alcatel Tru
MetroPCS has added a new
cheap Android smartphone to its roster. It's the alcatel Tru, which
appears to be a rebadged version of the alcatel Pop 3 (5) that was first
released in late 2015.
This isn't anywhere near
the ZTE Zmax Pro in terms of specs. Then
again, it's much cheaper too. After a mail-in rebate, the alcatel Tru is yours
for just US$ 29.
So what do you get for
that measly amount of cash? Well, the Tru has a 5-inch 854x480 touchscreen, a 5
MP rear camera, a 2 MP front-facing unit, the Qualcomm Snapdragon 210 SoC (with
a 1.1 GHz quad-core Cortex-A7 CPU and Adreno 304 GPU), 1GB of RAM, 8GB of
expandable storage, 4G LTE support, and a 2,000 mAh battery. It runs Android
5.0 Lollipop.
So clearly this is no
spec champ, far from it in fact. But its price is meant to be its unique
selling point, after all.
