Alcatel Idol 5 Review

The Idol 5 is indeed VR ready from the get-go, offers an atypical premium design for its category, and customizations to the software that help to make it even more useful than stock. Still, it's not without its faults, as the camera really fails to make an impression. If that's not high on your priority list, then that shouldn't be an issue. But then again, this seems more like another middle-of-the-road option for those on a budget. There's nothing fanciful about it that we haven't seen before. read more →

  • Premium design
  • It's VR-capable with the optional UNI360 VR Goggles
  • Incredible sound performance from the speakers
  • Now Key offers quick access to apps/functions
  • Disappointing camera performance
  • A fingerprint sensor is expected for the price

Alcatel Idol 5 Review

Affordable Android phones have gotten insanely good over the past couple of years, and the Alcatel Idol 5 is a prime example of this. For just $200, you're getting a phone with a metal build, great display, front-facing stereo speakers, NFC, and (mostly) smooth performance. The camera can be slow and image results are often mediocre, but if you're already on Cricket and want a good experience without going broke, the Idol 5 won't disappoint. read more →

  • Metal build Programmable
  • Now Key
  • Front-facing speakers
  • Display is way better than it should be
  • NFC for Android Pay
  • Slow camera
  • Lots of preinstalled bloatware
  • Exclusive to Cricket Wireless
