Build and Screen
The tablet features a plastic chassis, which is not surprising given its price point. However, the build quality is a bit impressive and the patterned rear makes for comfortable grip.
Alcatel Pixi 3 (7) is about 9.2mm thick while weighing in at 260 grams. As its name indicates, the tablet packs in a large 7-inch diagonal display with an entry-level resolution of 600 x 1024 pixels. The low screen resolution means a pixel density of 170 ppi, which does not make for great clarity.
Camera and Storage
Granted tablets are not suited for picture-taking; still, the snappers provided here are rather poor. You get a 2-megapixel camera with no flash on the rear and a VGA or 2-megapixel front-facing sensor. The internal storage has an equally measly 4GB capacity, but you will be able to expand this using a microSD card.
Processor, RAM and OS
The 3G model of the Alcatel Pixi 3 (7) comes with a dual-core MediaTek processor, while the Wi-Fi only model uses a quad-core MediaTek processor. Both chips, clocked at 1.3 GHz, are paired with a measly 512 MB of RAM.
The 4G LTE model promises better performance being equipped with a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon 210 processor running at 1.1 GHz and married to 1 GB of RAM. Both the 3G and Wi-Fi only models boot a rather obsolete Android 4.4 KitKat OS, while the 4G LTE model runs on the more recent Android 5.0 Lollipop.
Other Features
The Alcatel Pixi 3 (7), except for the Wi-Fi only model, can be used for making voice calls. It is fitted with a 2820mAh battery which looks like one capable of supporting long hours of use. Connectivity features include microUSB 2.0 and Bluetooth 4.0 or 4.1, depending on model. GPS with A-GPS is available to help you find your way around easily.
