Design

Users can choose from eight different color configurations, with the housing in orange, dark green, lime green, red, dark gray, blue/orange, pink and azure blue. A nice selection to choose from. Making it one of the most varied smartphones. But above all, the strength of this model is its robust construction.

Display

With regard to the Alcatel OneTouch Go Play’s screen, Alcatel uses a TFT panel with a size of 5 inches. This format has almost become a standard in many mid-range (and even entry level smartphones) market releases. The OneTouch Go supports HD resolution of 1,280 x 720 pixels, with a pixel density of 293 dots per inch. The Alcatel smartphone offers medium level details that will seamlessly work well for normal usage of apps, games and simple navigation.

Camera

With regard to photography, the OneTouch Go Play uses an 8-megapixel rear camera with LED flash and auto-focus. In addition, this lens supports optical image stabilization for both video and photos, which makes for a very interesting feature, especially for those of us with shaky hands.. As expected, you will be able to record video in 1080p high resolution. In the front, there is 5 megapixel camera for both selfies and videoconferencing. But above all, one of the most interesting features of these cameras is the ability to take photos and videos underwater by using a physical button.

Power, Storage, Memory

To operate, the Alcatel OneTouch Go Play uses a Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 quad-core processor with a power of 1.2 GHz per core, along with a RAM of 1 GB. This is a fairly simple set, that can fall short if you’re used to using numerous open processes simultaneously. As to the internal memory, it has 8 GB. Once we account for the space dedicated to the operating system itself and preinstalled applications, that leaves 4 GB of space to store our files. If you need more capacity, you can use MicroSD memory card up to 32 GB.

The operating system chosen for the Alcatel OneTouch Go Play is Android 5.0 Lollipop.
