I am considering buying this phone, simply because it is the cheapest phone I can find($60) that I think will work with my T-mobile sim card. I would buy a $20 flip phone if I found one that would. Personally I am just looking for a phone. I want to be able to recieve calls and text messages. Let my family reach me in an emergency, ect... But can completely disregard if it gets broken, lost, or stolen. My only real concerns after watching this are the sound and battery life. But if there is a better phone you can reccomend in its price range please let me know before I settle for this.
@@Technicational this phone has given me depression and anger issues lol I'm only hear to complain and destroy Alcatel, I've had about ten edits on the comments here and it's kicked me back to the home screen 5vtumes, see it just can't do a simple job of typing,
Honest review. Ok you dont like. Have a look at Nokia c01+. It ís ok imo. You are seemingly able to add micro usb otg for reading usb drives, printers, keyboard etc. As long as you add just a handful of small data apps it'll run ok. I have just bought alçatel 1 2021 for about 40£ described as new. Meant to be a smart function to speed up phone in the settings. Nice review and i like your honest opinion.
It's a win-win for me. -No large back camera -Removeable battery -Price -Headphone Jack Why spend a fortune on a phone, if u don't use their full capacity, and u only scrool Facebook.
7:32 and when you restart the phone it says enjoy now enjoy now about 18 times the sarcastic bastards, before you can use it, if your phones restarting and you need to emergency help 111,or 911, or 999, you're dead or somebody guna die
I'm just trying to find the most simple phone for my husband.He's had a major bleeding stroke in the brain. He just wants to call his mom & sisters. Wants nothing else. Says phones after flip are the worst. So I'm trying.
I feel like I need to wash my hands after watching this video. This phone is dreadful (Id even say unexeptable for 2021) Alcatel has some good phones but a budget company making a budget version of an already a budget device is so bad. Great video otherwise.
I personally use a Samsung galaxy a31 and I recently won an alcatel 1s 2021 for free and I wanted to see the budget version of that phone and niw I kinda regret it 😂
I bought an Alcatel 1 recently off Amazon just as an inexpensive and lightweight way to listen to podcasts and mp3's while exercising. I think I will return it, however. It's basically junk. More of a toy than a serious piece of hardware.
I've never had problems adding contacts to a phone before, but with this phone I just can't figure out how to add contacts. I think that I've done what it says, but to no avail, please help me!!!!!!!!.
My dad brought this one for me on my birthday. Don't worry I'll only be using it for calling and messaging. Of course after not using it because I was having major difficulty trying to set it up so I could use the sim card for the calling and messaging. I'm using a superior phoen which I had for two or three years and it's still great aka. I'm using a samsung J6. And when I left it alone for a day it's battery was hella close to death. Cause I didn't charge it yet. I hate this alcatel with my fucking life.
I have the a571vl. God DAMN that phone takes a licking and keeps on ticking! -It got ran over by a truck whilst on grass (which I don't believe, thats what the original owner said). -I've replaced the "safety lens" (The LCD and Digitizer are combined, but not laminated to the front glass) with acrylic, and finally glass. Theirs so much DUST under the screen and their's damage on the LCD surface from the old glass pressing up against it, but it's not cracked and still works perfectly! -I've hit the motherboard with the hot air gun and soldering iron multiple times. Had to replace the charging port and headphone jack. Along with some other miscellaneous things. Now if only the bootloader wasn't hard locked...
100% on the money 💰 this phone makes a lot of people happy across the globe 😅that's all that matters to those people who needed a phone able to access WhatsApp 😅
Recently bought this phone ,keyboard is slow to react as is the phone in general ,screen has a weird resolution that makes it hard to watch ,and in general I feel like throwing it in the road to watch it get ran over because it's just annoying ,poor show Alcatel
If your niece is a violent person or a teenager, she is gonna throwback this at your head... Seriously though, this phone isn't for teenagers or persons that use WhatsApp, Facebook, and Instagram heavily. It will buckle under the pressure. Also, it's not good for gaming either. Advice, look else where. . .
the camera shows up very light or very dark, on live streams I'm always in very darkness even though it's sunny hot summer day, and also it can't handle live streams with to many on panel wich is 3 other people , the phone will get hot and even if your charging the phone it will go backwards in battery percentage when in live streams, the worst thing about this phone is when you type, it is so frustrating people actually called the police on me for yelling abuse because I'm typing a comment, you'll be constantly correcting your typing errors
Is this a good phone for a 9/10 year old only for safety reasons to communicate with them - making sure they reach school safely and walked back home safely?
this is dog shit and not a phone, I had one like that for the new year they gave me like half a year every day there was an inscription filled with the memory of the game
If anyone see this phone don't Buy l have one it works for 3 day then if freezeing when you turn on data if you put Facebook and Whatsapp on if ! moving slow But it stronger than any phone
Hi, I bought in 2023 an Alcatel 5033EP and willing to transfer the pictures I took to my computer, there is no recognition of the cellphone at all. Could you tell me how to solve this issue, please ? I installed the SIM card and is not reconized by the cellphone. What is to be done, please ?
In 2021 I bought one of these as a secret phone eventually it found and I was in loads of trouble, fast forward to early 2022 my dad broke his Samsung Galaxy A10 by accident and my mom allowed him to borrow this phone until he either fixes his Samsung Galaxy A10 or gets a new phone. I'm trying to convince to get a Samsung Galaxy A04e
the camera protrudes from the back, this meens it gets scratched very easily and your camera will look very foggy , get something like a thin spike and push down on one side of the plastic lens cover thing try to turn it , it is stuck down by cheap sticky shit, it will come off then your camera lens can see clearly
Well I wish I had seen your video before I bought this piece of garbage. I work as a cleaning contractor so stupidly bought this as I wanted a no thrills phone. Its totally unusable, the battery life is ridiculous.I just threw it in the bin.
hehe, I thought the Vodafone smart speed 7 was bad but it only cost $75 and it had a 13 mp camera and a 5mp front camera a focus option and you can play any games on it, and run any app, on this Alcatel 1 phone my comments are always edited because it always makes a mistake, Alcatel 1 the 1 is the I q of the producer
seems that i have to use this phone as main phone. im giving my phone (redmi 9 pro) to someone. Mentally and emotionally i have to prepare before using it because this phone has a very bad review. Wish me luck.
I have this phone ,I would only buy another if I really hated someone and wanted them to constantly be fucked off because the phone infuriates them so much ,it's so bad I had to buy a tablet and just use the phone as hot spot ,i can see this phone under a car in the near future ,do not buy 🤮
it's a pile of shit, itle drive you to drink, I get I instead of I've, I'm, is, etc I get could instead of couldn't, I get can instead of can't, and when you press the space bar itle most of the time kick you out to home screen because the space bar and home screen button are 5 mm apart, Grrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrrr,
Don't buy this phone, lags at the most basic functions. I too wished i had seen reviews before buying it but I trusted them since I originally had the 4060a and worked fine, that phone was from 2015 and it's faster than this crap, embarrasing.
El peor telefono de la historia. Y raro por que Alcatel que es Media/Baja, no es tan malo,.he tenido por años como equipo alterno y hasta que el SO no da más. Pero este modelo es un 😡😡😡, la cámara jamás enfoca, por supuesto no lee QR, queda uno varado no puede pagar nada y para colmo, no grava el audio de los vídeos, ES LO PEOR QUE PUEDE EXISTIR. Lo barato sale caro. 🤬🤬
Great review. As someone who bought the Alcatel 1, I can testify that everything up here is 100% on the money.
I want to buy one for my wife , how is the photos quality ?
it still lives?
I remember when I thought a quad core processor was a godsend. Now I'm stuck with it unfortunately.
This is a straight up badass honest review keeping it 💯🤗
I have one as a spare it's been very handy

This is one of those phones that if it gets stolen you wont care a whole lot
Exactly.... the thief probably return it LOL.

First time watching your channel just subscribe. Do you ever do any review on iPhones? I would love if you do some.
I have never done a review on an iPhone on my channel before. If I do get my hand on one of the new ones I'll certainly do a review on my channel.
Removable battery just sold me....I'm getting 😊
I hope not as a daily driver 😬. Just keep your expectations low for this one... very low, and you'll be good.
@@Technicational it's for when I am out and about, and I don't want to risk my prime mobile ☺

I have a Stratus C5 Elite and that thing is rooted. Lots of messing around on that phone!
Thanks for this. Your sigh at the beginning said it all!
I have an android TV, can this phone be used for WiFi connection to watch movies on TH-cam channel or Netflix to my android TV.

Can you do a review on hyundai phones
Is this a good phone for a 9/10 year old only for safety reasons to communicate with them - making sure they reach school safely and walked back home safely?
Sure, it is good enough for that... a matter of fact, that's the best possible way to use this phone.

this is dog shit and not a phone, I had one like that for the new year they gave me like half a year every day there was an inscription filled with the memory of the game
I understand your pain brother... smh
Does this phone support Personal Hotspot?
Yes, mobile hot spot is a feature for almost all android phones.
Love this review very interesting
It's not the size of the battery it's how long it can last.
Oh, get you... but it didn't last long either 😕
Anyone know if this phone is suitable for old people ??
Very helpful. Thank you.
