Alcatel Smart Tab 7



For those who are still interested in dedicated tablets, there’s the Alcatel Smart Tab 7, which is an affordable family tablet. It comes with a dedicated Kids Mode which supports app usage monitoring and weighs just 268 grams.

Upfront we have a 7-inch display with a 600x1024 resolution and 16:9 aspect ratio. There’s a 2MP selfie cam which should come in handy during video calls. The back features a single VGA shooter and a built-in kickstand. Under the hood, we have the quad-core MediaTek MT8167B chipset paired with 1.5GB RAM and 16GB storage which is expandable via microSD.

The software front is covered by Android 9 Pie with Alcatel’s custom UI on top. Battery-wise we're looking at a 2,580 mAh cell which charges over microUSB. The Alcatel Smart Tab 7 will be available later this year for € 79 (US$ 86).
