Program to tracker phone Alcatel 1X

Travel and feedback of both keys is quite good. A SIM card tool is required to eject it.

A standard headphone jack is on the top edge, and a microUSB port unfortunately still common to low-cost devices is on the bottom edge. As mentioned, a single piece of plastic forms the rear and sides of the 1x. You'd be forgiven for thinking that the shell pops off, but you'd be wrong. There's no access to the 1x's internal battery.

The camera module protrudes just a bit, while the fingerprint reader is indented a bit. Both have a chrome rim to help them stand out visually. I was able to locate the fingerprint reader with my forefinger by feel quite easily. The Alcatel is a plain, serviceable piece of hardware. It is about as vanilla as you can get. Alcatel is now using screens made by TCL Display, its partner company. That's one reason why Alcatel was able to adopt the modern shape on such a low-cost phone. Sadly, it's not a good screen. The display measures 5. Graphics and text on the screen could be much sharper.

Beyond that, the LCD panel simply looks dull.

Colors are flat, and it could stand to produce more light. Viewing angles are pretty poor, with a major drop in brightness when the phone is tilted. Alcatel sells the 1x to U.

Without these bands you might experience poor service when the network is congested. It remained on 4G throughout the time I spent reviewing it. Most calls patched through on the first attempt, and the phone didn't drop any calls on the highway. Data speeds were definitely limited. The peak download I saw with the phone was just 9 Mbps. That's pretty slow for an LTE device.

Even so, YouTube was able to stream standard quality videos without much buffering. Browsing social networks on the phone felt slow. Call quality is so-so at best. The calls I patched through were bad as often as they were good, with the majority being a mix of mediocrity thanks to distortion. The earpiece doesn't put out enough volume to hear calls over the chaotic din of city streets or the gurgle and hiss of an espresso machine doing its thing at your corner coffee shop.

People I spoke to through the 1x said I sounded just "okay. The speakerphone doesn't perform any better. Calls are scratchy and too quiet. Holding a speakerphone call in a moving car was frustrating. A 2,mAh battery is sealed under the rear panel of the 1x. Thanks in part to the power-sipping nature of the low-res screen, the 1x delivers fairly good battery life.

How to find or track my 1x

Alcatel says you can get up to 26 hours of talk time with the phone. I didn't gab with anyone quite that long, but I did use the phone for a full day without draining the battery entirely. That's pretty solid if you ask me.

It's the scaled-down version of the operating system for entry-level smartphones. But, it's all part of Google's Android ambitions to crack emerging markets and attract millions more users. The Android Go program — not to be confused with Android One, which specifically designed affordable hardware that ran Android software for emerging markets — aims to bring the operating system to more than entry-level smartphones in areas affected by slow connectivity and less access to high-end devices.

Go was originally announced in May launched last year and Google says it has reached more than countries including India, Nigeria, Brazil or South Africa. Read our guide to the best Android phones for our current top picks. Even the most affordable smartphones can benefit from the Pie improvements.

In Go, these improvements have been tailored to the needs of smartphone users in emerging markets, such as the lack of connectivity. Google has recreated all of its own apps as lighter versions and bundled them with the Go operating system. YouTube Go, for instance, offers free downloading for offline viewing, a feature that cannot be found in the regular app. But the biggest change in the Go edition of Pie is increased storage: not only are there fewer pre-installed apps, but those remaining are 50 per cent smaller in size.

The Files Go app also allows to quickly find unwanted files to get rid of them. According to Google, this will enable devices running Go to have twice as much storage space available than non-Go edition phones. Unfortunately, Alcatel had nothing to share when it comes to OS updates. At the end of the day, Alcatel and Google managed to put software on hardware and made them work together harmoniously, more or less.

We look forward to seeing what other manufacturers were able to achieve with Android Go. Stay tuned for more coverage from MWC in the coming days.
