What the Critics Are Saying...
- Jason England, Android GuysThe Alcatel 1X isn't the fastest or flashiest of phones by any means, but the modern aspect ratio, fingerprint scanner, and use of Android Go help make it a decent competitor in the budget arena.
- Dan Cohen, Gear DiaryThe Alcatel 1X isn’t going to impress smartphone experts. It won’t satisfy power-users. And it likely won’t be the right phone for the busy professional. But for the person on a tight budget, looking to get an Android device for their child or needing a spare phone for travel, this is a great option...
- Patrick Lucas Austin, GizmodoIf you’re eyeing a $100 phone, spending more may not be an option. And in that case, the Alcatel 1X gets the job done—it has apps, it lets you get online, it has a camera. It makes phone calls! It’s a smartphone at its most basic, and hey, that’s better than nothing.
- Fergus Halliday, Good Gear GuideIf you’re looking for a throwaway device with all the functionality that modern Android offers, this’ll tick that box - but it won’t look pretty.
- Mark Jansen, Digital TrendsLike its stablemate the Alcatel 3V, the Alcatel 1X is just too slow to recommend. It’s likely due to the weak processor, but this kind of performance doesn’t bode well for Android Go.
