Features, Performance, and Reviews for the alcatel A7
Alcatel A7's size
The alcatel A7 is 3.0 inches (76.5 mm) wide, 6.0 inches (152.7 mm) tall, and 0.4 inches (9 mm) thick. I can just barely use it with one hand, so it may feel big to some people. In the case of the alcatel A7, it weighs about 164 oz (164 g). The weight is such that it's hardly noticeable even when using one-handed. However, some people may find it tiring to use for long periods.
In giving an overall rating to the alcatel A7, while it may be slightly difficult to hold, it shouldn't be much of a problem when considering its general strengths and weaknesses.
Alcatel A7's screen
The alcatel A7 has a 5.5 inch screen. The smartphone has a large, impressive screen, which allows you to enjoy photos and videos to the fullest. It is also very good for writing business documents and doing other work.
The screen of the alcatel A7 is extremely clear, and it's able to display everything from images to videos and even video game graphics in perfect clarity.
The CPU performance of alcatel A7
The processing power of the alcatel A7 is, at 1.5GHz+1.0GHz×8(OctaCore), relatively high. Its features would position it somewhere between high and mid-level among currently available smartphones, but it will be rather stress-free in terms of using most apps. Most 3D games that don't burn up too much memory should be playable to a satisfying degree for the most part. 2D games should be no problem at all.
The alcatel A7 has 3GB of RAM, so it has plenty of space. In rare cases this amount of RAM might not be sufficient, but there shouldn't be too much stress on the machine with this amount.
The alcatel A7 has the overall operating speed of a high-end smartphone, so it will hardly ever cause you trouble. But you might need to be careful when using heavy apps like 3D games a lot.
Alcatel A7's storage capacity
The alcatel A7 has 32GB of data storage, which is plenty for taking photos, but for people who frequently shoot videos or have lots of games installed, this may not feel like enough space.
Since the alcatel A7 is compatible with SD cards, you'll be able to easily expand your storage capacity; you won't need to worry about how much internal space it has.
The camera function of alcatel A7
The alcatel A7 has a 16 MP main camera that lets you take photos and videos in a quite high resolution. You may be a little dissatisfied with it in some situations, for example when you want to capture scenery in very high resolution or print out beautiful photos, but this should not be an issue you run into very often.
The alcatel A7 comes with a 8 MP pixel camera, which is a standard level. It's perfectly fine for selfies, but may be not as satisfying if you wish to take photos of large numbers of people, or make printouts.
The battery performance of alcatel A7
The alcatel A7 has a battery with a quite large capacity of 4000 mAh. Compared to other smartphones, the battery life of the alcatel A7 is very good and will no doubt satisfy all your needs. You won't have to worry about the battery even when you use the phone to watch videos or play games for hours on end.
Overall assessment of alcatel A7
The alcatel A7 is a high-performance smartphone. You're not likely to experience any inconvenience in general use.
