Overview Alcatel Fierce XL

Android version and market relevance

The long-awaited announcement of a new smartphone from the manufacturer Alcatel, which took place in October 2015 (in our catalog you can see all smarphones of 2015). This is a new model Alcatel Fierce XL — smartphone works on Android 5.1 Lollipop, which does not receive software updates and will forever remain on the old version of Android. If this does not suit you, then be sure to check the selected ones DROID-smartphones in our catalog. These are models that work on the latest version of the Android OS or are updated on it.

Alcatel Fierce XL does not support two SIM cards, but if it′s important and necessary for you, we advise you to look in the directory smartphones with 2 sim cards. On this page, you can definitely pick up a good current model, which will suit you perfectly.

Screen, body and battery

The screen Alcatel Fierce XL is made using the IPS LCD technology and has a diagonal 5.5 inches. Such a large main touch screen certainly affects the dimensions of the case. Also inside the case is a battery with a capacity of 2 500 mAh.

Main camera and selfie camera

A few words about the cameras that have Alcatel Fierce XL. The main camera, located on the back, received 8 MP. The main camera we would rate her 3 out of 5, because at the moment there are cameraphones with much better cameras.

The frontcamera is also in Alcatel Fierce XL. It is located in front of the screen and has its own 2 MP, which for qualitative selfies it will be not enough, therefore we advise to look others selfie smartphones in our catalog.

Processor and Internal Memory

The smartphone performance is affected by a lot of factors, and even more so on the android-smartphone, where the developer of the Android operating system and the device manufacturer are absolutely different companies and each develops with its strategy in the market. As a result, in the smartphone you get a hodgepodge: it′s like a “clean” Android, but with a shell from the manufacturer; as though only the necessary applications, but also many unnecessary from the manufacturer. Very often Android-installed apps by default, which you do not even use, are still running and working, they occupy part of the RAM and processor time of your smartphone. This slows the work of other applications and the battery charge is wasted.

So, in Alcatel Fierce XL is installed 4-core processor on the chipset Snapdragon 210. As for RAM, the memory module is used here 2 GB.

You can store your photos, videos, music and applications both on the built-in smartphone memory, and on memory cards microSD up to 32 GB. You are only available 16 GB built-in memory, so you need to be more careful about what you store on the device.

Price for Alcatel Fierce XL: buy or not to buy?

If you are looking for a camera phone, then this is not the model that suits you. If you need a smartphone with a huge touch screen, then this is not the model you are looking for. If you are looking for selfie smartphone (smartphone with a very cool front camera for shooting selfie), then this is not the model you need to buy.

Let′s step back from the lyrics and talk about money. Selling Alcatel Fierce XL will begin in November 2015 at a price of $130. There are analogues of this model from its price segment “Affordable smartphones from $100 to $200”, you can choose any smartphone for the same money.

We recommend buying a new smartphone only from trusted sellers. And preferably before buying the phone hold in your hand, to feel the dimensions of his hand and look at all of its external signs (build quality and materials). Then turn it on and check the touch screen (there should be no “broken” pixels, color gradient), open several built-in applications to assess the speed and smoothness of the interface. Be sure to launch the “Camera” application and take a few photos and videos, then view them (there should be no artifacts or traces of dust on the lens or glass).
