Before you buy Alcatel Idol 5 Dual SIMphone - customer notice and disclaimer
Before you buy Alcatel Idol 5 Dual SIM
green –
It is an excellent mobile phone in terms of quality-price.
– Battery. So far a weak point for me. Though I have had it for a few weeks now and give it quite a bit (games, browsing, app downloads etc). I’ve read from other users that they are delighted with the battery so perhaps it’s a matter of limiting use over time.
– Memory. It is convenient to buy an SD card. For less than 10 euros you can get a good 32GB memory card.
– The screen is very good, maybe even too bright (even with minimal brightness). But, apparently, there are apps you can download to solve it.
– I haven’t used the camera that much yet, but it does. The front is of good quality compared to most other cell phones.
– Performance. I don’t see it as bad as some say. It’s true that there may be occasional lageo in some of the more elaborate games, but if you don’t play a lot and use it normally, you won’t know.
– The design is beautiful. Very light and elegant. In an atmosphere of high-class mobility, but with much more basic materials.
– Thanks to connectivity, no problem. Perhaps it was not audible during the conversation, but I couldn’t tell if it was a matter of range or device.
– The front speakers emit great sound. Although with headphones at maximum sound, the sound is a bit low compared to the speakers.

I’ve had my phone for a year, maybe the phone broke … After 4 months, the battery stopped working at 100%, the phone turned off and said there was no battery. I had to send it to service to replace the battery. Then my SIM card would disconnect by itself asking me for a mobile pin thousands of times. Finally, discard any damaged memory card even though it is formatted and contains no files. Now there are apps that won’t let me open, hang up and I have to reinstall them. Sorry, but for the price, I recommend it to others, I hope you enjoyed my experience.
