2015 Nexus Alcatel's $250 Idol 3 , Now Google sold the Nexus 4 and Nexus 5, two phones with all of the above at very attractive prices from around $200-$399 unlocked. Then in 2014, Google switched gears with the Nexus 6. It's an excellent phone, but its price isn't very Nexus-like: $649 for an unlocked model.
And Fans got upset, but Google's reasoning was this: Android no longer needed a hero phone anymore; the 4 and 5 did the job as blueprints for device makers and now its mission was complete.
Wow, makes us terkenjut when reading this news, let's friend, go read his news to bottom......
The
2015 Nexus Alcatel's $250 Idol 3 even looks like a Nexus phone. Its gentle curves, slim 0.29-inch profile and beautiful high-res 5.5-inch display with full HD resolution feel like the natural evolution of the Nexus 4's industrial design. The Idol 3's plastic is brushed to appear as if it's made of metal. It certainly no Galaxy S6, but it's not flimsy, either. The phone's also really light.
For the Nexus We have only two complaints about the design: The power button is located too high up on the left side of the phone. The same goes for the volume rocker on the right side. They're both positioned in a way that makes reaching them difficult. If there's one thing we learned with the
LG G Flex 2,
it's that having the newest and fastest chips don't define a smartphone
anymore. A faster processor with more cores and tons of RAM might look
great on a comparison chart, but they don't always tell the whole story
in real-world usage.
The
2015 Nexus Alcatel's $250 Idol 3 has an octa-core Qualcommm Snapdragon 615 processor, 2GB of RAM and 16GB of internal storage (expandable up to 128GB via microSD). Geeks will point and sneer at its meager specs, but to the truth is, it's powerful enough to do everything with aplomb.
For the most part, the Idol 3 runs a near stock version of Android 5.0.2 Lollipop. Unlike other phones, Alcatel didn't modify the user interface in any relevant way. I actually like the Fisher-Price look to the icons and the animation changes — they're playful and approachable.
The phone is speedy and while I did notice a few hiccups during my testing, they didn't impact usage. (Every phone freezes up every once in a while.) All you need to know is this phone is butter-smooth. The 2,910 milliamp-hour (mAh) battery is also a top performer — it lasted a full day and sometimes a day and a half on a single charge.
