I'm not actually using as a phone, just on Wi-Fi to earn money with certain apps. It's perfect for $10.

Coming from a Galaxy S3, I'm impressed!

I had to buy a new phone on a budget after my Galaxy S3 died, and this one seemed "good enough". After a week, it actually surpassed my expectations! It doesn't feel like a huge step down, but that's because I'm not a power user.
Unfortunately, the camera isn't impressive. And if you're not looking at the display straight-on it will wash out. I see people criticizing the battery in these reviews, but I have to disagree. I've been able to last two days on a single charge, so no complaints there.
Overall, the Alcatel OneTouch Elevate is a pleasure to use. It's sleek, attractive and performs well if you're not pushing it too hard. Simply put, it's just a good Android phone.
Pros:
Feels more “premium than you’d expect
Smooth Android Lollipop experience
Cons:
The camera is nothing special
The screen has a narrow viewing angle

I read a bunch of reviews before buying this phone. I don't understand how it can have such a good rating. It is so slow, and freezes all the time. Apps close for no reason. The screen isn't sensitive. You have to tap on it two or three times to get it to do anything. Texting is a real pain. It will autocorrect words without permission. Everytime I hit the spacebar it comes out as a "b" and it won't let me add my own words to the dictionary. The contacts app is difficult to deal with and the call history is even worse. It's hard to figure out who's called, and forget about knowing when. The call clarity is alright as is the camera. But you will have to manually move all of your pictures and videos to your SD card, because they automatically save to the phone. Everything about this phone is just stupid. I am very used to cheap Virgin Mobile phones, but this one is driving me crazy. I ordered an LG Tribute 2 to replace it. I'm hoping I'll have better luck with that one. It really can't get much worse.
