As its name seems to indicate, the Alcatel OneTouch Fierce XL is a plus-size smartphone that is aimed at users who desire decent multimedia experience without having to pay a lot. The entry-level device features an HD display, decent memory, a quad-core processor and 4G connectivity.
Build and Screen
This phone, unsurprisingly, sports a plastic chassis, which doesn’t do much to conceal its budget status. It can neither be considered slim nor lightweight at about 9.4 millimetres and 170 grams respectively.
The Alcatel OneTouch Fierce XL crams in a 5.5-inch touchscreen with a resolution of 1,280 x 720 pixels and features impact-resistant glass. Ordinarily, this display should offer enjoyable wide-angle viewing being based on IPS technology, but the resolution somewhat limits what to expect.
Camera and Storage
The OneTouch Fierce XL has an 8-megapixel snapper on the rear and comes with a piece of software that enables you take Polaroid pictures. But the 2-megapixel camera on the front will likely do little to appeal to most selfie enthusiasts.
For storage, there is 16 GB of internal storage memory, although about 6 GB of this has already been taken up by system resources. However, Alcatel allows you to expand storage space by a maximum of 32 GB using a microSD card.
Processor, RAM and Operating System
Beneath the surface, the Alcatel OneTouch Fierce XL is equipped with a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 210 processor clocked at a speed of 1.1 GHz. The chip is paired with RAM of 2GB capacity.
With this configuration, you should expect decent performance, but nothing out of the ordinary. The handset boots Android 5.1 Lollipop operating system and that there is a good thing.
Miscellaneous Specifications
Power will be supplied to the Alcatel OneTouch Fierce XL by a 2,500mAh battery, which the phone maker says will deliver up to 12 hours of talk time.
The device allows you enjoy the best mobile data download speeds with its LTE support. There is also Bluetooth and Wi-Fi for wireless connectivity. Both mobile Wi-Fi hotspot and Wi-Fi calling are supported as well.
Pricing and Availability
Alcatel One Touch Fierce XL is not yet available in Nigeria. When available, you can buy it at leading online stores in the country. Alcatel One Touch Fierce XL Price in Nigeria is expected to range from N25,000 to N35,000 depending on your location in Nigeria.
