The Alcatel 1C is a cheap 2019 that is an Amazon’s Choice product because although it doesn’t have the best technical aspects and isn’t the best phone in the world, at less than £50 it is certainly an excellent value for money smartphone.
Design
The Alcatel 1C has a 5.0 inches display with an 18:9 aspect ratio. The screen is IPS LCD, which isn’t anything special but does the job. The phone has a ~72% screen-to-body ratio, which means it isn’t a bezel-less display. However, it still does the job. Above the screen, you will also find your phone speaker and 2MP selfie camera with an LED flash.
On the right side of the phone, you will find the volume keys and the power key. On the left side, you won’t find any buttons or ports. It would have been better if they put the volume buttons on the left side, but that’s just our opinion. On top of the phone, you will find a standard 3.5mm audio jack port. The audio jack should support any modern headphones.
On the bottom of the phone, you will find the charging port, which is a MicroUSB 2.0 port. There is nothing special about the charging port as it…
