The Alcatel 5 features a unique looking back cover
design with brushed metal-like plastic body. In front, it features an 18:9
screen with 5.7-inch size, HD+ resolution, and slim bottom chin. But, it has thick top bezels to
house the selfie dual-camera setup, earpiece, sensors, and selfie LED flash.
The main selling point of this device are the two
cameras in front. It goes with a 13MP f/2.0 primary selfie camera paired with a
5MP f/2.4 120-degree super wide-angle w/ LED flash. It simply means that it can
shoot super wide-angle selfies when you active the secondary selfie camera. It
should be great for groufies as you can fit a lot of people in one frame.
As expected, it also has face beauty and a lot of
filters to try. It also uses the selfie cameras to take high-precision face
unlock with 106 facial points. The handset also goes 2GB RAM and 16GB expandable storage. The
battery capacity is rated at 3,000mAh. It also has a 12MP primary shooter,
fingerprint scanner at the back, 4G LTE, and dual SIM slots.
Sadly, the handset still runs with the ageing 64-bit
MT6750 octa-core processor with Mali-T860 GPU and Android 7.0 Nougat OS.
