CES 2021 is in full swing and TCL launched three budget phones under its Alcatel brand as well as an affordable 7-inch tablet. All three phones are powered by MediaTek’s Helio A25 chipset, pack multi-cam setups and feature waterdrop notch displays.
Alcatel 3L (2024)
The Alcatel 3L features a 6.52-inch LCD with FHD+ resolution and an 8MP selfie cam. It has 4GB RAM and 64GB storage which is further expandable via microSD cards. You get a 48MP primary camera alongside two 2MP modules for macro shots and depth data. There’s also a convenient rear-mounted fingerprint scanner.
You’re looking at a 4,000 mAh battery with 10W charging over micro-USB, but on the software side, you get the latest Android 11.
