Verdict

The Alcatel 1T 10 is a budget-friendly 10.1-inch tablet featuring a 1280 x 800 HD IPS display and a remarkably lightweight design at just 415g. It is powered by a 1.3GHz quad-core MediaTek MT8321 processor, 1GB of RAM, and 16GB of internal storage, which is expandable up to 128GB via microSD. Key characteristics include the Android 8.1 Oreo (Go Edition) operating system, a 4000mAh battery providing up to 8 hours of usage, and a dedicated Kids Mode with parental controls. Its main pros are its extreme portability, eye-care mode to reduce blue light, and affordable entry price for basic media consumption. However, users frequently note significant cons, including slow performance with lag during multitasking, a lack of durability in charging ports, and a lengthy recharge time for the battery.

Hands on: Alcatel 1T review

The Alcatel 1T series (7-inch and 10-inch) offers ultra-budget, portable, and lightweight tablet options running Android 8.1 Oreo (Go Edition), featuring a dedicated "Kids Mode" for parents. While the 7-inch model provides portability and the 10-inch version offers more screen real estate, both suffer from low-resolution displays (1024×600 to 1280×800) and limited internal storage. Performance is aimed at basic tasks, with a reliance on microSD expansion to overcome limited internal capacity and modest battery life.

Test Alcatel 1T 10 Tablet

The Alcatel 1T 10 is a budget-focused 10.1-inch tablet (approx. €100) running Android 8.1 Go Edition, featuring a lightweight 415g plastic design, a 1280x800 IPS display, 1GB of RAM, and 16GB of storage. While the build is considered sturdy for its price, notable drawbacks include a lack of a fingerprint sensor, thick bezels, and restricted performance. Performance is constrained by the 1GB RAM, leading to sluggishness and limited multitasking, which hampers the user experience. The screen offers decent color reproduction for indoor use but suffers from low brightness and poor outdoor visibility; however, the device does include functional features like a 3.5mm headphone jack and FM radio. With a 4000mAh battery offering respectable, though not exceptional, runtime, the tablet is suitable for casual media consumption but lacks fast charging. Despite the low internal capacity, the storage is expandable via microSD, making it a viable, inexpensive option for children or as a dedicated media viewer, rather than for demanding tasks.

Summary of the review

Review: Alcatel 1T10 (2020) Smart Android-tablet

The Alcatel 1T 10 Smart (2020) is highly praised as an affordable 10-inch tablet offering exceptional value, featuring a full version of Android 10 rather than a Go edition. Notable pros include its lightweight 415-gram design, dedicated Kids Mode with parental controls, Eye Care software, and functional dual speakers/microphones for virtual learning. However, the budget device has clear performance limitations, with the quad-core processor and 2GB of RAM struggling to run intensive apps or games, resulting in lag. The cameras are low-resolution, producing noisy images, and the screen brightness can be inadequate for bright environments, according to the review. Furthermore, the 4080mAh battery lacks fast charging, leading to a long 3-to-5-hour recharge time.
