Despite its less-than-stellar design, this AT&T-exclusive phone has some solid features. It boasts a stable processor, impressive display quality, and plenty of camera settings. In short, it proves that great phones don’t always have to come with a high price tag.
The Alcatel Axel has a sturdy build that looks more conventional than some of the other budget smartphones out there. It doesn’t rely on the latest trends, like the notch or ultra-thin bezels, but it has a good feel to it and fits well in the users’ hands.
One of the best things about the Alcatel Axel is its 6-inch screen that maximizes on-screen content. It also has some neat features, such as Adaptive Brightness and Night Light mode, to give users a comfortable viewing experience.
In terms of specs, the Alcatel Axel has surprisingly good camera quality for such an inexpensive phone. The 13MP rear camera and 5MP front camera both take excellent pictures. They even have Pro Mode that lets users adjust shutter speed, aperture, and focus. Plus, you can animate objects and create fun clips using Stop Motion Mode.
Another cool feature of the Alcatel Axel is that it has a 3,500mAh non-removable battery that can last for long hours of usage. You can also optimize battery use with its built-in Smart Manager.
