alcatel Pop 4S - User Reviews

  • Yes, but with a phone that is based off this one you have to go through the settings to turn it on, go to display, then turn on "Pulse notification light". I know, It's weird.

  • This could be a problem with the battery , but its more likely to be a system failure , Can you flash it with SP flash tool?

  • My POp 4s stopped working only the LED lights while it is charging but will not start, someone could guide me about what could be the problem?

  • i am asking if this phone has a notification led for missed call and facebook

  • I m surprised why should people like u use such a great device u say Alca is bad and Nokia is bad and even Sony is bad and "don't buy it", then what is good ? ur mental case ?!

  • ur l;ikes should not use such piece of nicelyness, u should be using q or samsung

  • I bought it in summer of 2017. Before, I had samsung galaxy s3 neo, so I mainly compare my alcatel with s3 neo. All in all, I like pop4s very much - it's stable, good phone, but 1) it has some flaws 2) you have to know how to treat it. The main flaws are that camera quality is way lower than what samsung had - pop4s is very weak in low light environment, the colors of photos and videos are quite crappy, so don't use this phone if you are into photography. It has built in some cool sound system, i think, its jbl speakers. So it has quite loud sound, you don't need additional speakers. But - even at the lowest possible sound it may be too loud. Also, it can become quite a battery consuming in time - to cure that, you have to save all your data and reset to factory settings. What i really like about this phone is design, big screen, durable battery and it's power - all for 130 euro.

  • It's actually a really good value!

  • agreed.

  • TCL/Alcatel is probably the worst company giving updates to their phones! Too bad they don't give a shit because some of their phones are really good and cheap like Pop 4S :)

  • I uninstalled some apps including the antivirus apps and did a hard reset and now its very snappy

  • Is it compatible with vr ???

  • The audio quality when using Bluetooth is really terrible, tinny and lacking bass frequencies. If you listen to music using Bluetooth avoid this phone.

  • Terrible sound quality using bluetooth

  • I uninstalled most the pre-installed apps and updated the Joy Launcher and phone has slightly improved in performance... also try using nova launcher its light and snappy unfortunately there is no info for rooting this device.

  • hey. did you find a solution to root the device or uninstall the apps (pre installed) ?

  • if only TCL gave this phone a nougat 7.0 update.. sucks that you can't even root this

  • I have this device it has been a year. It is a very laggy phone, with many pre-installed apps from alcatel, which makes the device always with more than 1.3 gb used Ram , and those apps cannot be uninstalled without firstly root the device whose i could not yet find a way to do it. The fingerprint is very responsive... And the battery has been so far very good

  • the phone is very laggy after a week or two. notifications ALWAYS popping up for the built in apps(i had to disable most apps).do not buy unless for a temporary phone

  • Yes

  • I uninstalled all updates and installed nova launcher, the phone works really better

  • the phones stock launcher is very laggy, install Microsoft launcher from play store. also if only tcl gave an update to 7.0 that would be great

  • I purchased the phone from Amazon (UK), and I am using the phone for few months... keep in mind the RAM memory, the phone comes with too many pre-installed applications by Alcatel which consume memory and cannot be removed! Hence, 2GB RAM but all together bring you to start with 1.2GB consumed already, with 600MB consumed by marketing/sales departments only (comparing with my previous phone). After installing your own app's - you may run on low RAM memory available.

  • This phone is pretty bad. Slow to respond and has problems multi-tasking (lags). Recently, Alcatel just decided to install a very bloaty File Manager and Launcher App since Google ended theirs, and they can't be uninstalled or swapped for another. This goes double because no rooting option (flash, one click, etc) currently works on this model either, and the phone isn't truly unlocked as was advertised by Best Buy, just for use with different carriers. The now installed File Manager and it's accompanying list of boost, clean-up, and anti-virus programs (irony), which can't be turned off, just drain your battery away. A battery that is bolted to the chassis, so it's not swapable. On top of this, they are notification hogs, and are constantly nagging you about file space, and time to run antivirus, so on. So, you have to install a notification blocker just to shut it up, but, get this, the file manager notification block can't even be turned off by the blocker. So, you're stuck with a random paint brush and one notification that just sits there, unable to be removed. It's become a nightmare and has been extreamly sluggish after this update. Performs in no way like an 8 core, or 4 core for that matter. Do not buy this phone. I wouldn't reccomend any Alcatel after this experience with their software either.

  • I have an Alcatel 5095k model which is dual sim (1nano 1micro) fone is great and reliable although sometimes it lags during multitasking. front cam is not good in low light or night time capture it just sucks. fingerprint scanner is very responsive much better than the j5 prime from samsung and this model has nfc for android pay etc.. also great loudspeaker. overall its a good device for its price range

  • good device for its price range it does give good performance...

  • good device

  • The phone looks very nice. The size, the slim and the height to is very nice. But... for me, the screen brightness not's that I hope.... The battery time, for me it's the 1 half that I need my last phone was an LG L80 Bello and the brightness is better in the LG that this. The performance.. is another point that disillusioned me, because... with the same game (Marvel Future Fight) in my older phone (dual core, 1gb ram, 8gb space) it consumed all the phone space, but it runs acceptablely, now, with these phone with the double in all specifications, then these same game, it amazes some times for 15 or 30 secs..... Some other times, for example... if you slip the top for view your notifications or acces to brightness, then it amazes or looks in slow motion, even if you don't have anything in the back... I don't feel an octacore processor nor 2 gb memory.

  • 5095 k is dual sim and one card slot separately. I used it since 30 November, 2016

  • The phone is really nice. I'm using it already 2,3 mounts from January. The battery if you use it a lot for gaming , watching videos in youtube browsing a lot it will hold at least one day.On standby and using only messenger or listen music it will hold at least 2,3 days at least for me. About the brightens of the phone it's not really nice to use it outside but still not so so bad. But there is strange that i still didn't got any software or system update. if somebody can help me to find list with the updates for this phone i will really greatful. Open for questions.

  • How about battry timing????

  • Except interface excellent phone

  • It has. The GPU is a Mali-T860MP2.

  • does this phone really dosen`t have gpu ?

  • Got this phone a week ago. Love it . Good bang for the buck. The phone I had before Blu studio 5c. POS. I'm sure they have gotten better by now but I won't be buying anymore BLU's

  • this phone support usb otg ?

  • Kindly chck your setting. Maybe your setting in save mode.

  • Will it upgrade to noughat?

  • For the récord this phone as Dragontrail x glass, ver y strong and durable

  • Huawei is a best

  • This is just the 2GB version of the Flash Plus 2!

  • Be aware that the information here are not complete. There are models of the Pop 4S sold on amazon.com that are featuring single micro sim and not dual nano sim. The model I bought and I am going to return due to that is the 5095I, while I believe the 5095K is the one dual sim, at least I have seen it somewhere sold as dual sim. There is also 5095Y but I have not information about it. Also Alcatel Customer Support is confusing these models too and recommended to me the 5095I as dual sim, while it wasn't. GSM Arena should probably update this page accordingly.

  • Excellent phone. Great camera. Much quicker than my old LG optimus L90. I like the actual home "button" on phone. Was suppose to have removal battery, however mine is fixed. Back does come off to increase memory. Overall quite happy. Bought from Best Buy on sale. They matched an Amazon sale price.

  • I have a problem with wifi After the mobile goes to the sleep mode, the wifi disconnected then my network never appeare until I reboot my phone. Any one know what's the problem?

  • looks nice

  • flash plus 2 is a better option or motorola moto g 4g is way better

  • it's available in syria

  • better get the flash plus 2 looks just like this

  • This phone would be available in the Philippines????

  • It is NOT expected soon, as it says in the specs. It is officially released and ALREADY Available in MOST EU Countries!

  • This or Huawei 5c?

  • it arriving in indonesia about may-june (in SEA we called Alcatel Flash Plus 2). and a nicely from this phone is the price... yes it just $133 in here.
