Any smartphone is better than this Pixi 4 ok?
With this price, I can't complain this is bad.
My unit still work, just as a backup phone, for voice calling, simple web browsing, simple game.
This smartphone is slow, I can tolerate of it's low speed.
It doesn't auto restart, doesn't heat up on stand by.
I bought this for replacing the basic phone, which is only used for voice call. The advantage? I no more headache on charging cable, because it is using Micro USB. Battery is removeable, I can replace the battery myself if battery life time end. Because of the 2000mah battery, standby time is much longer than basic phone.
Lower down your expectation, then you will find this smartphone is what it is.

I have this phone and not bad and really cheap but just 4gb of space and 1gb of ram is not really good, speaker isn't bad and Cpu isn't bad because 1.3ghz isn't so bad for Real Racing 3. This phone required power bank because this phone have low end battery. This is my opinion.

Tom_1, 16 Nov 2018Lol it didnt cost 40 euros it cost 70 euros Ok, I feel you, I understand your pain.
This phone not worth of 70 euros as it doesn't even function properly. It only suitable as backup phone.
You should probably spend more and get at least Xiaomi Redmi series for proper usage, which is affordable, but a proper smartphone that can be used from day to day. Or spend on Honor brand if your country has that.
Also next time check for the smartphone specs before buying, there is a limit on what a cheap smartphone can be. Certainly this Alcatel is too cheap, and also a very bad one.

There are controversy when something is made that sold with least budget in mind, where criticism is made by comparing it to more expensive stuff.
It just like comparing a 32 inch HD ready LCD TV to a 50 inch or bigger 4K TV that has almost 2 to 3 times price gap.
Yes, for those who can afford to buy, there never have issue to go with the more expensive product. This phone is like goes back retro when the 1st Android smartphone is being introduced.

Tom_1, 05 Nov 2018People. i have alot to complain about this phone, well the ... moreI remember I just pay 40 Euros to your conversion at my region to get this phone. So, it is just a 40 euros phone, what you want to expect from a 40 euros phone these day?
At best, it just suitable as a backup phone. I bought 2 units for my family and it still work. It is a phone for elderly that not even know what internet and data 4G is all about.
Redmi 5a and Redmi 6 are totally different i price. Yes, if you got that money, spend on that.

And 1GB Ram, check the specs before you buy, go for phones with 2GB Ram or more as they work out great, a Wileyfox Swift 2 is a great choice.

People. i have alot to complain about this phone, well the thing is i got my old phone cracked before i got this shitty phone, i pat 20 euros and my mom 50 euros for this phone, its a money waste dont buy its shit it lags and the battery is shit you know everything. gaming peformence bad, camera bad and it freezes when i call someone and cant end the call, if u have more money to spare go for xiamoi phones they will change ur mind this phone is nothing compared to xiamoi redmi phones, if u can waste bit more money go for xiamoi redmi 5a or 6a, avoid buying this phone because its a money waste. when the battery is at 20-30% it drains to 0% in prob like 2 minutes idk but very quickly this phone is not even worth at this price tag its worth nothing, this phone belongs to trash can. go for xiamoi redmi phones if u want a good phone and dont want to waste alot of money. and now i have samsung galaxy j6 2018.

I unfortunately was gifted this phone after my phone stopped working, and honestly, I would rather have my dead phone back, I just can't recommend the Pixi 4 at all.
The phone is extremely slow without any apps installed in addition to what the phone comes packed with, it's slow to the point where it often struggles to function as a basic phone, for instance, I get a phone call and I can't even answer because the call app crashes, something that should take seconds, like checking emails or text messages takes minutes instead. I don't know what else is available at the price point of the Pixi 4 admittedly, but I would suggest staying away from this price point altogether.

I bought 4 of these phones almost a year ago for the whole family because of excellent value/features for money. Covers and pouches were very hard to find in South Africa.
None of them gave any problems or failures till today. Performance and ease of use is good to me. The only bad thing is the damage / wear and tear that they endured due to not having covers or pouches on to protect them from clumsy users.
All in all good value for money and very happy with them.
Would easily buy another one.

I bought this phone for my parents for 1 year ago, which primary usage is for phone call. It works until today. 4G is working, WiFI is working, hotspot is working, camera working, speaker working, battery life is acceptable, no auto rebooting, phone call is ok. No system crash. Only thing annoying the most is the phone slowness/lag, but it does work nonetheless, it challenge the patient of using a very laggy smartphone.
I come here again to counter those bad comments.
1. This is one of the cheapest 4G Android smartphone being made. All it's spec reveal the all low spec. So, please don't expect anything miracle on this price.
2. This phone won't satisfied 99.99% of smartphone user today, if you are coming from other more expensive smartphone you has ever used. Android smartphone has come a long way, but this phone simply I would say stuck at the age before capacitive touchscreen is widely used. Remember those earlier touchscreen phone before the first iPhone being sold? It is not an insult, because this is the kind of smartphone that pack everything that are most basic by today standard, and make it works without caring the user experience and overlook the smartphone performance.
Then, what user group should I recommend for?
1. For elderly that start learning to use smartphone. Smartphone are complex, unlike the keypad phone era. This give them a touch of what smartphone is all about without spending extra to get the best phone on the market for them, where it is under utilized. At the time of purchase, the price of this smartphone undercut half even the cheapest Xiaomi and Samsung can offer. By no mean to torture them, but to give them a basic smartphone to go without breaking the pocket, not everyone is rich.
2. As a backup phone if your main smartphone are down. It does as what a phone can do, it got 4G at least, speed is decent enough. WiFi also no problem. I always use it as a WiFI hotspot where it support 4G band 5 (850), which is not supported by my old expensive smartphone.
So, the only thing unsatisfied are the performance. It lag from the 1st day of purchase, which I didn't care, just as I expected. The reason to buy this phone is because the price is so close to the basic keypad phone, which is undercut half of this phone price, and are old model that stop production long time ago. So, the only comparison this phone can make is to the basic phone, that mostly for basic call function.
I know, I can actually buy a secondhand iPhone 4/Samsung S3 at the same price as well, but that all got their own issue as well. This one at least I get a new phone, then official 1 year warranty.
If you are ok with this phone, that means cheap phone are ok for you, and much more expensive phone actually are quite pointless to own. If you are not ok with this phone, then just stick with the more expensive phone you have, at least the cheapest Xiaomi phone released every year are actually outperform this phone by many miles.
