The good
- Lightweight design
- Dual-lens rear camera
- Cheap!
The bad
- Slow camera response
- Battery life is average, even for a budget phone
- Already running an older Android OS
Alcatel as a brand is heavily identified with affordable budget phones. The Alcatel 1x 2019 is exactly that. It's not an expensive phone, and for your very little money, you get a very basic experience, regardless of whether you're talking software performance, camera quality or battery life.
Design
- 16:9 LCD with no notch
- Nice and light in the hand
- Feels very cheap

Camera
- Dual lens, but it's slow to capture
- Portrait mode available for selfies – except it isn't

Performance
- Slow MediaTek processor
- Why is Alcatel selling an Android 8 phone in 2019?

Battery life
- 3,000mAh battery delivers fair, but not great endurance
- Slow micro-USB charging

Alcatel 1x 2019: Alternatives
If what you're after is a phone with more battery life, and your budget can jump up a little, consider the Motorola Moto G7 Power.
If you're after a phone that's going to be more up-to-date, the Nokia 3.2 retails for just a touch more than the Alcatel 1x 2019, but you get a much larger display and better battery life for your money.
