Editorial report

alcatel 1 (2021) technical sheet

The Alcatel 1 (2021) suits anyone looking for a simple, lightweight phone for basic tasks. At 134 g, it is among the lightest phones of its time. Its 5-inch display keeps the handset compact, but the 215 ppi density is among the lowest of that period. The body is 9.8 mm thick, making it thicker than most phones launched around the same time.

This version pairs 1 GB of RAM with 8 GB of storage, both among the lowest capacities of its time. A MediaTek MT6739 processor and eMMC 5.1 storage complete the entry-level setup. The 5 MP camera is among the lowest-resolution cameras of the period and records video at 720p at 30 fps. The 2000 mAh battery and 5 W charging are also among the lowest figures for phones launched around the same time.

Connectivity includes Dual Nano-SIM, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.2, and GPS, A-GPS, and Galileo. There is also a 3.5 mm audio jack and FM radio. The phone runs Android 11 with Google Services. The Alcatel 1 (2021) has an overall NeoScore of 1.9 and is among the weakest phones of its time overall. It is best suited to buyers who put low weight and basic functions first and can accept very limited memory, camera resolution, and battery capacity.
