Alcatel POP 4 UK SIM-Free Smartphone

Product Information

The battery type is determined by its structure and more specifically, by the chemicals used in it. There are different battery types and some of the most commonly used in mobile devices are the lithium-ion (Li-Ion) and the lithium-ion polymer battery (Li-Polymer). talk time is the time period a battery charge will last, if one is constantly talking on the phone in a 2G cellular network.

In my test shots, I found the Pop 4 held its own in outdoor shots. If you want the best image quality you’ll need to shoot in HDR, as in standard mode images looked washed out and overexposed with inaccurate colours. However, shooting in HDR does require a steady hand and, due to its sluggish performance, the Pop 4 does take a few additional seconds to process HDR images. The capacity of a battery shows the maximum charge, which it can store, measured in mili-Ampere hours. I found its low-light performance poor, but this is to be expected with a phone at this price. Again, its HDR performance in low light brings out missing details and produces a much more pleasing image. I found its rear-facing flash added a blue hue to the image, making it look washed out, but its ability to light a very dark scene is useful. The Pop 4’s screen is reasonably bright, too. I tested it at 414cd/m2, which means it’s good enough to be read comfortably in most outdoor conditions – aside from direct, bright sunlight – without having to shade it with your hand. Colour rendition isn’t quite so impressive, with 79.30% coverage of the sRGB colour gamut. In real-world use, this translates to a pretty good-looking screen, but one where the colours are a little dull and pale compared with the best smartphone screens in the business.A Qualcomm Snapdragon 210 chipset is found within the Pop 4, which is the very same chip found within the Vodafone Smart Prime 7. This budget phone isn’t aimed at gamers: its quad-core 1.1GHz Cortex-A7 processor, Adreno 304 GPU and 1GB of RAM provide a sluggish experience with advanced games. Information about the width, i.e. the horizontal side of the device when it is used in its standard orientation. Estimated volume of the device, calculated from the dimensions provided by the manufacturer. Applies for devices in the form of a rectangular parallelepiped. The front-facing 5-megapixel camera also has a flash, which is welcome, but it doesn’t add an awful lot of illumination or improve the quality of images in low light, which tend to look pretty smeary and muddy. The video quality isn’t great either, with the Pop 4 only able to capture moving images at 720p and 30fps. Alcatel Pop 4 review: Verdict A CPU core is the processor unit, which executes software instructions. Presently, besides single-core processors, there are dual-core, quad-core, hexa-core and so on multi-core processors. They increase the performance of the device allowing the execution of multiple instructions in parallel.

The rear cameras of mobile devices use mainly a LED flash. It may arrive in a single, dual- or multi-light setup and in different arrangements. Surprisingly, the Pop 4’s performance isn’t as good as the cheaper Alcatel Pixi 4 (5). That phone with its MediaTek processor felt much more responsive when I reviewed it and it had higher Geekbench 4 scores. Information about the height, i.e. the vertical side of the device when it is used in its standard orientation. System on Chip (SoC) A system on a chip (SoC) includes into a single chip some of the main hardware components of the mobile device. SoC

The L2 (level 2) cache memory is slower than L1, but has a larger capacity, instead, which allows it to cache more data. Just like L1, it is much faster than the system memory (RAM). If the CPU does not find the data needed in L2, it proceeds to look for them in the L3 cache memory (if there is such) or in the RAM. UMTS stands for Universal Mobile Telecommunications System. Based on the GSM standard, it is deemed as a 3G mobile network standard. It has been developed by the 3GPP and its major advantage is the provision of greater bandwidth and spectral efficiency, due to the W-CDMA technology. In photography, the Field of view (FoV) depends not only on the focal length of the lens but also on the sensor size. It is derived from the lens's angle of view and the sensor's crop factor. The lens's angle of view is a measure of the angle between the two farthest separated points within the frame measured diagonally. Simply put, this is how much of a scene in front of the camera will be captured by the camera's sensor.

As for battery life, that’s not much better. The Alcatel Pop 4 achieved 9hrs 32mins in our battery benchmark, which is an improvement over Pixi 4 (5)’s 8hrs 17mins but is still far behind the impressive 12hrs 55mins achieved by the Vodafone Smart Prime 7. On the plus side, the Pop 4’s 2,500mAh battery can be removed, which allows you to carry around a spareor two for use in emergencies.In case you do not want to erase the data from the device, you can try to restart the alcatel Pop 4.. stand-by time is the longest time a battery charge will last, if the device is not used but is constantly connected to the 2G cellular network. One of the main characteristics of the cameras is their image resolution. It states the number of pixels on the horizontal and vertical dimensions of the image, which can also be shown in megapixels that indicate the approximate number of pixels in millions.
