Review: Alcatel One Touch Magic (Pop C3)

Experiencing Alcatel One Touch Magic or known as Pop C3 is great and exciting. Want to know more? Then let's scroll down and take sometime to read. I want to share with you how does it look and perform.

This is a rigid and attracting box which holds several revelation including the price of this phone. From its faraway look, the unit is simple and elegant with plenty colors to show and appears to be competitive among many popular smartphones today. Do you believe?

In fact, the display screen holds a 256,000 thousand colors which is lower than the most appealing 16 Million colors appearing in most midrange to high end phones. This is a TFT display technology that you can find in most Sony Mobile/Ericsson series.

Performance is quite good with dual core MediaTek 6572. It runs smooth in Android JB 4.2.2. You can also play games such as Little Big City, Wonder Zoo, and etc. There are also other plenty of apps pre-installed like weChat, Viber, Twitter, Chrome, and etc. Another thing is the Voice Input and Sound Quality which are also impressive features.

Camera quality is 5 MP rear for 4033A and 4033E while 3.15 MP rear for 4033D and 4033X. You can also find a front camera (0.30 MP). Take note: No led flash.

Here is the sample shot taken from two different phones.

5 MP Alcatel OT (no flash)

5 MP Sony Xperia (no flash) 

My opinion says: Sony Xperia "clear and shiny". Alcatel Magic "blurry and dull".


Browsing speed is good with wifi b/g/n. You can enjoy surfing and downloading music/photos/documents. Browser is running under HTML which misses a few points among many new phones running under HTML5.

Battery has only capacity of 1,300 mah that will last a day or less depending on your use. Better be sure to bring your charger with you.

Price is 4,000 Php----> I almost forgot to place.

Ooops...
