We felt it was decent for simple tasks, but not very fast due to only having 3G connectivity. We appreciated handy gestures like double tap to wake and covering the screen to lock it. The camera quality was judged as not very fluid but decent enough for video calls. - Quick Expert Reviews |

Alcatel is bringing an affordable yet capable 8-inch Windows tablet to market early this year.
The Pixi 3 (8) LTE crams impressive specs like LTE connectivity, a quad-core processor, and microSD expansion.
The Pixi 3 clearly targets budget buyers. But Alcatel doesn’t skimp where it counts.
The tablet runs Windows 10 Mobile, taking full advantage of the touch-optimized OS.
And it packs a quad-core Snapdragon 210 processor and 1GB RAM under the hood.
This provides a responsive experience whether gaming, browsing the web, or jumping between apps.
The Pixi 3 also brings extras not always found on cheap slates. It has an 5MP rear camera, GPS, Bluetooth, and speedy LTE connectivity.
MicroSD expansion lets you grow beyond the included 8GB internal storage up to 32GB more.
And the 4,060mAh battery aims to deliver all-day endurance.
In hands-on evaluations, reviewers praised the Pixi 3's smooth performance, nice display clarity, and LTE support.
The ability to add accessories like gamepads and Bluetooth speakers enhances functionality.
Though some lamented Alcatel’s tendency to pre-install unwanted apps.
For shoppers wanting a Windows tablet on a tight budget, the Alcatel Pixi 3 (8) LTE hits the sweet spot.
It brings modern mobile power at wallet-friendly pricing. Performance that belies its cost makes it a little giant.
Alcatel simply checks more feature boxes than rivals at this end of the market.
Sure, corners must be cut to reach such low pricing. Mediocre camera quality and limited onboard storage reflect where Alcatel saved cash.
But for users focused more on web browsing and basic productivity than heavyweight gaming or media duties, the Pixi 3 looks like a winner.
Early hands-on reviews applaud Alcatel for delivering above-average specs and features.
Shoppers wanting a capable Windows tablet that won't break the bank should shortlist the Pixi 3.
Its combination of good looks, ample power, and little price cements its status as a budget overachiever.
