the rest is for the OS

  • On full volume it sounds like a breaking glass...

  • Still can change to new batt..no need to change d fon..

  • does your flash 2 has built in music player?? mine doesnt have :(

  • How about the speaker?if your full volume?

  • I got it and with surprise, I see its magic. Very powerful phone no doubt. Internet speed, camera quality, voice quality all awesome. Im happy.

  • is android masmallow 6.0 coming to the Alcatel flash 2???

  • yeah i know that the system used some space,but its not has to be 4gb, i already check some phones, i also dowloaded cpu-z app to verify its rom, it saids 11.67 i wonder why would alcatel claim that they have 16gb internal storage? instead of 12gb

  • Hi. Just want to know if flash 2 has a good performance in gaming. Is it fast? No lagging?

  • more and more smartphones' battery cannot take out, and I think before the battery have problem, you already has changed a new smartphone.

  • the system need take some space from the storage, you can check other phone also. Even Samsung Galaxy, the users space is less than 12GB.

  • what does its real sd card expasion capacity 64 or up to 128? can anyone have knowledge regarding its internal rom its saids 16gb howcome i can only use 12gb?

  • what is the true expandable capacity of this phone sd cardslot 128 or 64? other said its only 64

  • another non removable battery.,what if you have battery problem after warranty

  • i see that's good to hear. Gonna update my software soon.. Thanks :)

  • My flash 2 have only one problem....heating :(, when i play any mid or high end game, sometimes it just heat-up up to 60 degree within 10-15 minutes (doesn't heat-up under normal usage). Otherwise it's a pretty cool phone & running almost everything flawlessly.

  • realy? maybe ur flash 2 is defective.. i play lots of HD games in my flash 2 like zombie trigger 2, modern combat 4 , marvel future fight, mortal kombat x and many more.. its pretty good no hangging issue..

  • 1 of the best phone ive ever had.. affordable price for such high spec phone!! way better than note 2, grand prime, zenfone 5.. this phone is worth it fast / battery life is good too.. no hanging / lagging issue / and the camera quality is superb :)

  • If you just need the picture for posting on facebook then delete it after you posted it,.

  • obviously the Alcatel flash 2 is better because it has octa core processor.. slightly better Gpu much better stock Android

  • guys,how to adjust voice clarity in making calls because the voice from the other line you talk is not clear...you need to use headphone to hear it clearly...

  • Why this phone can't have option to lower the resolution as I don't need every photo to be 13mp which take up a lot of space it will be good if I can choose 2MP or what for facebook posting and so on

  • Between Meizu M2 and Alcatel Flash 2, which do you guys think is better or you would suggest? (performance wise)

  • otg enabled

  • go to settings > about phone >wireless update > check for updates done:)

  • go to settings > wireless update and click for the latest update which is version 3.2

  • what did you do to install the latest update for this flash 2 .. pls hepl>

  • i cant install the latest update for my flash 2 !! pls. help

  • the latest update 3.2 solve the issue about the screen responsiveness

  • the gaming isn't that good to be honest... it doesn't go well with high end game lots of hang but for the price it's OK for casual games like subway surfers and fruit ninja.... if gaming is your main priority than you should look elsewhere!

  • yes alcatel flash 2 has fm radio.. my problem with this phone is it is hard to use when charging, the screen is not responsive. Also the screen is hard to zoom in and out of maps or browser.

  • I don't have zooming blur problem, it's clear. But the audio not so good and had audio problem. Experience 2times in a week, 1st time (04-12-15)ringtone no ringing, so send for servicing, they just do for software upgrade; Second time(just yesterday), suddenly no audio, play songs, test ringtones totally no sound, the sounds come back after reboot. Suspected problem caused by go sms pro, because when I set ringtones with external song via go sms pro, the ringtone still using the phone preset ringtone.

  • Hey bro, may i ask did you play hd or high-end games using GAMEPAD CONTROLLER? coz i want it to know if it is OTG Enable .... Thank you for your positive response! =)

  • Can anybody comment on the speakers? Also audio quality on headphones?

  • does the Flash 2 has fm radio?

  • Thanks bro!!

  • Thank you very much! i placed my order today.

  • I have this on my first day, it's no in full HD display. Hmm, the camera, the contrast was high. It's bright when you capture a photo that's why you can say 13 MP is good. But when you zoom the photo, it get's blur. I don't know if I'm the only one who experienced it.

  • this phone is simply amazing 3000mah battery is good on 5inches screen the quality of the camera is good too.. i play many hd games it has no lag.. u wont regret it having this good phone..

I don't play games, listen to songs occasionally. And how is the volume and clarity of the speaker while talking? I will be using it for surfing the net and using net-based social apps, which I do most of my waking time and making/receiving calls. Does it heat up too much while using net? Will appreciate your early opinion as I intend to place my order soon. Thanks.

  • yes

  • hi guys does flash 2 have radio(fm)?

  • Hi jan, Im using alcatel flash 2 and im satisfied with it. If you are a heavy user like playing games all the time choose alcatel flash2 ,because alcatel flash plus is a little bit laggy for games but in terms of performance or multitasking and benchmark choose alcatel flash plus..

  • I havent bought it yet, but Ive red some of the reviews that the performance was good, they can play nba2k12 with no issues, but their problem was the battery, since it is octa-core. It seems that we need to use a power bank. The price is just fine with the specs and design, Im totally going to by it this christmas.

  • I'm having issues of not receiving a single update since purchase this phone from lazada.... camera app needs a lot of improvement, double tap wake features don't work often, Internet connection is not as stable like it always switch between 4g to 3g....alcatel wake up and show your support for your fans!!!!!!

  • the weight of the Alcatel flash 2 is 143g

  • this phone measures 145.80/70.40/8.99

  • the Alcatel flash 2 is USB OTG anable

  • Why does the speaker volume has to be so low? I have to set it to the fullest just to hear it better, but when it is set to mid.volume, its like the speaker is whispering And i thought it is 3000mah, but why does the battery drain so fast that you have to charge it twice a day, yet just using for a short period of time. As it cannot be used at work,,

  • so far i haven't encounter any problem the battery life was so good that i can play need for speed all day. thumbs up for this.

  • the Alcatel flash 2 is 8.99mm thick.....comform

  • My Alcatel Flash 2 records videos in .3gp format and not .mp4. Is there anyway to change to .mp4? Also when I receive a new text message, my screen does not wake up. Only the LED notification. Thanks.

  • install "shareit" from playstore, install it on your pc and phone

  • Guys how's the mobile AF2. Is it able to use or not. I'm planning to buy. As I use mobile very rash so please let me know the mobile works with a lot of Apps. And also the condition of the battery.

  • i certainly agree with you man. scratch-proof does not mean that it is also shatter-proof. you still have to put screenguard on it. my asus zenfone 5's screen broke when it fell just 2 feet on the floor despite of its corning gorilla glass 3 protection. :'( but i can tell you man that AF2 has no dragon trail glass protection. mine has a few small scratches in just two weeks of use.

  • I cannot transfer files/documents/pictures from PC to Alcatel Flash 2 or vice versa....

  • OK.. but does it have DRAGON TRAIL GLASS because it's not even mention in its official website

  • AF2 is not scratch-resistant. Tested and proven...

  • no so far not!

  • i used to think the same way...but....it does not mean that a phone that is scratch-proof(w/ dragontrail etc.) would be shatterproof... a screen protector helps lessen the stress of the glass shattering during a fall... i so regretted not putting a screenprotector on a former smartphone of mine with dragon trail glass

  • are there any issues?

  • LTE band 1(2100), 3(1800), 7(2600), 40(2300)

  • oops sorry for wrong information!! but my former phone the zenfone 5 was using Sony sensor. maybe they would change it in the latest phones.. anyway thanks for the update

  • I charged my alcatel flash 2 full in 2hrs

  • Hi, I just want to ask if it's normal that my battery is decreasing its charge even if i'm not using it and how many hours do I need to charge it after the stock charge has been used. Thanks in advance.

  • Hi, I just want to ask if how many hours do you charge your phone? Thanks..

  • i bought my flash last october... i think first batch in lazada... my problem today is it is not ring although when i used headset i can head it ring... but without headset itslike in silent mode... need help please...

  • What's the lte band of this headset ?

  • Asus uses Toshiba camera module not Sony.

  • Guys! is the Alcatel flash 2 getting android 6.0 marshmallow???

  • it's because the Alcatel flash 2 have DRAGON TRAIL GLASS

  • I tested it with a knife and a pair of scissors a few hours ago dude. as before, still no scratches. :) different tools, same result. indeed AF2 is scratch-resistant so i didn't have to use the free screen protector that comes with the purchase. :)

  • Radio >> Yes it has!

  • How about GPS ?

  • because it tells us the screen to body ratio of the phone... it damn important to me

  • do trust always at lazada sometimes items got in tabi tabi or not authnentic

  • owh shot!!!... why dimension damn so important to you?

  • guys is it true that the front camera of the Alcatel flash 2 can only record video in 480p??????

  • Asus uses Sony camera, alcatel flash 2 uses Samsung camera and based on 1 month of using the Alcatel flash 2.. the camera is very good.. alcatel is the winner

  • Which has a better rear camera guys? Alcatel flash 2 or Zenphone 2 Laser? Anyone knows?

  • why not test it with knife for better results

  • I really love this phone guys. It is scratch-resistant when I tested it with a key. :)

  • So why my phone having a defect even i handle it with care..i just shot the power or reboot it.. it will take 30 minutes to come alive and everything doesn't working anymore even all the apps install and photo on this phone..

  • I buy this flash 2 on lazada..after three weeks..i see a problem on my phone..every time I shot the power down the system and all the apps on this phone doesn't working..i just came to the service center to fix it..now I had to wait 3 weeks..I'm so disappointed on this phone

  • correction it also have compass sensor

  • I don't think they will.. GSMARENA only review phones with good popularity

  • I just want to ask why my Alcatel Flash 2 records videos in 3gp format rather than mp4?

  • GSM arena please make a review of this phone! Please?

  • no.. it only have accelerometer, proximity and light sensor.. mediatek chipset is to blame for very limited amount of sensors

  • that's the problem I'm also having!! even in alcatel official website doesn't mention anything about the dimension of the Alcatel flash 2!!! I expect GSMARENA to solve this issue

  • no gyroscope?

  • can somebody tell me the dimension of this device!

  • awesome camera cute look nice touch good phone under 10000

  • this phone's ram availability is 1.88gb compare to my former phone the Asus zenfone 5 which have more ram available at 1.94gb..(a good 600mb lost) in the Alcatel flash 2.. but performance is good no worries

  • I want to ask about Alcatel Flash 2 display screen glass protector. Is is right that it have dragontrail asahi glass for protection?

  • 16GB is for internal memory space, the system is in the internal memory, so you won't have full 16GB of spaces to use. almost all phone are the same.

  • Your phone is not defective. It usually happens even on other androids. Just play the music or movie again.;)

  • Your phone is not defective. It usually happens even in other smart phone when you connect it on speakers. you just have to touch the play button to enjoy listening or watching with speakers on you android.;)

  • Your is not defective. It usually happens even in other smart phone when you connect it on speakers. you just have to touch the play button to enjoy listening or watching with speakers on you android.;)

  • mine is ok.... maybe you have a defective unit...

  • mine is ok.... maybe you have a defective unit...

  • Correction about the time i own this, not 2 months but only a month and several days from the 1st release in september.

  • I have this phone for 2 months now. And i am quite satisfied with the camera, gps, performance, speed, mobile data... In all. I am heavy user and i also use this for work in rural areas. No hangs or whatso ever. Just dont play games while chargin to avoid overheating of bat.

  • the touch sensitivity of this phone is not as good as other phones... I'm been noticing this when I play games...

  • the stock camera app is just too simple.. lack many features have to download third party app,!!! yes I agree the screen is not as good as it should be... so is the speaker quality very low and lots of Crack noise when the volume is turned high!! the screen response is a bit low to be honest but overall it's a great budget phone 7.5/10

  • it always hang everytime i reboot or shot it down power..plz dont buy this unit..

  • is it true what i have read from yugatech that the battery can be removed by unscrewing the screws that's in the battery? please can anyone confirm this? and whats the screen protection? dragontrail or gorilla? thank you

  • My Alcatel FLASH2 1-week review: I've been using the Flash2 for 1 week now. I have to say this is an impressive phone. You can view my first impression video here: I like the battery backup. 3000mAh might not sound like much these days. But this phone utilises the power efficiently and I used to charge 3 to 4 times a day for my previous phones. Now I still have 20% left at midnight after unplugging from charger at 8am. The build quality is great, especially the bundled real leather (yes it is not faux leather) casing which feels soft and expensive. The other thing I love is the software speed. The phone UI is just plain fast! Not because of the Octa Core Mediatek processor, mind you. But because it is running Stock Android Lollipop 5.1, it just feel so zippy in use whether you are opening Apps, switching between dozens of Apps, or browsing internet via 4G LTE. Love it! No more waiting. The camera is sharp and quick to focus. Photos generally come out sharp and with punchy colours. The Samsung ISOCELL takes good photos in low light well and has Live photo which allows user to select multiple angle of the photo object. Opening the Camera app can be a bit slow unfortunately. The dedicated Shutter button works okay but can be improved as it is not responsive enough and has delayed action. The downside of Flash2 is the screen have a slight blueish tint and there's a bad colour shift when viewed from different angle. Luckily it is adjustable via the settings and you get used to it pretty fast. The capacitive touch button for Back and Menu is located too near the edge and when they are Off (Backlit but will dim out while using the phone), you tend to miss the button when using the phone. This is really annoying, hope Alcatel can come up with a firmware update to address this by leaving the backlight On for these buttons all the time when the screen is active. It won't drain the battery that much. So in summary, the Flash2 is a superb value for money phone for majority of the users who don't want to pay for unneccessary features and branding. This is a phone you will love and keep for some time. Positives: 1. Good battery life 2. Excellent build quality and feels premium with the leather flip casing 3. Camera is sharp and colours are punchy 4. UI is super fast using Stock Android Lollipop 5.1 5. 4G LTE on both SIM cards and fast internet speed Negatives: 1. IPS Screen is not as good as other brand models. Has blueish tint at certain angles. 2. Capacitive buttons for Back and Menu is located too near to the edge 3. Speakers sound tiny although loud

  • great specs.great price. but the only problem is the NON-REMOVABLE BATTERY! it should have been a removable.

  • I absolutely love this phone. Its very good for your 2nd phone. What I just don't understand is the player and when connecting it in the speaker it just stop the music automatically. I dont know how this one does but I'm looking for videos that have this problem but I can't find one. I dont know if my phone is defective or what. But I love the phone itself just the music player.

  • i wanna tell something. The Camera is Very Good. In low light is beautiful. cause f2.0. I think is just same like Lumia 925. Almost same. but alcatel is more detail cause 13mp than lumia 8mp.

  • Lol, that's why the price is low

  • yes it does support OTG. I'm using a 32gb lexar OTB on my alcatel flash 2

  • Asahi Dragontrail Glass

  • Cam. Using hardware info - 23mp rear, 5mp front. Screen satisfsctorily HD, bat life good, 4 to 6 hours game time. No problem arises yet the phone used since sept. 15. Great if not good phone.

  • It is removeable battery set.

  • May be a good performer. But never expect software upgrades from Alcatel. If u have no problem with that, then go for it.

  • What about the display!???/

  • mahina ang data connection ng alcatel

  • what screen protection is this? asahi dragontrail or corning gorilla?

  • lol comment

  • Yes. 100% agree with this...wake-up gestures sometimes does'nt work...plus in some instances,I cannot connect with a Wifi router, any idea how to fix this problems guys...

  • i've been using my phone for almost 2 weeks, so far so good, installed hi-end games, playtime for 3 hours a day, surfing, calling and texting, it only takes me 1 charge per day, cons is that sometimes the double tap wake feature doesnt work always, heats up to 55 deg. camera is good but not that good as it was advertised, telling 16GB but i only have 11.8GB, speaker is average...i rate this phone 8/10 because it has a cheap price for this specs.. :)

  • yes you can...just install ES File explorer..put the ringtone you want and it's done....

  • If you want to update your os to next higher version, don't buy products from alcatel. I own Alcatel Flash Plus and we don't hear anything about updates from Alcatel. The company just leaves its buyer in a stuck os.

  • Does it support OTG?

  • Guys can you assign an download ringtone at d notifications of the fone?

  • What about the display??? Is the contrast satisfying?

  • Today I've tried his cell phone. Only proximity sensor, light, and accelerometer. it's why the price is cheap. I do not really like the design. the camera is not too special, but not bad.

  • OTG?? none

  • I am going to purchase this phone but i dont know about it's features and battery life etc. The look of the phone is gud but never heard of this phone so i am a bit worried if it turns out bad! I need ur opinions guys. Plz help me out.

  • Can anyone please say SAR value of (Head & Body) of this phone?

  • I bought 2 units from the 2nd batch sale from Lazada last Oct 15. Was delivered to me by the 16th. I can say that so far, I feel satisfied with it. I'm not a techno buff, but I appreciate the fact that the phone is built in with features and functions that could be at least at par with the latest phones in the market, catch is that I have it for a minimal/low price. The phone looks elegant from the get go. Plus add the fact that when you use the "Leather" case coming from the package, it looks better and classy The battery life was unexpectedly good as well despite the 3k mah advertisement. Both units I got were doing great. It almost never loses % when Idle. You can use it for a fair amount of hours surfing/playing. (Though, I didn't really jot down how much I've consumed, but when I got tired using it, it still has a fair amount left). Charging is fast. From 10-100% it goes around a little less than 2 hours. (I think it goes around 1 hour 30- 1 hour 45) It has good cam (I think it is good for my standards), I don't know why other users say it is grainy or bad. Mine has clear and crisp pics. Even if you have a dim to dark-lit place, the flash + cam make it appear as if there's light when the pic was taken. It could text and call smoothly, could play the games I want to play. (though I don't usually play high-graphic games on phone, but I tried Marvel Future Fight, and it runs smoothly) In short, it could get the job done. It may not be the best out there, but It could do what I expected from it at a low price. Which is what's important. It is a good bang-for-buck phone for those who have limited budget!

  • why not women?

  • hi guys, i just bought alcatel flash 2 at Lazada last October 8, and received the phone the next day (Oct. 9). i didn't used it often since i have my old phone with me. i tried inserting another sim card (October 12), but upon pressing the power button, it wont start-up, then i accidentally touch the memory card slot and it's unusually hot (like it's burning or something). i immediately removed my memory card and saw that its burnt already. i reported it to Lazada and they told me that it might take up to 30 days to check if the item is replaceable or refundable. i need your opinion guys. please help me, i don't know if am i the only one who experienced it with this Alcatel Flash 2. thanks a lot in advance.

  • Any heat problem in games?

  • The product is good, however, the camera is sloppy. Blurry most of the time, you will really need a very stable hand to use the camera.

  • Service centre, yep. I dont wanna see service centres. I want a healthy phone with no probz.

  • WiFi problems at my office...can't connect...any ideas,men?

  • for changing a battry from a non removal kind of phone.you have to go through service centre.... i read somewhere

  • Nice design, cool but i see it has non removable battery? Why a non removable battery? Is there somethin wrong with a removable? I will never spent my bucks on non removable battery phones. What if ur battery is not good any more in 6 months, than what? Dont get me wrong but Alcatel bring cool phones.

  • What's the weight and dimensions of the phone?

  • I'm about to purchase this phone but doubt its battery life. Anyone already using this phone could you please share your experiences regarding the battery life? FYI how I usually use my phone, I'm not gamer, I use phone mostly for working like browsing, checking and replying emails, chatting, and medium social media. I'm confused whether to go with Alcatel Flash 2 or Huawei Honor 4x. Many reviews of Honor 4x give me a firmer confidence that it surely has a good battery life, unlike AF2 with just few reviews since it's a new product.

  • Does it have gyro sensors and compass sensors?

  • After owning this device for 2 weeks, I regretfully say that I sold it. But, not because it has any issues, it's because I was forced to sell the phone, due to the price that was offered to me. The phone was well built, from the design down to the OS, due it's stock android 5.0. Camera quality is great, the only downside is that, it's slow focus in low light, but the quality is indeed amazing for it's price range. Display is very sharp and clear, also the colors are vibrant. LTE connection is very fast, tried using the speedtest app got it to almost 2mbps, considering I'm from a country with a poor internet connection. Browsing with phone is amazingly fast. YouTube, social networking sites, searching, you name it, loads almost instantly. The battery life of the phone was okay, I've been playing for 3 hours straight with my wifi connection on, my battery went from 87% down to 37%. left my phone idle overnight, I noticed that it only depleted 5-7% of battery. Charging time is fast, can be fully charge from 0-100% in a matter of 3 - 3hours and 30 minutes. The audio quality is the only and major downside of the phone, the bass quality is pretty low, but the loudness is okay. But it somehow irritates me to hear a loud music with little bass, if not, nothing at all. As for the call quality, It's very low, even when connected with a headset, I still can't almost hear the person I am talking with. Same for the music, bass quality is very poor. even with a high quality bass headset, you can't maximize the sound, especially the bass. Despite the audio quality, my overall experience is amazing. 8/10 for it's overall quality. I highly recommend this phone, it's affordable and bang for the buck.

  • Why some information is still missing? Like the dimensions, weight, etc.

  • Does it have OTA sync ??

  • This phone is best because have feature App Permission like Android M feature and have Auto Start Management to set up what app to auto start at startup.

  • Surfing using mobile data will really drain your battery fast.

  • your unit maybe defective bro i use my flash 2 playing dark avenger 1 hour 20% consumption on my battery my brightness set in 75%

  • - When will this phone be available (out of Lazada) or will this phone be available through Lazada only in it's lifetime? - can someone post an in-depth review of the product please.

  • so far as i understand it will be a good phone. a few people using this phone, not so many. Therefore we are not being able to evaluate exactly. few complaining about sound quality, few complaining about fast battery consumption. However let's see more......ha ha ha ha

  • How is the battery life is it good? And what's the average SOT can you get?

  • phone is good so far,but how can you disable the camera on the lock screen?tanx

  • Flash 2 SAR Value 0.565

  • Flash 2 SAR Value is 0.565 so its safe ^_^

  • i think you flash to is defective my sound is ok even in high volume crisp with powerfull bass

  • It does support USB-OTG.

  • Mine actually saves them on SD. While my default write disk setting is phone storage. I thought they were related but that's how it is with mine.

  • It has not been launched in India yet. Can anyone post the Sar value?

  • I have this phone and so far it has been amazing, i switched to this phone from an iPhone 5 and my gawd the speed and camera are the bomb. I'm surprised they managed to put so much into this phone for such a low price. even the android one can't compete hahaha

  • Good phone. But I was wondering if there was a way to make the camera app save the photos to the SD card. Can't seem to find the option.

  • oct 8 @ 12 nn

  • nice phone

  • Which one looks good and feels good in hand? White or black one?

  • Can i ask to anybody that already use the flash 2, how is the front and rear cam, especially the rear cam, is it really what they advertise? how about quality and sharpness of the image result, compare to meizu m2 note, redmi note 2, or even mi4i or other phone in its price range

  • any heat problem?

  • It has a notification light. As for the multitask, it's all good. But don't tend to overdo so like when while high-end game, don't expect to open another high end app or game and expect that performance doesn't decrease.

  • Yes it has a notification light at the right of the front facing camera multitasking is good but not the best

  • how good is its's multitasking? Does it have notification light?

  • Does it have notification light? How about its' multitasking?

  • I'm happy with Flash 2. I've been looking for decent budget phone for quite a while now and luckily this was just about to be realeased in PH end of Sept. It's 5-in size is very ergonomic as opposed to my previous 5.5-in phone. Flash 2's design is superb, I like it's volcanic grey color. The best thing about this device based on my 3-day usage is it's camera. If your into photography or maybe just taking selfies, this one is for you! Great sensor that even the 5 mp front cam can perfeclty handle low light conditions resulting to stunning images.

  • Yes it does

  • when will it be available in lazada? it says temporary out of stock..... can any body please answer me. thanks.

  • Does it support usb otg

  • i just want to ask if how many stocks are there on oct.8? and how's the phone? any negative effects or something? please do reply. thanks :)

  • miezu has high volume but if you full the volume it becomes distorted at times. while in flash 2 volume and sound is a little above average but crisp and clean sound if your pair it with good earphones it well sound fantastic. i used L99 SOUL by lodacris headphones. oh and meizu comes with many and Chinese bloatwares and apps some of theme are not uninstallable and heavy UI that could affect the RAM usage while flash2 is stock android no bloatwares.

  • yes, as common, if you broke the phone, warranty is void, but the usual factory defect? after 1month or let say 11months, if broke? the battery of your phone blotted? or your power button, not responding anymore what will you do? warranty of course. On normal. the parts and labor is FREE, but for this phone. Alcatel Flash 2, labor is only cover. I already ask Lazada and Alcatel. And they confirmed it!

  • hi mate, thanks for the comment review! i am confused between meizu m2 and flash 2. i want a loud music experience through headphones. i don't have a music mp3 player. is meizu better in terms of sound or alcatel? how loud is it? is it better than an iphone? loudness, clarity? please reply asap! hehe thanks !!

  • yes is it does not have gorilla glass but it has asahi dragontrail glass. k3 note has high SAR value that can affect healthand when playing games it becomes so hot when playing asphalt 8 it lags alot. no app drawer Heavy UI that can cost lots or ram call quality so low flash 2 is 720p but it has mira vision like sony's X-reality engine so go with Flash 2 go alcatel

  • after read many BULLS reviws I wnt to say ....Alcatel flash 2.....Don't buy this phone ...if price will be above 9999 ...there are many other choices in this range with better config....like Lenovo k3 note and others...with good resolutions...clock speed....(this device is only 1.3).....and after sale service is very poor... Cons... no Gorilla glass screen to body retio is not good the body after screen is too much the length is too much compare to 5 inch 1.7 available in this price....Lenovo k3 note (this device 1.3) Full hd available in this price....Lenovo k3...this device 720x1280 Gorilla glass available in this price...asus lazer SO DONT WASTE UR MONEY IN THIS BULLSHIT PHONE THIS IS AND WILL BE FLOP MODEL OF ALCATEL

  • It's free labour cost and spare part in warranty time unless you damage the phone

  • Does it have gyro sensor and does it support usb otg?

  • all of good specs and praises will come in end if its broken. what is your next step? off course. WARRANTY. But, Did you know? alcatel and lazada only provide 1 year service warranty for this phone Alcatel Flash 2 ? Service warranty will only provide a service or labor support to your phone, example, just in case they will need to replace some parts, such as sensor,button,battery etc. you need to pay it. That's why we need a warranty with 1year PARTS and SERVICES., for 1 year FULLY PEACE OF MIND. We are not exempted from Hardware and Software failure. Good warranty is your defense.

  • the autofocus is not accurate...

  • oh im from cebu too but haven't got my order yet :(

  • After only 2 days after filing my order, I was surprised to see a delivery man stading right in front of our doorstep. Lazada do provide fast service. Kudos Lazada. Anyway, I'm really impressed by how the phone was made. Though it is made from plastic, you can still feel that it is somewhat more premium than what you've paid for. The camera, front and back are superb. If I were to rate it, I'd give a 8/10. Call quality is great, it's pretty clear. The screen is quite remarkable, it's vibrant. I haven't tested the LTE connection yet, the reason why is that, here, LTE isn't available. As for the battery, I guess it's safe to say that, from moderate to heavy use, it'll last a at least a day. Overall, my experience with this phone is AWESOME! Thumbs up, Alcatel!

  • Camera is good. better selfies for front cam. im wondering why battery drains so fast just about 6 hours with LTE connection. the touch screen is not that responsive(maybe im just used with my xperia z3 which is very responsive and battery last for 12 hours with data enabled and heavy use) .. but over all performance of phone is good when it comes to the price..

  • LTE connectivity is super no issues at alli got my phone fast or is it only me ^^ what i like the most is the battery and the front cam superb

  • im live in cebu lazada delivers fast or its only me who got first ^_^ LTE connectivity is awesome bro trust me. the battery is what i like and the front cam superb

  • was waiting for this but it turn out have worse battery, weaker gpu and cpu than flash plus. it has better camera but also 10% more expensive (Indonesia) . could get meizu m2 note for the monies, or add few bucks to get redmi note 2 which have much better GPU/CPU performance (yes, I am waiting for int version redmi note 2, but still searching for any better option)

  • Bro, may I ask? From what country are you from? 'Cause I was wondering how'd you get yours so early, when AF2 went only available in Lazada yesterday. Hows the LTE connection? Is it fast?

  • battery super good last 7 hours of heavy to moderate usage rear camera 8/10 quality good in low light front camera 8/10 can take good image also screen visible in sunlight good viewing angles sharp crisp vivid colors bang for the buck price well done alcatel and like there originality in design 10/10 super satisfied thanks lazada

  • Alcatel flash plus has the better specs. Better gpu and battery than flash 2. Only advantage this phone has is the camera, but not much and this has lollipop while the flash plus has kitkat with lewa UI.

  • Xiaomi 4C is more expensive than Flash2, I don't think you should compare with Flash2. Flash2 is more suitable for people who don't want to spend too much money to buy a phone but still want to have a good camera phone.

  • compared with other 5'' smartphone, Flash2 seems have better chipset which is octa-core. I'm interested in the camera quality since Alcatel said they have worked hard on the camera.

  • well, the phone I'm using now is quite good. I didn't meet the problems you wrote. I cannot believe the phone will make you visit seven times.

  • Bought this phone via Lazada today. I can't wait to hold it my hands. I was going to buy a secondhand LG G3 for 13k pesos, which is roughly around $300. But then I saw this beauty, got me hooked up instantly. To think, a phone with this specs for atleast half the price. I know it's not much compared to a G3, but atleast it's brand new. To a person who only use their phone for mail, browsing and most importantly on a tight budget, this is trully a best buy.

  • may i know the remaining free memory from the 2gb in the apps section ... also for the free space left in the 16gb with the pre-installed apps. thanks

  • I am glad Alcatel back to Cell phone business. It used to be one of the most reliable & long lasting cell phones during cellular era!! I wish they will retain their standards & emerging market of cell competition. I can't wait to buy this phone, to have Alcatel cell back in my hands!!

  • I'm not sure I'm liking that "Non-removable Li-on battery" specification.

  • service warranty only, would big issue for Philippine consumer Hope they will provide 1 year parts and service warranty.

  • I like the specs. but i don't like the design.

  • USB OTG Support...???

  • where we can buy mi 4c

  • Based on the written specs, which is better, Alcatel Flash+ or Alcatel Flash 2??

  • mi4c mas mahal at powerfull ang specs rather than this alcatel flash 2 na 6,190 vs 12-13k mi4c if u have money Go for Mi4c or try the MI Redmi Note 2 Prime for only below 10-9k only with latest helliox10 mediatek chipset and 5.5inch FHD 2gb ram 32gb internal and 13mp sony lens..having 1 right now and it is Good adn running miui v7 dev rom weekly updates =D

  • How's the audio quality? Noise - dB ? / Crosstalk - dB?

  • looking from him saying that, he's used to the miui bloatware rather then the "dull looking" stock android

  • nice look, good specs, at low price. good job alcatel

  • Come on, of course it is cheaper than Mi4c. Mi4c comes with Snapdragon 808, Full HD screen and latest Sony IMX258 sensor for camera. It's two different class of smartphone to compare with.

  • It runs on stock android. At least thats how the Philippine version is.

  • How is stock android $h!+?

  • It comes with radio apps

  • But the ui is like shit!!! Mi ui much better and safer

  • can this phone be reviewed please.

  • It's a lot cheaper than Mi4c. Flash 2 costs 6.190k PHP about 137 USD

  • It's a lot cheaper than Mi4c. Flash 2 costs 6.190k PHP about 137 USD

  • looks like phone has good specs but not as good as it should be the specs are almost similar to its previous model with only 2 changes 16 gb internal and little bit bump in the processor but the design is nice

  • alcatel please dont give to many differences on 1 model.. hard to know that specific of 1 model

  • and then alcatel keep producing cheap affordable smartphone... time to replace my pixi3... good luck alcatel

  • i have bye

  • I really like this design from the Flash 2.

  • Now I'm confused. This or mi 4c? But I'm pretty sure flash 2 will be a lot cheaper.

  • Not nice design...go to design school Alcatel
