Alcatel Pixi 4 (7) - Test, Reviews & Prijzen,
(Translated)Show original

Third-party reviews

What we like about Alcatel Pixi 4 7 3G (1GB + 16GB)

  • Highly affordable 'super-budget' pricing
  • Compact, lightweight, and very portable 7-inch design
  • Includes dual SIM card slots with 3G/4G connectivity options
  • Expandable storage via microSD card slot
  • Decent performance for very basic tasks like web browsing and social media
  • Clean software experience with relatively little pre-installed bloatware in some regions

What we don't like about Alcatel Pixi 4 7 3G (1GB + 16GB)

  • 1GB of RAM is often insufficient, leading to lagging and sluggish multitasking
  • Very limited internal storage (8GB), with a significant portion used by the system
  • Poor viewing angles and low resolution on the TFT display
  • Weak camera quality, lacking flash and struggling in anything but bright light
  • Low volume output on both the loudspeaker and headphone jack
  • Slow charging times, sometimes taking 3 to 4 hours to reach full capacity
  • Sub-par battery life for heavy users, often requiring multiple charges a day

Verdict

The Alcatel Pixi 4 7 3G (1GB + 16GB) is a budget-oriented 7-inch tablet featuring a 1024 x 600 TFT display and a 1.3GHz quad-core MediaTek processor. This cellular-enabled model offers a notable upgrade over the base version with 16GB of internal storage, 1GB of RAM, and a 2580mAh battery, all while running on the Android 6.0 Marshmallow operating system. Key pros include its highly portable, lightweight design, dual-SIM 3G connectivity for mobile browsing, and the inclusion of a microSD slot for storage expansion up to 32GB. However, users may encounter significant performance bottlenecks during multitasking or gaming due to the limited RAM, and the cameras—typically a 5MP rear and 2MP front—offer basic, low-resolution photo quality with weak low-light performance.
