VERDICT:

ALCATEL has launched this mobile in the Indian Market with the aim of providing a user friendly and attractive device. But, they fail in doing so.

The OS provided too is Jelly Bean which is outdated. The camera provided is a sole camera at rear that too of just 2.0 MP. This does not live up to the expectations of any user. Internal memory is just 4GB which is insufficient in this world of large numbers of applications, games and music. Though, this mobile is placed at a very low price, it fails to live up to the expectations of a user. The check out these two phones as well: Samsung Galaxy Star Pro and Lenovo A369i.
