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

Third-party reviews

What we like about Alcatel Pixi 4 7 3G (1GB + 8GB)

  • 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 + 8GB)

  • 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 is a budget-friendly 7-inch tablet featuring a 1024 x 600 TFT display and 3G cellular connectivity for mobile browsing. It is powered by a 1.3GHz quad-core MediaTek MT8321 processor paired with 1GB of RAM and 8GB of internal storage, which can be expanded by up to 32GB via a dedicated microSD slot. Running on Android 6.0 Marshmallow, the device includes dual 2MP cameras and a 2580mAh battery designed for basic daily tasks. Its main pros include a highly portable, lightweight design (255g) and a slim 9.2mm profile that makes it easy to handle. However, notable cons include limited multitasking performance due to the low RAM, subpar viewing angles on the display, and a relatively short battery life that may require frequent charging during heavy use.
