As a flip phone, Alcatel Go Flip 4 offers advanced features. The device is running a 1.3GHz Quad-core, Qualcomm Snapdragon 215. This makes the phone navigation smooth. The fact that a Snapdragon processor is integrated into this flip phone is something worth considering. However, Alcatel Go Flip 4 is a feature phone with some limitations. Thus, it doesn’t remind us anything about an Android phone or iPhone. The device is surprisingly able to play games specifically optimized for flip phones. It’s good to know that we can kill time by playing simple quizzes and trivia. The Go Flip runs on a Qualcomm Snapdragon 210 processor, like other modern feature phones. The T-Mobile version has LTE bands 2/4/12, and the Sprint version has 25/26/41. I didn't have any RF problems indoors or out, and T-Mobile users will see a significant coverage advantage with this phone over one that relies primarily on 1900MHz 2G. Both models support Wi-Fi calling, on 2.4GHz networks only, and both have GSM/UMTS for international roaming. (According to Sprint, its model only roams within North America because of Sprint business policies.)
Alcatel Go Flip 4 Review: A Modern Touch to The Classic Flip
Google Assistant is good for more than just messages; hold down the button and ask it a question, and it will respond with Google answers. I wish it could be triggered from the action button on a Bluetooth headset, though—you actually have to hold down the center button on the phone's D-pad to make it work. It's funny: The older Go Flip 2 also has a Snapdragon 210, but it doesn't perform nearly as well as the new model does. Alcatel said that KaiOS 2.5 is much more efficient than the KaiOS 1.0 on the older phone, and it really shows. I really wanted to like the Go Flip because KaiOS has so much potential. An easily extensible, HTML5-based feature phone OS could bridge some of the gaps between smart and feature phones, keeping up with new talk and messaging services as they arise. It's a great idea. Alcatel also told me this phone will have—get this—50 percent better standby battery life than the previous model, which had 12 days of quoted standby time, but which many buyers said had more like three days after the fact. That's without increasing the device size. The 1,350mAh battery is still removable, too. Voice dialing is missing. At least you can define ringtones by caller, and use your own songs as ringtones if you like.
The phone works as a hotspot on T-Mobile but, oddly, not on AT&T. Don't expect major hotspot speeds: The Qualcomm Snapdragon 210 processor here only supports relatively slow Category 4 LTE, so you'll get 10-20Mbps LTE speeds rather than much higher. You can play videos stored on your microSD card, but they look grainy on the small screen. Comparisons and Conclusions The less said about the phone's single 2-megapixel camera, the better. Photos in even decent indoor light tend to be blurry and indistinct. Outdoors, everything looks slightly out of focus. Videos are washed-out 352-by-288 frames. There is also no front facing camera, so don't expect to do video calling here.

We also thought that the phone didn’t have enough tools to make our lives easier. It isn’t smart enough, especially for the next generation of expressive users who constantly want more than just being connected to people.
Another benefit is that when we accidentally drop our phone in the water, we can dry it off by opening the battery cover so it won’t affect other components inside the phone. TCL Communication claimed that their Go Flip 4 battery can last up to 18 days standby or 12 hours talk time. We believe that the phone battery lasts that long because we might only use it for basic activities and nothing heavy. Is the Alcatel Go Flip 4 a good phone?
