Also, G-sensor is used as a pedometer, it can be controlled various functions device by turning or shaking.
Gyroscope- a sensor that measures rotation angles relative to a fixed coordinate system. Capable of measuring rotation angles in several planes simultaneously. A gyroscope together with an accelerometer allows you to accurately determine the position of the device in space. Devices that use only accelerometers have lower measurement accuracy, especially when fast movement. Also, the capabilities of the gyroscope can be used in modern games for mobile devices.
Light sensor- a sensor that sets the optimal brightness and contrast values ​​for a given light level. The presence of a sensor allows you to increase the battery life of the device.
Proximity sensor- a sensor that detects when the device is close to your face during a call, turns off the backlight and locks the screen, preventing accidental clicks. The presence of a sensor allows you to increase the battery life of the device.
Geomagnetic sensor- a sensor for determining the direction of the world in which the device is directed. Tracks the orientation of the device in space relative to the magnetic poles of the Earth. The information received from the sensor is used in mapping programs for terrain orientation.

Satellite navigation:

GPS(Global Positioning System - global system positioning) - satellite system navigation, providing measurement of distance, time, speed and determining the location of objects anywhere on the Earth. The system is developed, implemented and operated by the US Department of Defense. The basic principle of using the system is to determine location by measuring distances to an object from points with known coordinates - satellites. The distance is calculated by the delay time of signal propagation from sending it by the satellite to receiving it by the antenna of the GPS receiver.
GLONASS(Global Navigation Satellite System) - Soviet and Russian satellite navigation system, developed by order of the USSR Ministry of Defense. The measurement principle is similar to the American GPS navigation system. GLONASS is designed for operational navigation and timing support for land, sea, air and space-based users. The main difference from the GPS system is that GLONASS satellites in their orbital motion do not have resonance (synchrony) with the rotation of the Earth, which provides them with greater stability.

Among the endless variety of models under the Alcatel brand, a couple more have appeared - Alcatel POP 3 5" and Alcatel POP 3 5.5". They have their own mini-site, and Alcatel POP 3 5.5" is even presented in the online store of the MTS operator.

But as is usually the case with Alcatel, when you try to find out a little more than the model name, confusion arises.

So on this moment there are two models in the POP 3 series: Alcatel POP 3 5" with a 5-inch diagonal screen and Alcatel POP 3 5.5" with a 5.5-inch screen. The official website describes them together, and one gets the feeling that the screen diagonal is the only difference. There are, however, alternatives sources of information, judging by which everything is much more cunning.

The models, one and the other, have variations built on different processors, which significantly affects their functionality. In addition, there are different variants colors, and the finish changes depending on the color: black and white - “leather-like”, golden, silver, pink and dark gray - “metal-like”.

Each of the models, Alcatel POP 3 5", and Alcatel POP 3 5.5" have an option on the Snapdragon 210 chipset and on the MediaTek MT6580. In the case of Alcatel POP 3 5" they are called 5015X and 5015D, respectively; in Alcatel POP 3 5.5" they are called 5025X and 5025D.

Modifications built on the Snapdragon 210 (4-core, 1.1 GHz) support LTE, NFC and have one SIM card slot. Those on the MediaTek MT6580 (4-core, 1.3 GHz) do not support LTE and NFC, but there are two slots for SIM cards. The capacity of RAM in all cases is 1 GB, permanent memory is 8 GB, expandable.

The larger model, Alcatel POP 3 5.5", noticeably surpasses the younger one in terms of screen characteristics - 5.5" with HD resolution, has best cameras- 8-megapixel main and 5-megapixel front, quite capacious battery - 2910 mAh.

With the Alcatel POP 3 5" everything is much more modest: for a 5-inch diagonal the resolution of 480x854 cannot be called decent, the cameras are only 5 MP and 2 MP, and the battery is 1800 mAh. Not serious.

On sale on the Russian market in currently There is a 3G version of Alcatel POP 3 5.5", the one on the MediaTek MT6580. MTS offers the device for 7990 rubles in gold and silver colors.

Main characteristics of Alcatel POP 3 5.5":

Mobile devices from Alcatel have not previously been particularly popular. After a while, the situation changed little, and the company decided to release a model that would be in demand. Thus, it was presented Alcatel One Touch POP 3 5025D with attractive characteristics and an equally interesting price. Of course this is not the first budget model smartphone from Alcatel, it’s just that this particular model is capable of arousing the interest of a user who expects to purchase a good smartphone within $100. Alcatel POP 3 appeared on store shelves in the fall of 2015, and is sold at a price of 110 USD (price indicated at the time of writing the review).

The appearance of the device is simple and concise, but corresponds to modern trends. The body is made of plastic and well assembled. Some users note that the volume rocker and power button are located very well, they are easy to reach, given the dimensions of the case due to the large display.

Specifications Alcatel One Touch POP 3 5025D

The technical capabilities of a smartphone correspond to the minimum required to solve most problems of modern mobile device users.

CPU

The processor is a 4-core MediaTek MT6580 (1.3 GHz). Video chip - Mali-400 MP2. The smartphone demonstrates how it works good performance, which is sufficient for fast work applications. Almost all games that require hardware can run, however, for smooth operation it is necessary to reduce the picture quality. For example, GTA: SA runs stably at medium graphics settings. In the synthetic AnTuTu test, the Alcatel POP 3 5025D scores 20 thousand points.

Memory

The amount of RAM is 1 GB. For such a price you can’t expect anything more at the moment, however, this volume is enough for not particularly demanding users. The volume of the main drive for storing data and installing applications is 8 GB. More than 4 GB is available for use - there is more than enough memory for applications, and there will be room for “heavy” games. Support for memory cards up to 128 GB is declared.

Battery

A 2910 mAh battery allows the smartphone owner to stay connected all day. Despite the fact that the device does not belong to the “long-livers” category, most owners speak positively about its autonomy. It is also noted that Alcatel POP 3 charges faster than other smartphones with a battery of similar capacity.

The charge is enough for one day of normal use, and about 5 hours of continuous video playback. Enabling the energy-saving mode allows you to extend the device's standby time to 3-4 hours.

Camera

You won't be able to take serious pictures using the device. The 8 MP camera allows you to take more or less passable pictures in good daylight. In other cases, everything is sad. Autofocus is slow, even very slow. The video is recorded in FHD (1080p) format, and its quality is also not particularly stellar. The camera cannot be added to the list of shortcomings, since it fully corresponds to the price category of the smartphone.

And here front-camera 5 MP allows you to take not the worst portrait photos, and is well suited for video conferencing.

Display

The 5.5-inch display is the main pride of the Alcatel POP 3 5025D smartphone. The IPS matrix, bright colors and good viewing angles successfully complement the decent resolution of 1280 x 720. Of course, the display is not protected by damage-resistant glass, does not have anti-glare and other “premium” properties. However, it performs its functions unquestioningly and is well suited for web surfing, watching videos, playing games, etc.

Networking capabilities

A smartphone with 2 SIM cards can operate in 2G/3G networks. It has GPS support navigation, and A-GPS technology. Can be used as a navigator, since it finds satellites quite quickly.

Sound

The main speaker sound is relatively good and the sound is quite loud. As for the earpiece speaker, some users may have a model with a quiet or echoy speaker. However, the percentage of such cases is small; it is necessary to test the device before purchasing.

operating system

Alcatel POP 3 works on Android versions 5.1 Lollipop. Apart from the fact that the OS is quite fresh, there is nothing remarkable in the software part.

Pros and cons of Alcatel One Touch POP 3 5025D

pros

  • Display. Perhaps the only pride of a smartphone;
  • The price is reasonable and, in principle, corresponds to the capabilities of the device.

Minuses

  • The speaker may not be loud enough in some units;
  • The microphone has low sensitivity. You will have to speak louder than usual so that the interlocutor can hear clearly;
  • The proximity sensor does not always work correctly, so when placing the phone to the ear, the user runs the risk of inadvertently pressing something.

Our review of the Alcatel POP 3 smartphone
