Mi opinión sobre el Alcatel 1 (16 GB) 📱
El Alcatel 1 (16 GB) es un teléfono básico pensado para quienes solo necesitan lo esencial: llamadas, WhatsApp, redes sociales ligeras y algunas apps simples. Su diseño es compacto y liviano, lo que lo hace fácil de manejar con una sola mano. Además, cuenta con una pantalla pequeña de 5 pulgadas y Android Go, una versión ligera del sistema que ayuda a que funcione con menos recursos.

A Bad Cheap Phone
I am a connoisseur of cheap, unlocked cell phones. It has been years since I have had a phone plan tethered to a specific device. I say this upfront to make clear to everyone reading that I know what a good cheap phone looks like, feels like, how it operates. This is not a good cheap phone. I have used the cheap versions of Nokia, Motorola, and Blu to varying degrees of satisfaction in the past, and, depending on your budget, would recommend each of those brands to this one. What is specifically wrong with this device? For one, it is sensitive and slow. These two defects go together frequently. You will make a phone call, your ear will hit an app on the screen, and you will be moments away from accidentally ordering an Uber to your location. Or you will call up Google Maps, it will take eons to load, and you will accidentally hit the wrong location on the sensitive screen, which will take another few eons to clear away to restart your search proper. I have more bad things to say about this phone, but I will not belabor the point. For cheapest of the cheap, Blu is better. If you can scrounge a bit more money together, the unlocked Nokias and Motorolas are better. I cannot speak to any other brand, but I would guess they are all better than the Alcatel. Do not purchase unless you want constant headaches. Update (October 2022): After five months of struggling with this phone, I have finally called it quits and ordered a different unlocked brand. It became impossible to have phone conversations of any length, because the oversensitive touch screen would start activating all of the apps while on your call, start recording the call, turn down the volume, or, in one frustrating but hilarious instance, all of these things at once. I downgraded this phone from "2 stars" to "1 star." It is just not worth it. Any other brand is better.

Alcatel 1 deficiencies
Item arrived on time, I love the size & it’s reasonably priced for a dual sim unlocked phone. However, I noticed that the global time feature does not work & the battery drains fast, so it might be a good idea to include an extra battery in your purchase or hopefully the manufacturer will consider selling it w/ a spare battery. Calls kept going to voicemail instead of ringing. I returned the phone for replacement of the same. If the replacement has the same defects, then I will have to return it & look for another unlocked dual sim smartphone & change my rating. I’m hoping that it’s just the one I got that’s defective. Replacement arrived much earlier than originally stated. The global time on the replacement works this time, however, it still keeps on going to Voicemail. If I'm unable to make this ring w/ the help of IT support, this phone is going back again bec. it's important not to miss a call especially when it's important.

A Cell Phone That Works Without Being Hefty In Price
This phone arrived in new condition and ran the older software of the Google system of programs. After running some lengthy updates, the system was able to run the modern version of the Google Play Store, which was necessary to access any applications linked to my Google Account. I can attest that this phone runs as expected, once all of the Google Play updates and individual application updates were installed. I have used the camera of this phone to record an event from a distance of about 50 feet, during the Night. The persons were visible, but this phone's camera is incapable of zooming close, so detailed features were not possible to capture, from the distance under that specific lighting. It did, however, function as expected, with the camera operating in a similar manner to other phones of the same quality. I had no trouble accessing the cell service associated with my previous T-Mobile Network phone, once I installed the SIM card from the old phone to this one. This allowed me to access my cell service without the need to contact my cell phone provider. I can send/receive text messages and make/receive phone calls without difficulty. The phone has adequate processing speed to utilize Public Wi-Fi hotspots without difficulty. Overall, I am very impressed and approve of the quality and function of this phone, especially for the price tag.

Update to first review
Updating the review below. I taught myself a lesson: don't take minimal passes as success. The first observations are still valid, but sobered by experience. Getting to know this item I found it to be, in a word, CRAP for daily use. Oh let me count the ways. 1)Touch screen is irratic. It either doesn't react to a tap or goes off on its own if just brushed. No change no matter what I do in settings, so it's useless for browsing. 2) Phone drags to connect to Internet, change pages, etc. Maddening to try to read news or an article. NOT just "relatively" slow. 3) Battery life is a joke!! While it charges well and holds charge if left alone, JUST DON'T USE IT! In even browsing it east charge. Will go from 100 to 80% in less than an hour. And once it gets down to 40% you're toast. Not what I need for even "go phone" use. I'm keeping it as an in the drawer, purely last resort bandaid in case disaster strikes with everything else. Have a different small phone coming that will go through a full check list and stay if it really passes. If not it goes back - don't need another drawer phone. First review below: Okay, it's a model a few years old, still runs android 10, lacks built-in widgets, and is relatively slow. BUT, it's exactly what I needed as a second "go phone" rather than my main line. AND it is an unlocked smart phone that really is unlocked and accommodates a reseller network (Consumer Cellular). Setup was a snap: inserted my new SIM and logged in with my Google account. The phone and Consumer Cellular did the rest including importing my contacts. I just had to disable a few pre-installed, and a couple of must haves out of Google Play, and done. As George Carlin would say, a smaller portable place for my stuff. If you're looking for frills, not your phone. But it's great for basic utility.

Lo compré para tener un teléfono de reserva para cada miembro de mi familia. Es mejor que cualquier otro producto del mismo precio y El vendedor me dio un excelente servicio

Good Value.
Does all the smart phone stuff for a fraction of the price of the high end products. Don't expect the performance of an iphone or a Galaxy. This is an Android equipped phone that does it all but with some compromise of speed and screen/camera quality; - at a very low price! If you understand that, you will find this a highly functional, well built product at a bargain price. Spend a bit more if you want something with a good camera, this one is very basic.
