Choosing a smartphone today is complicated by the widest number of brands and models with different functionality and, as a result, different prices. The market for budget devices and at an average price is especially full. For those who are wondering which manufacturer to give preference to and a smartphone with which characteristics to choose, we suggest considering the new product from Alcatel 3L 5034D, its technical characteristics, strengths and weaknesses.

Among the innumerable host of brands and lines, it is very difficult to understand which company is better, and even more so to choose your own. Many, without going deep, saving time, take what is more expensive (always better). And if you push aside stereotypes, take a closer look, approach competently, study the rating of high-quality cellular devices, you can become the owner of the best mobile unit for you in terms of price / quality.
Alcatel's models are growing in popularity. In August 2018, a new model appeared on the shelves - Alcatel 3L 5034D. She immediately found her buyer, 75% of the owners of the new phono-photo computer give flattering reviews about the quality of work. The average price is quite elevated - from 7,000 rubles. IT specialists in social networks called the model a smart smartphone with a lot of advantages and sensors. In this example, we will understand what is called and how it works.
There are two conditional groups of smartphones in the mobile-cellular market: iPhones / iPads from the Apple brand running on the iOC OS, and smartphones with the Android operating system. Android (operating platform) is a universal open system that you can customize for yourself. Thanks to this, different companies produce it, Alcatel is one of them. Accordingly, this branch is developing more dynamically than the dogmatic always expensive iPhone. For the price, the choice among them is much wider.
Another important difference: in android, no program will work until the owner gives permission: a paid call, for example, will not work. The iPhone will skip, then it will report that it was paid. A smartphone on an android is also distinguished by the fact that the owner himself configures the cellular (device): places icons (application buttons) on the screen, sets the brightness, volume, and changes the design. Conversations that their battery runs out faster are incorrect. It depends on what and how long the owner of the mobile phone has been doing - talked for 15 minutes or downloaded a movie from the Internet.
Having seen the advantages and benefits, we choose a smartphone. The newest in 2018 in the Alcatel lineup.
First, about the name, which has a bunch of numbers and letters. The first denotes the price family, the higher the number, the more expensive the device. Next is the letter index, which speaks of the coolness of the filling: the further the letter is from the beginning of the alphabet, the more powerful the device is. A cell with the number 7 will be more expensive than the third, and the letter "C", for example, simplifies the design compared to the "L".
It is easy to find an icon with a name on store shelves: firstly, a novelty, and secondly, the brand is actively developing. Back in 1973, when the first wireless telephone appeared, it weighed more than a kilogram and performed only one function - calling a subscriber. What does the modern 3L 5034D look like? The weight of the elegant smartphone is only 142 g, the thickness is 8.5 mm, slightly larger than a cell in a student's notebook. It is lighter, thinner, more compact than many of its popular counterparts. Plastic and tempered Japanese glass are lightweight materials.
An important selection criterion is tactile contact. Fashion innovations aren't just for style. Mobile is modern in design, but the practical side has not been forgotten. Model 3L 5034D is user-friendly: the plastic back cover is not smooth, the device will not slip out of your hands. In addition, it can be operated with one hand, it is narrow, lightweight. Clear, user-friendly interface (a set of tools for work: buttons, text fields, tips, switches ...)
How much you can do on a mobile device depends on the performance of the embedded processor. The number of cores and their frequency are important here. Dual cores are slow, they will slow down the work. Octa cores are very cool, but the price tag is also high. Good performance is provided by budget models with four cores, as in our case (MediaTek MT8735).
The device has an operating system Android 8.1. New design, improved autocomplete process, two new hardware function constants, improved notification section. Many other progressive features have been added in the updated operating system. It is important for us to know that the android of the new generation is the eighth.
Mobile phones with a built-in rechargeable battery are gaining more and more popularity. The 3L 5034D has just that. In this case, the design of a mobile phone is simpler and more reliable. This improves the aesthetics, makes it thinner, sometimes it saves: if the back panel opens when it falls, the battery will not fly out, the connection will not be interrupted.
More precise body assembly will be a big plus. A non-removable battery means no backlash, cracks, the case is protected from dust and moisture. The argument that when the battery is completely discharged it cannot be removed and replaced with a spare, is not relevant today. For these cases, there are off-line charging drives.
The battery capacity of our popular model is 3000 mAh. What does it mean? Until completely discharged, you can talk for 25 hours in a row! Even the absence of a nearby outlet will not bother much. Of course, this is an example from a test case. A comment from a real user: I worked five hours a day using 3G, the battery lasted 4 days on one charge, 4G - two days. Like an ordinary pipe, without Internet, satellites, it worked for 5 days until full discharge, an hour a day was used.
Battery life in standby mode is 320-460 hours, that is, 19 days. A full charge takes about four hours. For older people, this is enough for their grandchildren for useful activities and games too. The increased capacity may never be useful, but it will entail a serious rise in the price of the goods.
An important point: how much information this cell can store, how much it will arrive during work or play. Will we be able to store photo albums in it, exchange photos with friends, send interesting articles, audiobooks? Simply and easily! The quad-core processor will cope even if you simultaneously communicate via video communication and calculate the purchase price in grams using a calculator, sing karaoke and open a relative's photo gallery on social networks for viewing. The best internet speed will be provided by the built-in 4G module. This will come in handy for grandchildren for active games (computer, network strategies, for example).
Two gigabytes of RAM, 16 GB of internal memory, a slot (connector, slot) for memory cards - this is the brain of Alcatel 3L. It will store up to 128 gigs of information. This is a lot, so you can set duaL sim mode (two SIM cards) instead of microSD.Why two network companies or two numbers? Different tariffs, signal quality in different parts of the world, personal and work communications - you can't do without two cards. Android supports Nano-SIM.
Protective tempered ONEXT glass is one of the pleasant novelties. Reacts tolerably to the sun, the surface does not fade. The height and width of the case are pleasing with dimensions - 68.8 x 147.1 mm. The screen size is pleasantly surprising with the aspect ratio - 18: 9 (the brand name of such proportions is called FullView). The usual picture standard is 16: 9, TVs, laptops have this monitor size. With FullView, we got the opportunity to work simultaneously in two applications, to see texts and other information from sites without scrolling (more content-information is visible).
5.5-inch diagonal gives a wider view when shooting, the ability to watch wide-screen movies in full picture, is convenient for games. An important parameter is the image quality in pixels (resolution). What are these pixels, how many are needed? All that is visible on the screen are dots-pixels. The more there are, the brighter and better the picture will be. The one we choose is 720 by 1440 pixels. A 2K screen (HD resolution) for sharpness and amazing quality! There is, of course, 4K resolution, but this is already for filigree work in Photoshop. The offer is more expensive, but we really don't need it.
The display size is debatable. It is said that many people need a small one (less than five inches). We disagree! A large convenient screen will allow you to increase the font, read without an e-book. The dimensions also allow you not to lose your mobile phone in your bag.
The display is touch-sensitive, with automatic orientation: turn it on its side, the picture will also unfold. There are two of them in the device - internal and external. Multitouch (multitouch) - this function is present on all sensors. Moving your fingers over it, we open other windows, enlarge or reduce the picture. Multi-touch means that two or more touch points will work.
What pleasantly surprised experienced buyers in the new device? Position sensor, electronic compass, face unlock - these are just some of the useful widgets (applications that perform one function: clock, weather, camera ...). To understand where you are in the city, navigate the terrain by the cardinal points in the forest, turn on video communication with your family - these are useful widgets. The model contains search engines GPS and Glonass.
Convenient when one glance at the screen is enough to get started. Passwords, logins, invented so that a stranger could not use your cell phone. They are constantly forgotten, not recruited. Here, unlocking the display is done using face recognition! In half a second, high-precision technology will check 106 points of the face, make a decision whether to allow a person to access personal data or disconnect.
When creating a new version, the company took photography and video shooting very seriously. Today, most mobile cameras allow you to take high-quality photos, daytime shots are decently obtained even on low-budget phones. The battle is over the quality of night photography. The 3L 5034d has two cameras - rear and front. The main one is 13 megapixels, the front one is 5.
Get clear pictures and videos with phase detection autofocus, LED flash, 5-lens lens, f / 2.0 aperture. HDR technology delivers a brightness range that exceeds the capabilities of standard technologies. The main camera is capable of distinguishing 16.7 million colors.
Among the functions of the rear camera are panoramic shooting, electronic stabilization during shooting, autofocus, night mode, party mode, long exposure. Resolution - 1920 × 1080, up to 30 frames per second. There are "live" filters here, serial shooting, auto retouch is possible. Even a selfie album is provided. The front camera has a fixed focus, 84 ° wide-angle lens.Its recording quality is lower, but it works as a video player, participates in video calls, selfie sets.
Of the variety of functions and applications, speakerphone and voice dialing will be useful, for example, for the older generation. We call the name of the subscriber - the phone itself will send him a call. Speak the subscriber's number, the cell phone will write it down and dial it. There is no time to write a message, dictate, it will be printed and sent to the addressee. High-quality audio system, voice recorder, built-in speakers, microphone, allow you to talk, listen to the subscriber and even the radio.
There is a wireless connection Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, Internet. In this regard, the Alcatel 3L 5034D is a mini-computer that performs all its functions. And, of course, it is very important how cool the camera takes pictures day and night. Here is such a productive and useful assistant. The complete set of goods is standard: a device, a micro-USB cable with a comfortable cord length, an adapter for recharging, wired headphones, a key to open a card slot, a user manual, a warranty card. The warranty is 12 months.
Brand trends ... Yesterday, the owners of iPhones were considered the coolest. Today smartphones of different companies successfully squeeze the creator of the most expensive intercoms. Not even "how much does it cost?" the main thing here is an integrated approach: while improving technical indicators, do not increase the cost. So don't chase trends! The best smartphone is the one you have the money for. You can choose a wonderful sample from the budget range if you know what you need from it. Alcatel 3L 5034D, its modifications, are suitable in all respects for you and your grandchildren, at least.
