Old Timer, 02 Nov 2023The lack of NFC make this phone a non-starter in 2023 - but... moreHey there, enable "aeroplane mode" and the beeping will stop, as an added benefit - the battery lasts longer as well.

The lack of NFC make this phone a non-starter in 2023 - but that's OK I prefer to use old-fashioned plastic in shops and stores. I don't play games, and avoid most apps if I can.
This phone had ONE serious advantage over my Sony and Samsung phones - a more powerful headphone amp.
Alcatel 1B - £60. Sony Walkman - £350.
Can you see where I'm going with this?
It's great as a Walkman but has one serious problem that I hope somebody can fix. Even with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth switched off the phone insists on beeping to notify me when there's no signal. To 'beep' it reduces the audio volume. Subsequently, when I'm listening to music on the Underground the volume goes up & down like a yoyo.

Alcatel hasn't made a phone in over a year. I hope this is the last.

MakeNokiaGreatAgain, 10 Aug 2023Storage can be expanded with microSDXC card.adding more space just makes the phone slower with the weak processor it has, despite the fact that it just has 2gb ram (not expandable, dont even try to use virtual RAM) tho...
In simple terms, this phone is sh** in 2023...

fran6325, 26 May 2023Is this a bot? Because this phone runs on Android 11 and yo... moreChipset Mediatek MT6761 Helio A22 (12 nm)
CPU Quad-core 2.0 GHz Cortex-A53
GPU PowerVR GE8300
I looked up this processor online I find it's a old mediatek soc processor best suited for Android 8 as I seem a lot of smartphones with this chipset that run android 8
I've seen a lot of Android 8 smartphones with this chipset choice it's just mediatek keeps using this old budget soc for newer smartphones this is fine as long as the price is right
It's ideal choice keep products in production industry with old chipset like there's for the reason it's cheaper produce products with older soc as existing equipment is ideal for keeping price down for production industry costs that's Ideal for customers
It's not a good processor however it's good enough for too run the web browser & apps too a good enough for every day usage standard for a budget smartphones (£60) i like this soc it's the reason I choose this smartphones was for the soc plus the RAM / ROM for only £60 pound

fran6325, 26 May 2023Is this a bot? Because this phone runs on Android 11 and yo... moreAndroid 8 has better app compatibility then android 11 and will have smoother performance
Older software is better because it's easier on the hardware as the hardware isn't powerful enough for the for modern software too handle so your better off ideally if the smartphones run android 8 with the mediatek a22
The Alcatel 1b 2022 does also have virtual system ram that improves the system performance by making up for the limited amount of real ram of only 2 GB ram & I think 3gb virtual ram
I tested the Alcatel 1b 2022 in gaming it was able too run heavy games like mobile legends bang bang that run good enough for me too have fun
The Alcatel 1b 2022 also comes with Tiktok per-installed on the smartphones this app is so good it even pays me money too use the smartphone
With money apps
The Alcatel brand is the cleam of the crop for people on a budget who can't afford better

I love this phone. For the £60 price tag, it runs quite smoothly (unless you push it) and Android 11 Go Edition works really well on this phone. I recommend this as a good budget phone!
