Customers are saying

Customers frequently mention the One Touch IDOL 3's large, bright, high-resolution screen, calling it a standout feature. Many also comment on its affordability, noting that it offers good overall performance at a reasonable price. The speakers and sound quality, particularly the stereo sound with JBL speakers, are also praised. However, some customers express concerns about the battery life, stating that it only lasts for a day with a full charge.

    I was very impressed with every aspect of the phone. Alcatel is owned by Nokia who took it over in the beginning of '16. As most know, Nokia has great build quality. It is solid, sleek and very sexy. I caught myself admiring it many times because of this. HOWEVER, I should have listened to the reviews. Almost all bad reviews that I saw mentioned how easy the screen breaks. My phone was on a boat seat cushion and it was stepped on by a bare foot. Most phones could survive being stepped on by a boot on a hard surface. P.S. Specs and everything else about the phone are great also

    I had a few phones but this is on the top of my list. Nothing to envy to iPhones or Galaxies that are exploding all over. Light Fast reliable ..and .... I do have it with Tracfone Wireless and always connected. I get a VR box and that thing is great If I would recomend thsis for a Friend,... Ok let me see i got a second for my wife. Now she doesn't complain about space on the phone. I put 128 GB sd card in my phone and she uses her with one with 64 GB sd card

    The Alcatel One Touch Idol 3 is a great value. It has great performance at a great price. The sound is excellent. It comes with free JBL earbuds that are better than the earbuds most cell phones include.
