Alcatel One Touch Quatro

Never again – Very poor battery life. Not at all user friendly. The use of this phone has proved the most difficult of all of device of this type. Although 88 I am very computer literate and this phone has caused me great waste of time.

Only charges when it wants – After having this phone for a month, it only randomly charges. Had to reset it. The camera won't work on Facebook Messenger. Other than that it seems to work fine, plenty of storage. It takes very nice pictures and is of a light weight. If it wasn't for the charger issues, I'd be a happy consumer.  Show details

Frustrating at best – I got this after having to kill off my Nokia 6110 due to the closure of the 2G network. What a frustrating piece of electronic garbage. It's so called pre-emptive assistance is the most confusing and irritating thing I have had the misfortune to use. The touch pad is erratic and often won't respond. When frustration sets in and I get a bit… Read more

"forceful" on the screen, all of a sudden it will start to ring someone (Anyone) and then trying to stop it ha ha Have to turn the phone off. The phone will dial anyone and everyone at the slightest touch if you accidentally touch the wrong part of the screen. Frequent number redial?? What a joke, it puts all these numbers up for constant use and when trying to dial someone else, the phone tries to ring the previous call made. The pre-emptive spelling?? Almost as bad as Apples. Pity Nokia went down the drain... They made the best phones.

A perfect & easy to use mobile phone – I purchased this phone at my local Telstra shop as my prior phone no longer worked. It is new to me as a touch phone, I never did think much of them so never bought one until now. I guess it is a 4" screen, smaller than my wife's 5 or 5.5". I love it mostly as it is small enough to fit in my pocket and predicts words sensibly and logically. Rather… Read more

clever I'd say. I can put a memory card in if I want and it takes 2 SIM cards! An absolute bargain and perfect reception. Am highly pleased with it.

Very unreliable – The phone turns it's self on and off regardless of how much of battery it has left it won't let you install apps at random then sometimes it won't open the app either it constantly losers signal it over heats the most positive thing I can say is that it's sturdy I don't know how many times I have dropped it but it powers on  Show details

Cheap pre-pay phone – This phone is being offered by Boost Mobile as a cheap pe-pay phone for their network for $99 I brought this phone after loosing mine, I just needed a phone to get me by for few weeks while I ordered new phone from overseas retailer to get to me. Also handy to have spare sitting about in case someone in house needs it in the future. Okay… Read more

Now I don't normally buy phones and tablets from stores, way too expensive in stores, I buy online. But due to business can't be without one and thanks to my son for breaking our spare I had no choice. So just brought a phone that I knew would take and send phone calls and text okay, could quickly check email, calendar, to do list, take few quick notes, use as access point for internet for my tablet and hopefully run few apps until my new phone arrived. Can put up with just the basics for few weeks, but I do like having a phone with some grunt and slightly larger screen so don't have to pull tablet out as much. And big battery as I need it. I'm not a phone snob I usually have mid range phone with big battery for myself, my oldest son and wife have better phones than I usually have, as long as phone can do what I need without out lag and good screen and camera with big battery I am happy. So using a low end phone I was wondering how good it could be.

Battery life, on standby it surprising very good I do not know how long it would last on standby as I'm heavy user and keep battery well charged but I'm guessing it should last 24 to 36 hours on standby, even with few background apps running, but once start making calls or having screen on battery life is poor, this to be expected with such small battery, if heavy to medium user a charge will not last a full day, get a battery bank, you will need it, if light user the battery might see you through the day hopefully.

Screen is good, touch is 2 point, touch is very responsive, color balance is okay, I don't notice any pixels while using, colours are sharp and crisp, brightness levels are great, still just viewable under full sun. It is a good screen, basic but really good. I am very happy with the screen.

Cameras are very basic, they work, flash is okay, but do not expect good low light or night time photos, overall camera is useable and good for quick happy snaps.

Phone, reception on boost network which is Telstra is great, I rural rep and out and about the country side all the time dealing with black spots and in and out of service areas, reception is strong point of this phone.

WiFi reception is also really good, excellent range. Very happy

GPS, I don't know what type or brand the GPS is in the phone, I know it's cheap one but it appears to work very well, I use navigation app to find my way about outside mobile phone service areas, this GPS appears to work extremely well so far and happy with its performance so far.

Speaker is okay, I do not use it to pay music but I use speaker phone function allot and it passes for this.

Proformance and memory, well this cheap low memory phone using cheap old outdated but still relevant and useable CPU and GPU. Plus they only running a 32 bit version of Android 5.0, which is a shame, 64 bit would improve the performance. Benchmarks are poor, yes this phone will run the social apps, I use Facebook messenger allot with friends with no issues and with a few other social apps, high end games forget it, yes this phone will run them but not playable. This not a gaming phone. I installed an app called Clean Master Lite, I find if too much running in background this phone lags horribly, I use Clean Master to clear memory allot to keep acceptable performance from this phone which I have too do many times each day. If keep memory clean, running social apps and few basic games this phone is fine. Keep 300 to 400k of the 1GB RAM free and this will help lag down greatly.

The phone feels good in hand and is light, made of plastic but does not feel cheap, good quality build, very Jean pocket friendly, looks okay too.

Bottom line this is low end $99 phone, it works very well as a phone and as a hotspot for my tablet, screen is very good for viewing and very responsive to the touch. If you don't go overboard on apps this phone is quite okay, don't expect great proformance running apps but it does the job and the apps are very usable. Great kids first phone.

honestly I brought my youngest son a phone for $ 98 incuding delivery by air mail (Took 17 days to get here) from GeekBuying.com with 3000 mha battery, 5.5 inch screen, 2Gb ram, 16Gb memory, better camera, still not great but lest high end games playable and performance is very good not just passable.

So if need phone today and can't wait, just looking for basic smart phone that will run few apps like I am while I have to use this phone, worth looking at, if can wait go to online store will get allot better phone for same price.

Hopefully my replacement phone arrives next week, this phone okay, it got me out of trouble, but I will find larger screen handy. I do need more grunt from the CPU and battery ........ I am a heavy user due to work, my car is my office, battery life so important to me. But I be fair, this is quite a useable phone for light users.
