Design, screen and ergonomics
The Alcatel One Touch Pixi First mobile phone is made in the form of a monoblock. The diagonal of its TFT screen with touch input is 4 inches modest by today's standards. But the resolution is 480x800. The density of dots on the screen is equal to 233ppi in this case, and it is problematic to distinguish a single point on the display surface with the naked eye. Under the screen, as expected, three main control buttons are immediately displayed. Above, above the display on the front panel, the speaker is displayed. The peephole of the second chamber is located in the same place. The control buttons (provide device lock and volume control) are grouped on the right side of the device. On the upper edge are the device’s wired ports - MicroUSB and a 3.5-mm audio jack. On the bottom of the gadget there is only a conversational microphone. On the back of the device there is a main camera, supplemented by a single LED backlight. There are also loud speakers.
Gadget Hardware Settings
Customer reviews of the Alcatel One Touch Pixi First highlight primarily its very modest technical specifications. The central processing unit "Spectrum 7731" installed in this device boasts the presence of 4 computing units per architecture base under the code designation A7. The clock frequency of each of them at the most intense load can increase to 1.2 GHz. For the majority of undemanding hardware resources of the device, this is quite enough. The amount of RAM in this smart phone is 512 MB. System processes in this case use about 300 MB, and the user, when solving his tasks, can count on the remaining 215 MB. Integrated storage capacity is 4 GB. For the user's needs, only 2 GB is provided, and the rest is pre-installed system software. You can increase the amount of installed memory by installing a memory card, the maximum capacity of which in this case can reach 32 GB. The main camera has a 5 megapixel sensor, and the front camera has a 2 megapixel sensor. In the first case, at a normal level of lighting, very good pictures are obtained. But the capabilities of the second camera on the front panel of the gadget will only be enough for video calls. "Selfies," obtained with its help, will not be of very good quality. A similar situation develops in this case with the so-called "avatars", which most owners of mobile devices do using the front camera. A 2MP sensor for this task is also clearly not enough and their quality will be below average. An impressive set of interfaces is supported by this device. It includes:
- The main wireless way to receive and send information is Wi-Fi.
- The device can function in GSM and 3G networks. In the latter case, only a SIM card installed in slot No. 1 can work in 3G networks.
- To connect a wireless audio headset or exchange data with similar mobile devices, this smartphone is equipped with bluetooth.
- The navigation capabilities of a mobile phone are implemented using a GPS transmitter.
- The main wired interface is MicroUSB. Using it, you can connect your smartphone to a PC or charge the battery.
- To connect external acoustic wire systems, the gadget provides a typical 3.5 mm audio port.
Let's continue the description of the gadget.
