Alcatel 3V smartphone in Spectrum Blue

IF you’re looking for a social media friendly smartphone that’s affordable, then this Alcatel device in glossy high-shine Spectrum Blue, rivals many of the costly premium brands.
The lightweight device has many of the same features as top-of-the-range devices such as the iPhone XR, including Face Recognition to unlock the phone and a handy Fingerprint Scanner.
Other top tech includes a good 16GB capacity for storing photos and videos, a 12MP rear camera for crisp family photos and a 6-inch HD screen.

The selfie cam can be a little dull so be sure to increase the brightness levels before using.
Although it has plenty of storage space for apps, it costs around a tenth of the cost of premium devices, costing £129.99 at Carphone Warehouse.
The Alcatel 3V also has a 18:9 screen ratio meaning it has a display that is taller than a typical 16:9 screen and as a result, provides you with a bigger screen in a smaller device for a better grip.

Available from Carphone Warehouse for £129.99
