        Phone over heats and screen freezes constantly, reboots every 20 mins. They lure you in with the fee VR set but it's not worth it. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY ON IT.

              Very good phone, incredible features, very acceptable cost - benefit, the ability to invert the screen and the excellent audio quality, are the most outstanding. Its 3 GB ram, make a high performance device. I highly recommend it. Additional value, includes VR lenses, give an incredible experience.

                Bought this phone before deploying. Worked great at first. A month and a half into deployment and it's garbage. I take good care of it so it's not on my end. It heats up very fast, and frequently the touch screen stops working or doesn't work well. I have to restart it multiple(15+) times a day just so I can use it.

                      Great camera, great sound, fast touch response. No lag. 2.4 and 5Ghz wifi useful.
                      Display fairly big and very bright and from wide angle. Battery could have been more powerful, but ...very light. Recommend case to protect from dropping.
                      Was replacement for me from MotoG and is much, much better.

                          This is a great starter phone. One of the best phones at it's price (hardware wise) with little to no hassle with getting a line activated for it. In total, you can start a line from nothing for $250, phone and month included, and from there it's just 30$ a month and you OWN the phone.

                          Great speed, great service, amazing flexibility, two fantastic cameras, and four speakers that can get so loud this thing could easily power a party. Can't believe I haven't gotten a smartphone before, I love this thing.

                            wontoo, 20 Jan 2017Any network reception issues ?My idol 4 has very poor reception at all times. Carrier Cricket Wireless. After trying all the obvious things. The Cricket store clerk told me it was probably the phone itself. They mentioned the antennae may be bad. Im not sure if they meant MY phone or the idol 4 in general.

But the problem was when I remove it from my ear the sensor wouldn't notice to turn the phn back on. So the phone is calling someone but you can't hang up. To make matters worst the power key wouldn't even respond to lighting the screen back up so the call goes to the person voicemail which always waste my minutes. I returned the phone and they replaced it but the same thing with the replacement but now I still have to use the power key to turn on when I'm on a call because the sensor only worked long enough for me to leave the shop. Day two I woke up with a freeze screen now I'm regretting wasting $300

                                  Does this use the Broadcom Wifi chip that's vulnerable to hacking and taking over your phone just by being near an access point for Wifi? Really need to know this!!!!!

                                      I have Idol 4 for more then 6 months the phone heats up very quickly and battery drain faster. Even for normal browsing phone gets heat up. The good part about the phone is it has JBL speakers. My personal experience is don't buy this phone. I will never buy Alcatel in future. Its made by the TCL if you have to buy Chinese made phone why don't go for different brand. I have 3 phone with me now and Alcatel idol 4 is the wrost phone even I am writing a review its heating up. I have bought Xaomi Mi Max which all over good phone not best camera but performance wise the phone is amazing no heat up if you are heavy gamer you will love Mi Max. Iam playing Dawn of Titan which high graphic Mi Max is best phone if you are gamer. HTC 10 is good also if you are good gamer but the screens display is not good in daylight Alcatel as well.

                                        Very good phone. I have the 2gb ram version and its really fast. Enough power for everything except heavy gaming (which is okay considering the price). Just don't update the Android System WebView in the Google Play Store and you are good to go. This app really reduces performance for some reason.
