Alcatel 3

The phone out of the box compared to some is very light and does not come with headphones like some of the well known more expensive brands. However don't let this put you off, the lightness is actually a good thing as some of my larger more expensive phones make my jacket really heavy. I would not put it in a trouser pocket as it does not feel substantle enough to not break, but I tend to use jacket or shirt pockets anyway.

This particular phone we gave to our 8 year old to try, he'd had a samsung s7 before and we thought he would love this due to it's great two tone colours on the back.

The screen is responsive along with the snappy cpu which seems to handle everything he had to throw at it. The buttons all felt positive and the design overall was impressive.

It was easy to setup with his google play account which meant all his apps were ready and installed pretty quickly. He found handling the lighter phone much more comfortable than his old phone, however his s7 had a much higher resolution screen and more powerful processor.

For the price this phone offers great value for money and works extremly well, this is currently our favourite budget phone.
