Product Review

Initially unveiled through AT&T's prepaid GoPhone lineup, the 4G-ready Alcatel Ideal offers an 8GB memory extendable by up to 128GB, a 5-megapixel camera with integrated Polaroid filters, and a middling 4.5-inch FWVGA (854 x 480) display. Its hardware specs include a 1.1GHz quad-core Snapdragon 210 processor, a 1GB RAM, and a mediocre (for a 2016-released Android) 1780mAh battery that scores only 360 minutes of talk time. Topping it off are a 2-megapixel front-facing sub-camera and an M3/T3 hearing aid rating.
