Some of them don’t really know what to do with the acquisition, which is why the once popular brand is slowly losing market share and disappearing into the distant and happy past. This is roughly how the situation with the former leader, Nokia, is developing. After it was acquired by Microsoft Corporation, smartphones from the Finnish manufacturer are becoming increasingly rare in real life. But Alcatel was luckier.
After several major mergers, the rights to the brand ended up with the Chinese TCL, which is very actively promoting smartphones on the market produced by the joint venture TAMP (TCL & Alcatel Mobile Phones Limited). The Alcatel One Touch POP 2 5032d review that you are reading now is not a eulogy to the once legendary brand, as skeptics might assume, but an attempt to understand whether it is possible to step into the same river twice. Or, if you prefer, proof that if a manufacturer is not ready to be satisfied with past achievements and carefully listens to the opinions of consumers, everything should work out for him.
Therefore, we decided that reviews of the alcatel one touch pop 2 5042d would be no less relevant than an analysis of the technical characteristics or a comparison of the new product with its closest competitors. Agree: the opinion about a phone expressed by an ordinary person sometimes means more when choosing one than several professional reviews.
Scope of delivery and intended market positioning We have already mentioned several times that you can’t count on any additional goodies when buying even a high-end smartphone these days. And our today’s hero confirms this: the buyer will not find anything unnecessary in the box.
With the target audience, the question is not as simple as it seems. On the one hand, they are asking only 5,500 rubles for a smartphone, which clearly hints at its budget status with all the ensuing consequences. On the other hand, the Alcatel One Touch pop 2 does not seem overtly cheap or unsightly, and the future owner of the device will be protected from an inferiority complex. Consequently, the manufacturer offers us an inexpensive, but by no means budget smartphone, designed for a relatively wide audience.
This is also facilitated by the calm and discreet design, the quality of the materials used and the overall impression of the new product, which is usually formed in the first 2-3 hours.
Display and design features
Why did we decide to place the main emphasis on the screen, and consider the hardware characteristics required by the state in passing? Agree, the type of processor used, the amount of RAM and other technical parameters are not always of interest to the average person, and if a smartphone is more or less adequately capable of performing everyday tasks, talking about the speed of the chip will only be of interest to an enthusiastic amateur.
In Alcatel One Touch pop 2, the designers used a regular TFT screen, rightly judging that IPS technology has no place in a budget device. The display resolution is only 854 x 480 pixels, which can be a problem with a screen diagonal of 4.5 inches. If you try hard, you can see individual points, and straight lines will turn into a stepped ladder. Moreover, the TN matrix is physically unable to provide the number of colors stated in the specifications, when any deviation from a strictly vertical angle results in fading of one part of the screen and a sharp violation of the accuracy of the shades of another.
Such a display will not add popularity points to a smartphone, but in ordinary life the situation does not seem so dire.
In the end, in this price range one way or another you have to make compromises, and for calls or browsing the Internet, color accuracy is not so important. Especially considering the stated price.
Landscapes and still lifes are good for the new product, but defects and artifacts begin to appear when shooting in low light conditions. You can see some sample photos below, but we really liked them. And you can not pay any attention to the belief that has spread in recent years, according to which a smartphone should take pictures no worse than a professional DSLR camera.

Communication and communication capabilities
If certain items of expenditure are cut, then much more money remains for other items. And if, when developing a new product, the choice of display type was carried out on a residual basis, then they did not skimp on communications. How such an inexpensive smartphone was able to support all existing standards is unclear, but the fact remains. Alcatel One Touch pop 2 works in networks of 2, 3 and 4 generations and is capable of exchanging information via Wi-Fi b, g and n standards. Also available are Bluetooth 4.0 and Wi-Fi Direct.
For an inexpensive smartphone, such omnivorousness is amazing. Therefore, the label that was awarded to the new product immediately after the announcement of criticism is nothing more than nitpicking. The model keeps excellent communication in almost any conditions and boasts support for 4G networks. A similar set of capabilities is rarely found in much more expensive smartphones, so Alcatel’s brainchild cannot be accused of inferiority.
Hardware platform
It would be wrong to completely ignore issues related to performance, so let’s briefly touch on the hardware. The smartphone does not have the fastest processor from Qualcomm (Snapdragon 410) and only 1 GB of RAM. Even taking into account the fact that the chip is 4-core, you can’t count on anything special. It was released at the end of 2013 and has become quite outdated, but for undemanding users its capabilities are more than enough. But the meager savings on memory can no longer be logically explained and justified.
The smartphone does not have the fastest processor from Qualcomm
The smartphone is not much higher than the budget level, but it has two SIM cards, LTE support and a price of 4,990 rubles. in the MTS (RTK) salon. The device is quite balanced and without serious shortcomings; it is suitable for fast Internet enthusiasts.
I asked MTS to “drive” this miracle, being interested in the price and availability of LTE support. Whatever you say, buying something modern with LTE is cheaper than 6,000 rubles. not so easy. Especially in these difficult times. We do not consider deliveries from the Celestial Empire for many reasons, the main one now being the proximity of the New Year holidays. Time to collect and scatter gifts, and not communicate with Russian Post. And this POP2 also has a second SIM card as a bonus and the characteristics are not frankly dull.

Positioning
While it is determined by the very fact that the device has LTE support, the smartphone is of interest to those who want to try new technologies without serious “investments.” Today, the minimum price of a smartphone with LTE is more than 6,000 rubles, the closest analogue is Explay Air, its price is 6 100 rub. Yandex Market found it only in one store (i.e., it’s not a fact that it’s available at that price), in other stores it’s closer to 7,000 rubles. But this Explay Air has one SIM card and half the internal memory. In terms of price (6,000 rubles), the Alcatel POP S3 is relatively close, but it has a 4-inch screen, so it’s hard to consider it a competitor.
The time is probably not too far off when LTE will no longer be considered a “premium” feature and will appear in most smartphones. I still remember the times of the first phones with 3G, which were much more expensive than their analogues, but now without 3G there are only very simple “dialers”. The same will happen with LTE, but for now you have to pay for techno-happiness. Our Alcatel is the first sign in the “smartphone with LTE cheaper than 5,000 rubles” category, I hope not the last.
As for the other fillings, it is far from top-level, but noticeably better than traditional budget devices. The smartphone is truly balanced, does not cause any particular complaints and will suit many as a universal solution. For those who consider 3G speeds to be more than sufficient for a smartphone, I can only repeat once again: happiness is not only in speed. LTE is much more responsive due to its short response time, this is important not only for online games. The browser also behaves completely differently, you need to try it yourself. And, of course, on average LTE turns out to be three times faster, and there is no such thing as excess speed.
Equipment and design
The kit includes the smartphone itself, an adapter for an output current of 1 A (charges the smartphone in three hours), a connecting cable, a headset and a user manual. We have reached a time when a headset in a box is already perceived as a pleasant surprise. The memory card disappeared from the kits, presumably forever, but I don’t mind it. But getting a suitable headset can be more difficult.
The dimensions are comfortable, the stripes along the edges of the screen are narrow. Thanks to their small width, the smartphone is just a little larger than a device with a 4” screen and fits well in the hand. The back is cheap, smooth plastic, not even matte, I’m already silent about the soft touch. Fingerprints on the back are clearly visible. The design is emphatically “nothing”, nothing interesting. Well, okay, we are already accustomed to the technological simplicity of inexpensive devices. There are no multi-colored or “chrome” inserts. This time we were pleased with the variety of color options: the device is available in black, white, green and lemon. Someone already complained about the lack of cases for it, they adapted it from a Samsung S5, but the slot for the speaker did not match. Lately I’ve been seeing phones in cases more and more often, is it really convenient? However, it's a matter of taste.
Design
A traditional candy bar, packed tightly, a large but thin 2,000 mAh battery looks a little unusual. The camera eye does not protrude beyond the dimensions of the body. There are no complaints about the build quality, with the exception of the not entirely successful buttons. The device was already slightly open in the box, such a nice little thing.
The two slots for SIM cards are spaced apart and “look” in different directions, so you definitely won’t be able to confuse them. A microSD slot (supports cards up to 32 GB) is also inside. The microUSB socket is on the bottom edge, on the top there is a 3.5 mm jack for a headset or headphones and a second microphone. The voice microphone is slightly to the right of the microUSB socket and will not be blocked by your palm or finger.
The volume rocker and power button are on the right side. In my opinion, they don’t perform enough, but it’s tolerable. What’s worse is that the buttons have a very short and unclear travel, and I was only able to reduce the volume on the third attempt. Most likely, there is an individual defect in the button in a particular instance.
I was pleased with the presence of an LED event indicator. There is only one color (bright blue), but it works properly and also responds to application events. The vibration motor is average and is not designed for carrying the device in outerwear pockets.
Display
TFT display 4.5 inches, resolution – 480 x 854, pixel density – 240 ppi. In my opinion, this is the most controversial part of the device. A good and rather “progressive” filling, at first glance, does not fit with such a screen. I would like a better resolution and an IPS matrix. Let's assume that this is payback for the low price of the smartphone. As a consolation, a display of this resolution does not consume much energy, and the 2,000 mAh battery lasts a long time.
There is also a pleasant surprise: the screen does not suffer from the usual “bluishness” for budget displays. I would say that in terms of color rendering this is almost the best option in its class that I have visited. Almost pure white color even at low brightness levels is a significant plus. Pay attention to the photo above, there is practically no characteristic blue.
Another close-up photo of the display. Everything is very good with flowers, thanks for that. Thin lines on maps and in small text, of course, blur. Colors are noticeably distorted when turning in the vertical plane.
There is a light sensor and automatic brightness adjustment is present. Works well in different conditions, tracks changes and changes brightness quickly, without jerking. During the entire test, there was never a desire to control the brightness manually. Auto-rotate to landscape mode works correctly and does not cause annoying random triggers.
The backlighting of the three virtual buttons under the display is present and works, but the auto-turns off quickly, and without backlighting they are not visible at all. I didn’t find it in the settings, but it’s hard to consider it a disadvantage, since we all remember three buttons or will quickly remember them.
Finally, an important detail that is indirectly related to the display. The phone can be woken up from sleep mode and the screen can be unlocked by double tapping on the display. We go straight to the main screen, bypassing the lock screen with the splash screen. You can put it into sleep mode in the same way. Until now, I’ve only come across this on Lenovo smartphones; it’s convenient, saves time and battery power. It’s not even a pity to leave free space on the screen for “blocking” taps. If you don’t do this, you will hit the icon and the application will start.
Cameras
There are two of them: a 5 MP main camera with autofocus, a 2 MP front camera. There is an LED flash, but it is weak.
With the front camera there was again some intrigue. According to the description, it is 2.0 MP, in fact (file properties and AnTuTu data) – 0.3 MP (VGA). The front camera settings only include night mode and the ability to take 4 pictures in a row; there is nothing else to configure. As a consolation, I can mention the humane compression algorithm, the average file size is 250 KB. Or were you going to interpolate to 2 MP, but something went wrong? Okay, the selfies aren't completely disgusting, see photo above.
The main camera (5 MP with autofocus) turned out to be quite decent. “Front” photos in good lighting are practically flawless. Autofocus cannot be called slow and works correctly.
In general, I liked the way the software works; it correctly “calculates” and corrects the white balance. Pictures taken under different types of lighting (for example, a rather dim table lamp) look good without any “dancing with a tambourine” around additional settings. The spectrum is slightly shifted to the “warm” side, which is not bad when shooting a face and is not critical for most other scenarios.
Macro mode is provided and works. You won’t be able to print banknotes, but you can safely count on taking close-up photographs of all sorts of buttercups and flowers.
Work with text. Again, nothing spectacular, but the photographed A4 page is easy to read. If the text is not too small (see photo above by clicking), then the recognition system does a good job.
I had trouble shooting at night. Either I wanted too much from the camera, or I needed to practice well. Well, at least there is no pronounced “noise”, i.e. the situation is not hopeless and you can try to photograph static objects.
There is an LED flash, but I would recommend immediately forgetting about its existence. Although I’m lying, the flashlight mode can come in handy. The trouble is not even that the flash is frankly weak. Either they really saved on the LED, or the software doesn’t work correctly with it, I don’t know. But the pictures come out with a pronounced blueness. Considering that the software handles different types of artificial lighting quite well, such a “flash” does more harm than practical benefit.
There are enough settings, and they are sorted conveniently. Is the “Barcode Scanner” mode present and even works well, a bonus from KitKat 4.4.4? The black and white shooting mode, very useful for text and diagrams, is hidden in the “Filters” section under the romantic name “Noir”. This is a note to the hostess.
As a summary of the camera. There aren’t enough stars in the sky and, what’s more, he doesn’t photograph them. But the product is quite suitable for various applications and is not an outright “excuse” from a budget smart phone manufacturer: “Should a smartphone have a camera? Well, here’s your camera!” Here we have an honest 5 MP with normally working autofocus and good software support.
Characteristics
The data in AnTuTu virtual “parrots” is 21,663. It’s far from top models, but it’s about one and a half times better than modern budget smartphones. They claim that most modern games can be played on a smartphone even at medium settings.
Generalized device data, Network Signal Info application. The same application is present in photos and screenshots in the form of widgets (warning questions).
A list of basic device data from AnTuTu, an image in “readable” resolution is available by clicking.
AnTuTu data for sensors installed in the device.
Shells, programs, control
Judging by the familiar pictures and the start widget, the smartphone has a start shell from the Celltick company installed. Last time I suggested that we would most likely see this package in future “branded” MTS products. Here, however, the package is presented in a greatly reduced form, without a set of additional on-screen widgets with the ability to make online purchases. Either at the time of release, Celltick had not yet “finished” their product for Android 4.4.4, or because the smartphone is not sold under the MTS brand. It doesn't matter.
A lot of additional software has been installed, it’s a holy thing. However, there are popular and certainly useful examples. In terms of saving time and effort, the Startup Manager is very nice, which displays a list of all applications that start immediately and take up space in memory. Going through the list and disabling autoloading of everything unnecessary is a matter of minutes, and then you can slowly deal with each software separately.
As a consolation: it seems that additional pre-installed software can be easily removed without obtaining root rights and other difficulties. I was too lazy to go through the entire list, but none of the programs I watched declared their “inviolability.”
The menu also has a wonderful Smart Live section with dozens of “recommended” programs. You will find out about the paid or short test period only after a complex four-way download combination, bypassing the standard Google Play interface. Again, it’s the owner’s business and no one is forcing you, just keep it in mind.
For some time I was fiddling with disabling the CB (Cell Broadcast) tariff zone on the MTS SIM card. A couple of years ago I solved exactly the opposite problem (enable), but now I couldn’t find it in the settings right away. And to receive a Stolitsa message every couple of minutes with all the accompanying sound and light indications... you understand. The CB settings did not help, but the treasured channel 50 (MTS broadcasts on it) turned out to be connected by default in the “Emergency Alerts” section, in the subsection of the settings for Brazil. Thank you that this is not a “presidential” broadcast channel, which cannot be turned off in principle.
And one of the pleasant surprises is a complete set of network settings. I don’t know whether Alcatel or Google heard the mutually exclusive complaints of users about restrictions in operating modes, but they heard. And they made almost all the options you could wish for. Enjoy it for your health.
Impressions from work
I won’t repeat myself about the ambiguous screen (see above), but I wrote about the LED indicator (it exists) and the headset (it also exists). An interesting topic is the radio unit. Which turned out to be surprisingly good. LTE immediately “hooks” and confidently holds on to it almost down to -125 dbm according to the indicator. It doesn’t just hold on, it transmits data. In general, when switching between networks on a smartphone, everything happens well and quickly, and does not “stick” in any mode.
There are no complaints about the data transfer speed either. It is clear that first of all the network must provide 41 Mbit/s, but the smartphone must also be able to receive this stream. It looks like it takes without problems.
With the indication of operating modes on a smartphone, everything is very interesting. A thorough study of the “user manual” seems to leave no questions; each mode is described in detail, documented and should be displayed in the status line accordingly, sorry for the clutter. But in fact?
In fact, the 3G HSPA+ indication has been abolished in principle; this implementation of 3G has been declared the fourth generation (4G) thanks to the light hand of US providers, they were the first to engage in such verbiage in cellular networks. I have already encountered a similar phenomenon in the firmware of Alcatel products. In the “user manual” the icons were left for beauty and, probably, for the regulatory authorities. If there is a really annoying and techno-advanced subscriber, then they will popularly explain to him the difference between the 4G icons (like, this is the previous 4G) and 4G/LTE (the most modern 4G). This is such an “unobtrusive” confusion of concepts for the sake of a beloved customer.
However, let's continue. I have no complaints about the Wi-Fi module; the sensitivity is at a very good level. GPS turned out to be unexpectedly fast, A-GPS also worked without problems and with good accuracy. Bad feelings from future accusations of being “paid for” are already beginning to appear, but I can’t do anything about it. I really liked the entire radio part of the smartphone.
Sound part. Here, here you can rehabilitate yourself, the multimedia speaker is not at all ice. The voice speaker is also so-so. I am still delighted with the ingenious solution in Beeline Smart 2, where they abandoned the separate multimedia speaker, making the voice of greater power universal. Any multimedia did not suffer much, but voice transmission became radically better. It seems to me that such a “retrograde” solution is the future of relatively cheap devices. But we'll see.
Summary
A fully functional smartphone of a level higher than a “state employee”, also with LTE support. The radio unit is pleasing, and at a price of 5,000 rubles at the gate. The device should appeal to techno-enthusiasts. The screen is noticeably discordant with the “filling”, which is sad. And unsuccessful (in my opinion) buttons. But overall, the device is very good in terms of price and characteristics.

Mobile networks
A mobile network is a radio system that allows multiple mobile devices to communicate with each other.
| GSM GSM (Global System for Mobile Communications) is designed to replace the analogue mobile network (1G). For this reason, GSM is often called a 2G mobile network.
