Accelerometer(or G-sensor) - sensor of the device’s position in space. As a main function, the accelerometer is used to automatically change the orientation of the image on the display (vertical or horizontal). Also, G-sensor is used as a pedometer, it can be controlled various functions device by turning or shaking.
Gyroscope- a sensor that measures rotation angles relative to a fixed coordinate system. Capable of measuring rotation angles in several planes simultaneously. A gyroscope together with an accelerometer allows you to accurately determine the position of the device in space. Devices that use only accelerometers have lower measurement accuracy, especially when moving quickly. Also, the capabilities of the gyroscope can be used in modern games for mobile devices.
Light sensor- a sensor that sets the optimal brightness and contrast values ​​for a given light level. The presence of a sensor allows you to increase the battery life of the device.
Proximity sensor- a sensor that detects when the device is close to your face during a call, turns off the backlight and locks the screen, preventing accidental clicks. The presence of a sensor allows you to increase the battery life of the device.
Geomagnetic sensor- a sensor for determining the direction of the world in which the device is directed. Tracks the orientation of the device in space relative to the magnetic poles of the Earth. The information received from the sensor is used in mapping programs for terrain orientation.
Atmospheric pressure sensor- sensor for precise measurement of atmospheric pressure. It is part of the GPS system, allows you to determine altitude above sea level and speed up location determination.
Touch ID- fingerprint identification sensor.

Approximations

Satellite navigation:

GPS(Global Positioning System - global positioning system) - satellite system navigation, providing measurement of distance, time, speed and determining the location of objects anywhere on Earth. The system is developed, implemented and operated by the US Department of Defense. The basic principle of using the system is to determine location by measuring distances to an object from points with known coordinates - satellites. The distance is calculated by the delay time of signal propagation from sending it by the satellite to receiving it by the antenna of the GPS receiver.
GLONASS(Global Navigation Satellite System) - Soviet and Russian satellite navigation system, developed by order of the USSR Ministry of Defense. The measurement principle is similar to the American GPS navigation system. GLONASS is designed for operational navigation and timing support for land, sea, air and space-based users. The main difference from the GPS system is that GLONASS satellites in their orbital motion do not have resonance (synchrony) with the rotation of the Earth, which provides them with greater stability.

Alcatel PIXI 3 (4.5) is a compact model with a 4.5-inch screen diagonal, the smartphone feels very thick. The phone's dimensions are 132x65x11.9 mm, weight is 151 grams, quite comparable to the Lenovo A328. It is noteworthy that the manufacturer’s website states the weight is 125 grams, this is an obvious mistake.

Alcatel PIXI 3 (4.5) fits comfortably in the palm of your hand thanks to its rounded edges and is quite easy to operate with one hand. Visually, the smartphone hardly stands out; it has a very typical, average design, except that the large pictures on the buttons under the screen immediately catch your eye. There was even room on the front panel for an event indicator light - it seems like a small thing, but it’s nice. It will always be clear if you missed a call or received an SMS message. The back of the phone has a rubberized soft-touch coating with a large inscription in italics “PIXI” - many may like this, but most likely it will wear out in a month or two.

Although Alcatel PIXI 3 (4.5) is made of budget plastic, the body is not so poorly assembled. It crackles slightly, and the lid can be removed with a little difficulty, but nothing extraordinary. All slots for SIM and MicroSD cards are hidden under a removable battery.

Screen - 3.3

The smartphone received a typical budget 4.5-inch display, on which they clearly decided to save money (as, indeed, on everything else).

The screen resolution is low - only 854x480 pixels. The estimated pixel density is 218 per inch. The image is blurry, and if you don't have vision problems, it won't be difficult to notice individual pixels. The type of display is not specified, it is only written that it is TFT (thin film transistor). But this is the same as saying nothing - this can be written about most modern displays. Judging by the fading of the picture with deviations, it is more likely to be TN than IPS. The display senses no more than two clicks at a time and is not equipped with a light sensor (accordingly, there is no automatic brightness adjustment). The screen is not particularly protected by anything; you can only stick a film on it separately. The range of brightness changes is not the widest - from 36 to 316 cd/m2. For darkness, 36 cd/m2 is too much. At first we weren’t even able to measure the color gamut normally - each time the colorimeter gave an error, but on the fourth attempt it still took measurements and showed something like half of the standard gamut.

Cameras - 2.5

Alcatel PIXI 3 (4.5) received two low-quality cameras of 5 and 2 MP.

The resolution is standard for a very low price, but their main problem is the lack of autofocus. Getting clear photos is problematic - the result is poor even by the standards of 5 MP cameras (for comparison, the Lenovo A2010 with 5 MP took noticeably better photos). However, the camera still has its own features, for example, a flash and an HDR mode. It's funny, but in the settings it says that the video is recorded at a maximum resolution of 840x480 pixels, but when checked from a PC it turns out to be as much as an HD resolution of 1280x720 pixels (that is, even more than what was written).

The 2 MP front camera can only take budget selfies with sepia and retro filters, as well as video with a low resolution of 640x480 pixels.

Photo from camera - 2.5

Working with text - 5.0

In addition to the standard Google keyboard, the Alcatel PIXI 3 (4.5) has Swift Key installed. It offers continuous input, marking of additional characters, and trained predictive word input. It's just that switching between languages ​​is not as convenient as with a standard keyboard - you have to hold down the space bar and pull it to the side.

Internet - 2.0

Alcatel PIXI 3 (4.5) comes pre-installed with “Browser” and Google Chrome. The first has functions such as search, adjusting the page to fit the screen width, selecting a search engine, and more. It's a pity, but adjusting to the screen width didn't work for us. Chrome, on the other hand, only boasts the ability to synchronize tabs and history with the desktop version of the program. When working with browsers, we noticed periodic stuckness on pages and a lack of RAM on the device.

Communications - 1.0

In this regard, Alcatel PIXI 3 (4.5) is a typical budget phone. It’s good that at least there is 3G support (for example, last year’s Explay Rio didn’t even have that). The phone received the following set of communications:

• 3G support (800, 1800, 2100, 2300 and 2600 MHz)
• Wi-Fi (802.11 b/g/n) with the ability to distribute Internet
• Bluetooth version 4.0
• A-GPS
• FM radio (headphones are required for this to work).

The MicroUSB connector does not support any advanced functions - only charging and connection to a PC for data exchange. I'm glad that while exchanging data, the phone remains available for work. The smartphone works with two SIM cards, but only 2G Internet is available from the second one. During test calls, we heard the interlocutor quite well, as well as he heard us. The cold start of the GPS module took about three minutes - the result is so-so, but it is considered acceptable for the first launch.

Multimedia - 3.0

Alcatel does not boast support for a large number of audio and video files out of the box. In tests, the smartphone did not play music in FLAC and video formats MPG, RMVB, FLV, and also could not cope with the HEVC video codec.

Except Google programs Music, the phone has its own fairly simple player with an equalizer. The phone comes with headphones, the sound in them is not bad for a device at this price.

There are no special settings in the video player, except perhaps repeating the video or stretching the picture to fill the entire screen.

Battery - 2.2

The Alcatel PIXI 3 (4.5) battery showed poor results, but if you look at the category up to 4000 rubles, then they are better than average.

The phone ran out of charge after 3 hours and 45 minutes of watching a movie in HD resolution at maximum brightness. In music player mode, the battery lasted for 39 hours (almost like Huawei Honor 4C). In an hour of running the GeekBench 3 Battery Test, the charge lost 19%. The phone can last for a day of work, if you don’t run applications again and save energy. The smartphone comes with a 0.55 A charger. It fully charges the Alcatel PIXI 3 (4.5) 1400 mAh battery in about two and a half hours. There is also a special economy mode, which is manually configured - you can decide for yourself which functions and applications to disable and which not.

Productivity - 1.5

Alcatel PIXI 3 (4.5) - a smartphone with performance entry level. It occasionally faltered in daily use.

The characteristics of the chipset are quite simple: a two-year-old dual-core 32-bit Mediatek MT6572 operating at 1.3 GHz. The amount of RAM is 512 MB, which is not enough, but they are clearly saving on literally everything. The smartphone often slows down, even unlocking the screen does not look smooth. In synthetic tests, Alcatel PIXI 3 (4.5) received the expected minimal results:

• in GeekBench 3 - 575 points (less than Samsung Galaxy Nexus 3-4 years ago)
• in AnTuTu – 12,259 (one and a half times lower than last year’s Asus Zenfone 4)
• and 3DMark Ice Storm Unlimited did not even want to start, just like the Extreme version. Only Ice Storm earned, in which the phone showed only 2,274 points.

The lightest and simplest games launch and run relatively well, but the heavier game Minion Rush noticeably slows down and the image is not at all smooth. You swipe up to jump, and you already have time to remove your finger from the screen, and the character is just starting to jump.

Memory - 3.0

The Alcatel PIXI 3 (4.5) has 4 GB of internal memory, which is typical for an ultra-low price. Of these, only 1.82 GB is available to the user.

But the phone has a slot for a memory card up to 32 GB. You can get to it only if you remove the cover and take out the device's battery, so there is no need to talk about hot-swapping the card. It is interesting that, in addition to photos and music, you can transfer some applications and games from the built-in memory to the card.

Peculiarities

Alcatel PIXI 3 (4.5) runs Android 4.4 OS. You can't even expect an upgrade to something newer. Let's call them features low price, support for two SIM cards, a collapsible body, almost constant “brakes” and a large PIXI inscription on the rubberized cover. We also note that initially, many applications are already pre-installed on its 4 GB of internal memory, such as social media. networks, Doctor Security antivirus and so on.
