Quick Review of Alcatel X1
The display of Alcatel X1 is average in the mid-level by the resolution. But it is well protected by Gorilla Glass and DT-X glass. The Snapdragon 415 CPU is average processor. RAM and Storage is not bad and we can expect good multitasking in 2GB of RAM, but on using of heavy memory consuming games with 3D graphics, it definitely lags.
Cameras are standard level of mid-level smartphones. The rear camera is good and the front is average performer. Battery is very low with a 2150mAh. This battery has very less chance to provide backup for more than a day on mixed usage.
Bottom line is, this is just an average smartphone in all way. Battery is too low.
