Verdict

The Alcatel 3 (2025) is an entry-level 4G smartphone featuring a 6.52-inch IPS LCD display with a 20:9 aspect ratio and a 576 x 1280 pixel resolution. Powered by a Unisoc SC9863A1 octa-core processor and running Android 15 (Go edition), it is equipped with 3GB of RAM and 64GB of eMMC 5.1 internal storage, expandable via a dedicated microSDXC slot. Key features include a side-mounted fingerprint sensor, a substantial 5010 mAh battery with 10W wired charging via USB Type-C, and an 8MP main camera paired with a 5MP selfie lens. Its primary advantages are its long-lasting battery life, modern software for a budget device, and essential security features like face unlock and biometric scanning at a highly affordable price point. However, notable drawbacks include a relatively low-resolution display, dated Wi-Fi 4 connectivity, and a chipset that may struggle with multitasking or demanding applications.
