Alcatel has diversified its mobile sector to meet the needs of any user, from the most advanced to the most basic. In the latter case we have terminals like the Alcatel 1C, a phone almost 5 inch Android Go . It is a modest terminal in specifications since it is designed to be either the first Android phone of a user or for people who need the minimum.
The Alcatel 1C has everything you need to satisfy any first-time Android user. We are talking about a stock experience with Android Go, so we avoid the intrusion of proprietary applications in some terminals. It is built in materials that will withstand drops or bumps so we will not have to worry if we accidentally drop it. We tell you the main features of the Alcatel 1C.

Power, software and storage in the Alcatel 1C
We anticipated that the Alcatel 1C was a modest mobile and this is seen in its specifications. Inside its polycarbonate chassis we find a processor signed by Spreadtrum with four cores that have a speed of up to 1.3GHz which is accompanied by 1GB of RAM. As we can see, it will not be possible to move games or heavy applications, but Alcatel has not designed this terminal for this, but to work on a daily basis with basic use.
As for the storage section, we have 8GB of internal memory that can be expanded by microSD card, it only supports cards up to 32GB. The battery is 2000mAh so together with the processor and its 4.95-inch screen with 480 x 960p resolution and 18: 9 format, it should hold up perfectly all day. Its appeal is the operating system inside, we talk about Android GO . This operating system is the closest thing to stock, but intended for terminals that do not have much power, therefore, it is optimized to achieve more than adequate performance.
The connections section is well provided, we have bluetooth 4.1, GPS, LTE, microUSB. The button panel is on the right side, the volume control on the top and just below we find the lock and unlock button. The front does not have a design with reduced frames, but we do have an elongated screen format. At the back we find the camera and below the LED flash. We do not have a fingerprint reader or face unlock.
Alcatel 1C price and availability
