But one by one. I am a satisfied Nexus 4 user (previously HTC Desire, Sony Xperia Ray, Samsung Galaxy Nexus). Since I am professionally frontier worker, I have a dual SIM mobile phone wanted, as a second device. It should provide an updated Android, Dual Core, reasonable price and design. After a little search on the net, I came across the new equipment under the brand name Alcatel. Immediately came back memories of those ugly entry phones from the early 2000s. Since I have seen a few test videos I've purchased it. There is some confusion about the versions and equipment, even here on Amazon are not the details are correct.
1) Version 6030 has a sim slot, 4GB internal memory and a micro SD slot.
2.) version has two 6030D Micro SIM slot (Standard 2013), 16GB of internal memory (13GB free) and 1GB RAM
As the cell phone then there was and I some time have dealt with it, I was really surprised what you get here for 230!
Hardware
Whether the case is now made of aluminum or plastic with certain color pigments, I can not determine. Logically, both are possible, an iPhone 5 which is made of aluminum, costs in the production no 200. It feels definitely much quality than most plastic housing, especially from Samsung. I have the silver version and the smartphone simply acts significantly higher quality than we assume, because you do not have cheap plastic or chrome elements. Since the back is made of a part, creaks nothing! The processing is on a top level!
The mobile phone is very light, 110gr, on par with the iPhone 5, Galaxy S3 a 20gr weighs more. It is thinner, narrower, shorter than my Nexus 4 or Galaxy S3, with the same display size.
The non-removable battery has 1800mAh, with the dual-core chip and the display to get but still loosely over the day.
The display really surprised me the most. The viewing angle is great, the color great, the lighting very well. The slim shape of the cell phone is better in the hand than the Nexus 4. This one does not have the on screen buttons, but the buttons are mounted beneath, the full 4.7 "display Large standing surfing etc. available. Advantage the Nexus 4! Anyone looking hair in the soup, the place it at the bottom of the display, there you can see quite easily spotlight cone. The Dsiplay Despite the low resolution, but one perceives only with a magnifying glass, 5 stars!
The performance of 2x1GHz you can not compare with a current quad core course. The really one notices but only in direct comparison, when opening apps and etc. I'm talking about the perceived performance, these values are not measurable because it is milliseconds. With Android 4.1.1 the phone runs smoothly and fluently! One should check whether under battery, the CPU power control is off because it automatically activated when you restart the phone frequently.
The camera, I'm not a big clippers, I'll use the phone's camera for snapshots and to suck the 8MP Idol absolutely. Triggering is fast, the autofocus works. Is interesting for some perhaps, that one can use the Laustärketasten as a trigger.
Nice to have is also a blue LED Nenachritigungs which calls missed and informed news, but unfortunately is not configurable.
Me really bothers only the on / off switch on the top.
Software
Since I know the naked Android by Nexus 4, I noticed the idol to many similarities. The user interface was not so strong, we adapted at Samsung or HTC. I would say that the software was useful enhanced with many good ideas! I want to mention a couple of small points.
The quick functions the status bar are among the best that have seen so far. Brightness (3 levels), lighting (3 levels), auto rotation, WLAN, Wi-fi, Bluetooth, GPS, data connection, flight mode and the 4 profiles General, Silent, Meeting and volume can be controlled directly here.
The 3 touch buttons (back, home and recent apps) on the bottom part have dual functions, press and hold Home appears the Google Search or Google Now if you eingeschlatet it. If you press and hold the "App-key" open the options menu. I find this quite cleverly solved.
You can open the camera, the Telefonfuktion and SMS Benarichtungen directly from the lockscreen.
In the settings you can display the individual SIM cards "Data usage" not only but also the Wi-Fi usage.
Then there is the "gestures" a few nice features. You can set that the mobile phone when a call is muted by turning, the alarm when turning to Sleep provides, the music player switches to the next song by shaking or the screen locks to be him with his hand covering. All functions I have been tested and work.
You can select 4 tone profiles or create your own new ones.
"Battery" you can display additional turn in percent and on a power saving mode. I have this power-saving feature've ever made, but beware, if you restart the phone it is always enabled!
Under the "Time control" you can set whether and when the phone is completely off and on again.
You can activate and eaktivieren a quick start.
The App Drawer is divided into all applications downloaded and Widgets.
The mobile phone is well capable DLNA, so you can share content directly, plus there is also an app. I have not tried.
The mobile phone has an offline radio, the headset while lying.
The music player and the sound are ok.
Apps and Widgets
There are some good pre-installed thereby functions as Swiftkey, Antivir and a good widget for data usage. I have but everything was vorinstlaliert and is erasable runtergeschmissen.
There's an app for a cloud to make backup, but I do not need.
OfficeSuite I left it.
A useful file manager is preinstalled.
Apps like OneTouch Manager, SyncML Client, Wireless Keyboard, system updates, Media release, Tethering and Wi-Fi I do not need, or are basically double functions.
So what I was saying, the smartphone has condemned many for the price! A compelling hardware, a very chic design, a clean and useful advanced software and many functions! I have to be honest, I had very low expectations of Alcatel and the price, but I was really surprised at all points.
Those looking for a dual SIM mobile phone that offers something technically design and has a great 4.7 "screen that can strike without hesitation
