Customers are saying

Customers consistently note the Alcatel Ideal 4G LTE's affordability and ease of use as significant advantages. Positive feedback also highlights its battery life, performance for the price, and screen size. However, some users express concerns regarding the camera quality and limited storage capacity. The lack of a flash on the camera is another frequently cited drawback.

    Drops calls, won't register swipe on screen consistently, camera function is laughable. Doesn't matter the distance, every image is blurry making the camera unusable. Just the contact of your ear on the screen when talking during a call is enough to confuse the phone (it thinks you swiped to hang up or mute the microphone). Worst phone I have ever used. Good thing it's a burner and not my regular phone.

    I just needed a basic and no frills phone and this fit the bill. Apps have been a little glitchy and touchscreen is not the best, but given the cost, it's acceptable.

    Excellent phone for the updated version of the last Samsung phones, though the staff were more interested in my money than what I needed!
