Are you looking for a compact and simple mobile? Alcatel has a very interesting proposal, the Alcatel 3088. It is a compact mobile with buttons, perfect for the elderly or those who just want a second mobile for calls and little else. The interesting thing about this device is that it has 4G connectivity and some Android apps, such as WhatsApp, Facebook, YouTube or even the Google Assistant. According to the company, these types of 'basic' terminals still account for 25 percent of the mobile phone market worldwide.
This Alcatel 3088 has a basic and compact design. It is built in polycarbonate, so it is quite light (90 grams of weight). On its back we only see a main camera accompanied by an LED flash, as well as the Alcatel logo at the bottom. The front is more eye-catching, as it has a numeric keypad at the bottom and different buttons at the top. E n the center is the navigation button, which we also used to summon Assistant Google. On the sides, the classic call and option buttons. Of course, we also find a 2.4 ”QVGA screen. It is not tactile and although the resolution is low, it is more than enough for a screen size like this.
4G for apps like YouTube, WhatsApp or Facebook
The terminal has 4G networks, which allows us to navigate up to a maximum speed of 150 mbps. We can access applications such as WhatsApp, Facebook, YouTube or Google Maps thanks to KaiOS and optimization by Google. It also has basic applications, such as Calendar, Weather App, mail, music, calculator etc. In terms of autonomy, that of this Alcatel 3088 is 1500 mAh. According to the manufacturer we can have a duration of 7.5 hours in conversation. Charging takes 3.5 hours. In the photographic section there are no great news.
