Editorial report

alcatel Insight technical sheet

The alcatel Insight may suit someone looking for a small, lightweight phone, but its display, battery, and several hardware figures are among the weakest of its time. It weighs 145 g, less than most phones launched around the same time, and measures 136.4 mm tall and 65.1 mm wide. At 9.9 mm thick, it is thicker than most phones of its time.

Its 5-inch LCD has a resolution of 480 × 960 and a pixel density of 215 ppi, among the lowest of its time. The 1.5 GB of RAM and 16 GB of storage are also among the lowest amounts, though storage is expandable. The processor is a quad-core MediaTek MT6739. The rear camera has a 5 MP resolution, among the lowest of its time, and records video at 1080p at 30 fps; the front camera has 2 MP and records at 720p at 30 fps. Its 2,200 mAh battery is among the lowest-capacity batteries of its time.

Connectivity includes LTE, Wi-Fi 4, Bluetooth 4.2, GPS, and a single Nano-SIM slot. It also has a 3.5 mm audio jack and FM radio, and runs Android 9. Its overall NeoScore is 1.6, among the weakest of its time. This is an option for someone who prioritizes low weight, compact dimensions, and wired audio; the limitations in its display, memory, camera, and battery shape the verdict.
