              This is the worse phone ever, dropped it once and the screen becomes unresponsive , this is my second alcatel phone and they both had the same problems with just one drop. this phone needs gorilla screen because it is so trash, no other phone breaks like this after 1-2 drops , not even my ipod 4th gen.

                      Rudolf, 13 Aug 2014Nice looker, but dissapointing. I am using Idol Mini dual ... moreMaybe it's something wrong with your unit. On my OT idol mini 6012x quality of sound is ok with Sony or Sennheiser in-ear headphones. Basses are strong enough with EQ on.

                        I love this phone its so nice and easy to use I've had this phone for over a year and their is no problems with it. Most people say this phone is s*** but to be honest I think they are talking s*** I would rekonmend this phone to anyone.
                        The pictures and sound and detail is really good and the phone is easy to use hold and touch. It comes with amazing wallpaper including live ones. Buy this phone it is awesome and to you people who hate this phone I have one thing to say to you STOP TALKING CRAP

                            Nice looker, but dissapointing.
                            I am using Idol Mini dual sim for 6 months.
                            It looks good, well built and stylish. Acting as much more expensive phone.
                            The screen is nice looking. The colours are good and brightness is ok even in high sunlight.
                            Some says 512 MB RAM is not enough. If You are not a gamer and using only few apps at once it is enough. There are some lags, but they are not annoying (i.e. iPad Mini with iOS 7 suffers with lags- I got it and I know).
                            The dual core CPU from MediaTek run nicely and NO HEAT (MTk 6572 is 28nm technology). 3D Graphics... well can't say. Arcade Pinball runs smoothly.
                            Dual sim is a stand by dual, but it works OK.
                            So, that's all good.
                            Now the bad.
                            Dual Sim has no memory card slot. It has only 2gb internal (app) memory and 4gb user memory. Quite enough for no expecting user, but when You make even a short movie... It will be filled instantly.
                            BTW, camera. They say 5MP camera, yeah right. Even Samsung Galaxy Gio (3MP) makes better shots. The pictures are blurred, overexposed , oversaturated and no details. The noise removing algorythms are too brute. This cam us only for purposes like- show the existance of building.
                            And the last thing, that made me hate this phone.
                            The sound.
                            The speaker works OK, but to be honest, who is using speaker to listen music?
                            The attached headphones are kind of joke, so I used ReLoop, Sony, and Technics headphones. The sound is... pityful. Lack of dynamics, no bass, frequency response is below any expectations. Even when I tried to gain the low freqs with EQ, the audio chip seems to get stocked and sound was overloaded but... still no bass!
                            So when You need a general Dual Sim and you dont expect good camera and music it is for You.
                            Now I think I will change to Acer E2 Duo, Xperia M or Desire 500. Because I need dual sim and I want as best sound as possible.

                              I really think you should consider enlarging memory of the twin sim Idol

                                today marks the 3rd month of using this phone as my daily driver. well, not much to rant about considering i have dropped this badly (face down, about 3ft high) hence not a single issue came on and still works like a charm.

                                wifi connects like a breeze neither experienced what others would claim as 'ghost tapping' and battery life has exceeded my expectations as it lasts 1-1.5 days w/ moderate use.

                                should this sucker was only built w/ 1gb of ram and 2000mah...im gonna hold on to this as long as its gonna work. overall verdict, im a satisified user and wud rate it 8.5/10

                                how about d rest? let me hear ur rants and raves \m/

                                  I bought the Alcatel One Touch Idol Mini 4 months ago. About 6 weeks into having the phone,it kept saying that there wasn't enough memory to take a picture.
                                  Then I was having a lot of trouble with the touch screen,I was having to press on it hard when you shouldn't have to.
                                  Now my phone is sent in for repairs because apps would open on their own,the phone was always freezing up.The settings page would open when I wasn't even holding the phone.
                                  I'm just waiting for it to come back from repairs to see what's going to happen next.
