alcatel 3L

The 3L is just a small step down from the alcatel 3. You get virtually the same body - 151.1 x 69.7 x 7.99 mm, with 4 grams or so of less weight on it. Since the plastic build is the same and so are the 5.94-inch, 19.5:9, 270 x 1560 IPS display and 3,5000 mAh we can only assume the 4 grams are lost on the extravagant paint job. Kidding aside, the 3L comes in either Anthracite back or Metallic Blue. Not quite as eye-catching as the gradients on its sibling.

Other notable downgrades include a quad-core Snapdragon 429 chipset (12nm, 4xCortex-A52 @ 1.8GHz), coupled with 2GB of RAM and 16GB of expandable storage. Connectivity is pretty much identical between the two, except for NFC, which was cut from the 3L. The fingerprint reader might also be missing on certain markets.

Camera setup has been carried over in full, though on both sides - 13MP + 5MP on the back and 8MP for selfies. That also includes added features like bokeh and post-shot re-focus, as well as the AI scene detection. The alcatel 3L will also be available in Q2 this year and will start at EUR 139.
