Alcatel POP 4 UK SIM-Free Smartphone

Product Information

I found its low-light performance poor, but this is to be expected with a phone at this price. Again, its HDR performance in low light brings out missing details and produces a much more pleasing image. I found its rear-facing flash added a blue hue to the image, making it look washed out, but its ability to light a very dark scene is useful. Information about additional software and hardware features of the rear camera which improve its overall performance. One of the main characteristics of the display is its type/technology, on which depends its performance. It does come with Alcatel’s OneTouch Launcher, however, which isn’t necessarily a bad thing. I’m a fan of its simplicity and ease of use – it gives the phone its own identity without riding roughshod over what makes Android great in the first place – and you can always change the launcher, by finding a free or paid one on the Play store. Alcatel Pop 4 review: Performance UMTS stands for Universal Mobile Telecommunications System. Based on the GSM standard, it is deemed as a 3G mobile network standard. It has been developed by the 3GPP and its major advantage is the provision of greater bandwidth and spectral efficiency, due to the W-CDMA technology.

W-CDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access) is an air interface used by 3G mobile networks. It is one of the three different UMTS interfaces together with the TD-SCDMA and the TD-CDMA. The standard provides faster data transfer speeds and allows more users to connect to the network simultaneously.talk time is the time period a battery charge will last, if one is constantly talking on the phone in a 2G cellular network. Surprisingly, the Pop 4’s performance isn’t as good as the cheaper Alcatel Pixi 4 (5). That phone with its MediaTek processor felt much more responsive when I reviewed it and it had higher Geekbench 4 scores.

In photography, the Field of view (FoV) depends not only on the focal length of the lens but also on the sensor size. It is derived from the lens's angle of view and the sensor's crop factor. The lens's angle of view is a measure of the angle between the two farthest separated points within the frame measured diagonally. Simply put, this is how much of a scene in front of the camera will be captured by the camera's sensor. The instruction set architecture (ISA) is a set of commands used by the software to manage the CPU's work. Information about the set of instructions the processor can execute. Battery The batteries of mobile devices differ in capacity and technology. They provide the electrical charge needed for the functioning of the devices. Capacity stand-by time is the longest time a battery charge will last, if the device is not used but is constantly connected to the 3G mobile network. The Pop 4’s screen is reasonably bright, too. I tested it at 414cd/m2, which means it’s good enough to be read comfortably in most outdoor conditions – aside from direct, bright sunlight – without having to shade it with your hand. Colour rendition isn’t quite so impressive, with 79.30% coverage of the sRGB colour gamut. In real-world use, this translates to a pretty good-looking screen, but one where the colours are a little dull and pale compared with the best smartphone screens in the business.Display The display of a mobile device is characterized by its technology, resolution, pixel density, diagonal length, color depth, etc. Type/technology

RAM (Random-Access Memory) is used by the operating system and all installed applications. Data in the RAM is lost after the device is turned off or restarted. In my test shots, I found the Pop 4 held its own in outdoor shots. If you want the best image quality you’ll need to shoot in HDR, as in standard mode images looked washed out and overexposed with inaccurate colours. However, shooting in HDR does require a steady hand and, due to its sluggish performance, the Pop 4 does take a few additional seconds to process HDR images. The display resolution shows the number of pixels on the horizontal and vertical side of the screen. The higher the resolution is, the greater the detail of the displayed content. The capacity of a battery shows the maximum charge, which it can store, measured in mili-Ampere hours.Networks A mobile (cellular) network is a radio system, which allows a large number of mobile devices to communicate with each other. GSM The rear cameras of mobile devices use mainly a LED flash. It may arrive in a single, dual- or multi-light setup and in different arrangements.
