alcatel Idol 5 - User Reviews

  • Love my Idol 5 but it doesn't have a feature that my Idol 3 had, that is the ability to transfer your apps manually from internal storage to the SD card. I sent my concern to Alcatel support and asked them to add that feature in a software update. Hope they do it other wisenthis phone is great

  • I bought this phone in December 2017 and untill now I`m pleased. Everything works fine. Good internet speed, quick phone, enough RAM for smooth app working, wonderful sound system, excelent cameras, supperb call sound, etc, etc. The only thing that I really hate is the 2800mAh battery...Its too short...ends quickly...it only lasts a day!so, at the end of the day, its a good device. You can buy it :-)

  • Depends on the variant

  • Its awesome mobile

  • In Croatia is on Android 7.0 not 7.1

  • idol 5 have an octa core not quad core

  • for 128 euro is just fine, we saw and we use more expensive phones that in conclusion at everyday use are worst!!

  • The awkward about idol 5 is the even the idol 3 have better futures. That why cost only 130 euro.

  • It has 8cores and 2 Sims ready ability. Price low 128 euro in Greece.

  • I'm thinking of getting the G5S phones but having no compass sound like a deal breaker for me.

  • Alcatel is awful in terms of updates. Better go to Motorola at first and then to Xiaomi.

  • Any sign of Nougat 7.1.1 or 7.1.2 the very least? And are Alcatel known for quick-ish updates? And if you were to choose between Alcatel, Motorola & Xiaomi in terms of updates which would u choose?

  • iPhone made in China. Maybe designed in US but rip off prices.

  • its an 8 core processor not 4 core

  • Great phone,extremely confidential

  • What happened? Alcatel has impressed me with Idol X and Idol 3 and now.........

  • Bye bye iPhone.

  • don't really know why alcatel still making phones, only a handful would buy it.. even that with below 200 eu. That's a pure mobile phone making company whom are nowhere lol. They were horrible when they started, they're just terrible nowadays. I'm quite surprised how the Asians have taken over the mobile market. What they lack is a decent software.

  • Tcl should fire the people who designed this...

  • 400euro???Mi6,1+5,S7...money.Guess they mean 140euro...wtf

  • If we compare price and specs this phone cost much more than Iphone created in USA for USA Labourer wages which could cost over 2000 eur basic model without any add ons or something special.

  • Agreed! Not just visibly, but technically as well. This is a shame!

  • 400 euro! Lol:-))

  • this have to be the edition, because it's worst

  • Here it is, folks - where the successor is visibly worse than its predecessor.
