I can see TCL is trying hard to kill the Alcatel brand.

          Or you can get redmi 6a (with double ram, internal, better cam, hd+ and 12nm SoC) for a bit more bucks ($95). Blast Miui into oblivion and install random treble if you feel adventurous /spyphobia when they release source code later. Even stock packages gaaps eat 400mb memory by itself, in idle.
          1GB android only allowed exist if and only if it cost less than 60 bucks, zero bloatware, with microG, and playstore LITE

Any device with 1 GB RAM and 8 GB storage is fine, and you can do all the important things: messaging, e-mail, browsing, banking, and all the social apps.

                  If you get a phone to play the latest games at 60 FPS, you have to pay more, but for everyone else these low-cost phones actually work fine.

                    Or you can buy iPhone 5, S4, G2 for same or lower price or add a few and get Moto C/E series

The 1x has the same display but bigger size at 5.3" and it still hold up 203ppi. For this price below 100eur you cant really argue with cost cutting done here. 5" at 18:9 is actually a lot smaller than average 5" display 16:9 phone too. It will feels like a 4.5" screen that has been stretch vertically.

                            My Galaxy S Duos 2 before has 756MB RAM and it was like in a prison for years. XD

People are too dumb to realize a perfectly good last-year phone is better than a crappy, newly released phone at the same price. There was that Alcatel Idol 4S with Windows 10 at 100$. Even with the limited selection of apps, it can do more things than whatever this abomination can do with its poor processor, crap cameras, low resolution and low RAM. And yet...

                                      This is waste of resource, making it 18:9 proves they hope that make it sell, but if a 2018 smartphone has lower resolution than a 2011 PS Vita then it's just a bad idea to even think about buying it.
