Verdict

The Alcatel Plus 12 4G is a versatile 2-in-1 Windows 10 tablet designed for mobile productivity, featuring an 11.6-inch Full HD IPS display (1920x1080), an Intel Celeron N3350 dual-core processor, 4GB of RAM, and 64GB of storage. Its standout characteristic is the detachable 4G LTE keyboard that not only provides cellular connectivity but also functions as a Wi-Fi hotspot for up to 15 devices. Key pros include its lightweight design (596g for the tablet), a built-in fingerprint scanner for Windows Hello security, and a dual-battery system providing a combined 9,480mAh capacity. However, cons include limited processing power that struggles with demanding tasks beyond basic office work, relatively short battery life of approximately 5-6 hours under active use, and internal storage that is largely occupied by the operating system.
