alcatel Pop S3 - User Reviews

  • Terrible phone. Limited space, apps always crash. Even the music player. Only good as a weapon.

  • Well,I have this phone for about 2 years. It's unbearable! First of all the batary lasts at the most one day, and the memory is too small! I put an 16GB SD card some months ago but again it poped notifications saying that I don't have enough space to do anything! Furthermore the camera is terrible (both of the cameras) as well as the keyboard that by the way hasn't got emojis!!In addition you can't find any mobile case for that phone easily. The apps(like instagram/facebook) that I downloaded stuck and kick me out every time!!!I can't bear it anymore :( If you have any advice please tell me★

  • Does this phone definitely come with NFC? I have an Alcatel Pixi 7 but it doesn't have NFC so need to purchase something cheap with NFC Technology. I will literally only be using it for 1 app

  • You have too many applications installed , they you do not need to delete and one in the system that you can not delete do disable if this does not help , then do factory data reset

  • some of my songs on the music folder gone missing...and whenever I tried downloading then my system hang up or will say not enough storage...what to do?

  • Were d same,i have also pop s3 , the galery will missing same as the music. This phone has a verry low quality .

  • The Alcatel was a really nice phone I had it for a short time approximately 2 weeks. From what I understand the screen is very fragile and cracks easily

  • $29 on clearance at Aus post now, Bargain.. -Good battery life -fast enough -poor touch screen -poor speakers + headphone output -not gorilla glass -overall good value for money though at the AUD$59 i paid

  • No otg support at all.

  • I bought one, and i am so dissappointed with the performance, is this a real snapdragon phone? And the battery, whooping 2000mah for a 4inch display, but cant last long, i think this phone is a garbage, grrr.

  • Well my BFF has I and he allowed me to use it horrible camera,freezes,low quality speaker and without a screen protector it lags:( sure sell this so your business could go down hill with my criticism u should update and fix it it doesn't have to be perfect but better

  • You have to format the SD card :(

  • i can get the this for 59$ aud is that worth it ya rekon i have the popc1 and bit disappointed with the web browsing

  • I got my phone 2 months ago. Its out of memory,so 3 days ago I got a SanDisk micro sdhc card. I am unable to save apps on it not even viber/or games {the phone tells me I have no memory on the device even though there is a 32gb microcard in it}. Are they not compatible because they're supposed to be? -also someone told me that- alcatel you can only save apps on internal phone storage and that you can't save them to an sd card. Is this true ! is there a specific sd card for alcatel!?????

  • Problems: Gets very hot in use, not just warm VERY hot (near camera, presumably CPU). Screen has no scratch protection and gets bad scratches easily.

  • i have just purchased an Alcatel 505x EE on contract and it regularly breaks off during a call, I have sent it back to see if they can fix the problem , but they are convinced that I have got it wet or damp, but I havent, what can I do has anyone else had a simular problem

  • Hello I got the fix for your problem. First choose your sd card as default storage, then download from the play store the file manager app ES File Explorer (don't worry it's free). When you open the app be assure that the sdcard0 is your microsd. Now on the settings app choose show hidden files. Well, find the files .nomedia and delete all them. Now your gallery always be working.

  • Yeah even downloading a new gallery app still doesnt help photos still disappear i have to use file manager to view them, also this phone gets super hot while playing some games and get hot on charge while using it not just normal warm off charge but super hot next to camera on back think its the cpu. Might sell mine i think :)

  • I have the same problem with my alcatel Pop s3, when i open my gallery my videos and photos missing. i need to turn it off and open it again to view them!!! i wish they would do some update to fix this.

  • Hmmmmm needs a new update to fix gallery my photos keep disappering the i have to turn off phone to get em back anyone else had same problem? I have disabled a few built in apps i dont need maybe one of them has something to do with it!? Other than that its a great phone but also gets hot while using it on charge

  • is that why the lg costs £120 and the alcatel costs £70 and the alcatel is quadcore, 4G and has better screen than lg?

  • For this price, LG L70 is much better overall than this. Alcatel seems to be a bit pricey.

  • I have two questions about Alcatel Pop S3: 1- I want to know if Alcatel Pop S3 supports OTG (usb on-the-go) or not, I mean is it possible to connect a micro usb flash directly to Alcatel Pop S3 and access the data on flash? (I have an Alcatel Pop c7 and while Alcatel website reports nothing about OTG support, but Alcatel Pop c7 Supports OTG) 2- Is it possible to install Apps on micro SD card or not? Thank you.

  • I want to know if Alcatel Pop S3 supports OTG(usb on-the-go) or not, I mean is it possible to connect a micro usb flash directly to Pop S3 and access the data on flash. I think all of Alcatel smartphone support OTG because i have an Alcatel Pop c7 and it supports OTG while Alcatel web site has report nothing about this feature. Thank you.

  • Is it true that 4G (LTE) is not well received on that POP S3? Is it true that the screen is not well readable when the sun is shining?
