Alcatel POP 4 UK SIM-Free Smartphone

Product Information

stand-by time is the longest time a battery charge will last, if the device is not used but is constantly connected to the 2G cellular network. As for battery life, that’s not much better. The Alcatel Pop 4 achieved 9hrs 32mins in our battery benchmark, which is an improvement over Pixi 4 (5)’s 8hrs 17mins but is still far behind the impressive 12hrs 55mins achieved by the Vodafone Smart Prime 7. On the plus side, the Pop 4’s 2,500mAh battery can be removed, which allows you to carry around a spareor two for use in emergencies. talk time is the time period a battery charge will last, if one is constantly talking on the phone in a 3G cellular network. One of the main characteristics of the display is its type/technology, on which depends its performance.

A CPU core is the processor unit, which executes software instructions. Presently, besides single-core processors, there are dual-core, quad-core, hexa-core and so on multi-core processors. They increase the performance of the device allowing the execution of multiple instructions in parallel. The color depth of the display is also known as bit depth. It shows the number of bits used for the color components of one pixel. Information about the maximum number of colors the screen can display. One of the main characteristics of the cameras is their image resolution. It states the number of pixels on the horizontal and vertical dimensions of the image, which can also be shown in megapixels that indicate the approximate number of pixels in millions. Information about the height, i.e. the vertical side of the device when it is used in its standard orientation. The Pop 4’s screen is reasonably bright, too. I tested it at 414cd/m2, which means it’s good enough to be read comfortably in most outdoor conditions – aside from direct, bright sunlight – without having to shade it with your hand. Colour rendition isn’t quite so impressive, with 79.30% coverage of the sRGB colour gamut. In real-world use, this translates to a pretty good-looking screen, but one where the colours are a little dull and pale compared with the best smartphone screens in the business.

CPU is the Central Processing Unit or the processor of a mobile device. Its main function is to interpret and execute instructions contained in software applications. Information about the width, i.e. the horizontal side of the device when it is used in its standard orientation.

The capacity of a battery shows the maximum charge, which it can store, measured in mili-Ampere hours. The instruction set architecture (ISA) is a set of commands used by the software to manage the CPU's work. Information about the set of instructions the processor can execute. W-CDMA (Wideband Code Division Multiple Access) is an air interface used by 3G mobile networks. It is one of the three different UMTS interfaces together with the TD-SCDMA and the TD-CDMA. The standard provides faster data transfer speeds and allows more users to connect to the network simultaneously.Surprisingly, the Pop 4’s performance isn’t as good as the cheaper Alcatel Pixi 4 (5). That phone with its MediaTek processor felt much more responsive when I reviewed it and it had higher Geekbench 4 scores. In my test shots, I found the Pop 4 held its own in outdoor shots. If you want the best image quality you’ll need to shoot in HDR, as in standard mode images looked washed out and overexposed with inaccurate colours. However, shooting in HDR does require a steady hand and, due to its sluggish performance, the Pop 4 does take a few additional seconds to process HDR images. UMTS stands for Universal Mobile Telecommunications System. Based on the GSM standard, it is deemed as a 3G mobile network standard. It has been developed by the 3GPP and its major advantage is the provision of greater bandwidth and spectral efficiency, due to the W-CDMA technology.

Features

talk time is the time period a battery charge will last, if one is constantly talking on the phone in a 2G cellular network. Information about additional software and hardware features of the rear camera which improve its overall performance. The Pop 4 comes with Android 6 Marshmallow out of the box. Even though it isn’t running Android 7 Nougat, I was pleased to see it come with a minimal number of preinstalled apps, ensuring a reasonably clean Android experience. I found its low-light performance poor, but this is to be expected with a phone at this price. Again, its HDR performance in low light brings out missing details and produces a much more pleasing image. I found its rear-facing flash added a blue hue to the image, making it look washed out, but its ability to light a very dark scene is useful. Information about the number of pixels per centimeter (ppcm) or per inch (ppi) of the display. The higher the pixel density, the more detailed and clearer is the information displayed on the screen.

The phone’s internals are virtually identical to the Vodafone Smart Prime 7, and its performance very similar, but for a little extra the Prime 7 grants you much better battery life and a sleeker design. On the other hand, the cheaper Alcatel Pixi 4 (5) feels more responsive. In case you do not want to erase the data from the device, you can try to restart the alcatel Pop 4.. The L2 (level 2) cache memory is slower than L1, but has a larger capacity, instead, which allows it to cache more data. Just like L1, it is much faster than the system memory (RAM). If the CPU does not find the data needed in L2, it proceeds to look for them in the L3 cache memory (if there is such) or in the RAM.RAM (Random-Access Memory) is used by the operating system and all installed applications. Data in the RAM is lost after the device is turned off or restarted. Before doing a factory reset, we recommend deleting all the accounts on the device, specifically it is useful to unlink the Google account if you are going to sell, donate, or give away your Pop 4. This will avoid problems for the new user, as some newer devices include a functionality called FRP (Factory Reset Protection) that requires the same Google account or PIN code with which the alcatel Pop 4 was initially configured when factory resetting a device. Design Information about the dimensions and weight of the device, shown in different measurement units. Body materials, available colors, certifications. Width Information about the process technology used in manufacturing the chip. The value in nanometers represents half the distance between elements that make up the CPU.
