Running on  the android operating system as the most widely used mobile platform on earth, Alcatel OneTouch which re-entered the smart phone ecosystem has gone swag with  Pixi 3 7″ slate tablet.

With its  attractive and promising low cost and optional 3G/4G cellular connectivity, the product, according to market indicators   is already making inroads in the emerging markets.

Display:

Known for offering value for money, the smart slate tablet, primarily designed to be used as a hand-held tablet and not as a traditional laptop is equipped with a 7 inch TFT screen with a  resolution of 1,024 by 600 pixels.

This measures out to 170 PPI pixels-per-inch (PPI), which is about average for a tablet display.

The OneTouch Pixi 3 7″ 3G also has multimedia features like FM Receiver, GPS Navigation, and Phone/Call Capability.

Built of plain ol’ plastic and sport a non-glossy, textured finish for a nice grip, the product comes  in many colors and can be paired with a matching colorful case.

Battery Life

Boasting a battery with a capacity of 2,820 mAh, a below average battery capacity for a 7 inch tablet, the battery capacity of the device  is the most accurate indicator of actual battery life. Specifically, the  tablet houses a quad core Qualcomm Snapdragon 210 system on a chip with clock speed of  1.1 GHz, which is slightly slower than average for a tablet processor.

With a quad core processor, it is interesting to note that this tablet will be more effective at multitasking compared to tablets with single core CPUs.

With 1 GB of RAM, it’s a bit lacking in memory, and will not perform as well as tablets with more RAM

The base version of the OneTouch Pixi 3 7″ 3G houses 4 GB of internal storage, which makes it a poor choice for storing multimedia.

Camera:

The smart device  has two cameras, a 0.3 megapixel front camera and a 2 megapixel rear camera. Its camera doesn’t autofocus, which can hurt image quality.

Although all  tablets have WiFi connectivity to connect to local wireless networks, this  model also has a Bluetooth 4.0 connection to pair with various accessory devices.
