Alcatel OneTouch POP Astro Review & Specs

Alcatel OneTouch POP Astro is a little outdated Android cellphone, which counts with a 4.5-inches multi-touch screen, a quite powerful CPU running at 1.5 gigahertz, and two cameras, a 5 megapixels back side camera and a 0.3 MP front facing camera. We will get a better understanding of this phone’s pros when we get into specific details.

The Alcatel OneTouch POP Astro is available just in color white. The Alcatel OneTouch POP Astro is quite a compact phone, taking into account that it presents a 4.5″ screen and it only has 5.23 inches long and 2.57 inches wide. The Alcatel OneTouch POP Astro is thin and stilized, with a thickness of just 0.39 inches. The Alcatel OneTouch POP Astro isn’t very light for a phone this size, with a weight of 5.11 oz.

This device is powered by a quite powerful CPU ticking at 1.5 GHz, included in a MediaTek MT6732 system chip with 1 GB of RAM memory. The Alcatel OneTouch POP Astro counts with a passable 4 GB internal memory, which is fine considering that it also has an SD memory slot to store songs, photographs and videos.

This cellphone features two cameras, a 5 MP back facing camera and a 0.3 MP front side camera. It also shoots 1920×1080 Full HD videos at 30 frames per second. In addition, the camera has geo tagging and flash.

The Alcatel OneTouch POP Astro has a nice 4.5 inches screen with a 960 x 540 resolution, which makes all photos and videos look colorful and brightful. Its screen uses TFT capacitive technology, and allows multi-touch for gestures like pinch and zoom.

This cellphone counts with a medium 2000 mAh Li – Ion removable battery that can keep this phone running for several hours. Alcatel informs a stand by time of 250 hs and a talk time of 8.5 hours for this device.

This phone features WiFi connectivity (which it can provide to other devices acting as a mobile hotspot), LTE (4G) high performance internet connection or fast 3G internet connection, supported by HSPA, HSUPA and EDGE technologies. This phone uses a Micro SIM card to connect to GSM networks.

The Alcatel OneTouch POP Astro also includes many interesting features like Bluetooth, FM Radio, GPS Navigation and NFC, and multiple sensors like Light Sensor, Proximity Sensor, Accelerometer and Compass.
