Platform
| Operating System OS => Every computer system run on a base software called Operating System (OS). Operating System controls all basic operations of the computer (such as smartphone, PDAs, tablet computers and other handheld devices). The Operating System allows the user to install and run third party applications (apps), apps are used to add new functionality to the device. | Android 6.0 Marshmallow |
| SIM SIM (Subscriber Identity Module) is a small card that contains mobile network subscriber's account information. This allows the phone using the card to attach to a mobile network. The SIM card is most commonly associated with GSM and UMTS mobile networks. Moving a SIM card from one phone to another allows a subscriber to switch mobile phones without having to contact their mobile network carrier. SIM cards can also be used by a phone to store limited amounts of data, such as phone numbers and text messages. | Micro-SIM |
Hardware
| Chipset Chipset is a group of integrated circuits designed to perform one or a more dedicated functions, often with real time computing constraints, Popular smartphones are equipped with more advanced embedded chipsets that can do many different tasks depending on their programming. | Mediatek MT8321 |
| CPU | Quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 |
| GPU GPU (Graphics Processing Unit) is a single-chip processor designed to rapidly manipulate and alter memory to accelerate the creation of images in a frame buffer intended for output to a display, This includes things such as lighting effects, object transformations, and 3D motion. | Mali-400 MP4 |
| RAM RAM (Random Access Memory) is a type of computer memory that can be accessed randomly, any byte of memory can be accessed without touching the preceding bytes that allows information to be stored and accessed quickly from random locations. RAM is the most common type of memory found in computer systems, smartphones, tablets and other electronic devices. | 1GB |
| Internal Storage Internal Storage is a data storage space (flash memory) mostly used in smartphones, tablets and other electronic devices where operating system, apps, music, photos, videos, files and other user data Is stored. | 8GB |
| Memory Card Slot Memory Card Slot is a special slot for inserting a memory card. Memory cards allow you to expand the phone's built-in memory, A memory card (sometimes called a flash memory card or a storage card) is a small storage medium used to store data such as text, pictures, audio, and video, for use on small, portable or remote computing devices such as mobile phones, mp3 players, digital cameras. | Yes |
| Sensors Sensors are electronic components that detects and responds to some type of input from the physical environment. The specific input could be light, heat, motion, moisture, pressure and location, The output is generally a signal that is converted to use in computing systems, a location sensor, such as a GPS receiver is able to detect current location of your electronic device. | Accelerometer |
| 3.5mm jack | Yes |
| Loudspeaker | Yes |
| Audio Technology | Background playback |
Battery
| Capacity Battery Capacity is a measure (typically in Amp-hr) of the charge stored by the battery, and is determined by the mass of active material contained in the battery. The battery capacity represents the maximum amount of energy that can be extracted from the battery under certain conditions. | 2580 mAh Li-Ion |
| Battery Life | 4 hours |
| Charging | microUSB 2.0 |
Camera
| Rear Camera Camera is able to capture photographs and usually videos, The most important characteristics of a camera are the resolution (measured in megapixels), lens focus type (fixed or automatic), higher megapixel cameras are known to capture higher quality photos, but not always a good measurement of the photos quality. | 2 MP |
| Front Camera | 0.3 MP |
| Video | 720p@30fps |
| Flash Flash Light => There is commonly two types of flash lights are used in camera mobile phones, LED Flash (LED flash offers lower power consumption with drive circuitry that takes up very little room, LEDs can be strobed faster than any other light source), Xenon Flash (xenon flash produces an extremely intense full-spectrum white light for a very short duration) | No |
Connectivity
| Bluetooth Bluetooth is a wireless communications technology for exchanging data between mobile phones, headsets, computers and other network devices over short distances without wires, Bluetooth technology was primarily designed to support simple wireless networking of personal consumer devices. | 4.0 |
| Wi-fi Wi-Fi is a popular wireless networking technology using radio waves to provide high-speed network connections that allows devices to communicate without cords or cables, Wi-Fi is increasingly becoming the preferred mode of internet connectivity all over the world. | 802.11 b/g/n, Wi-Fi Direct |
| USB | microUSB 2.0 |
| GPS GPS The Global Positioning System is a satellite-based radio navigation system, GPS permits users to determine their position, velocity and the time 24 hours a day, in all weather, anywhere in the world, In order to locate your position, your device or GPS receiver must have a clear view of the sky. | A-GPS |
| NFC NFC (Near field communication) is a set of standards for smartphones and similar devices to establish peer-to-peer radio communications with each other by touching them together or bringing them into proximity, usually no more than a few inches. | |
| Wireless Charging Wireless Charging (Inductive Charging) uses an electromagnetic field to transfer energy between two objects. This is usually done with a charging station. Energy is sent through an inductive coupling to an electrical device, which can then use that energy to charge batteries or run the device. | No |

I was happy with it considering the low price point. I found the tablet to be lightweight and good for kids. The screen was durable Gorilla Glass. The battery life was decent at 4-5 hours of continuous use. - Ashley MangayaLyfNworkVlogs |

I found the all-plastic build to feel cheap, with no premium quality. The Pixi is designed as a budget tablet with 3G functionality to use like a large smartphone. Overall performance was just mediocre. - donmarkon |

I found these to be decently specced budget tablets, especially with the optional 4G connectivity. The option to choose between WiFi-only and 4G models at different price points is also good. - MrJayBee |

Pros: - Lightweight and good for kids - Durable Gorilla Glass screen - Decent 4-5 hour battery life Cons: - Low quality cameras - Annoying popup notifications - Audio not very clear or loud |
Alcatel's latest foray into the budget tablet market is the Pixi, a lightweight 7-inch Android slate designed for kids and casual users.
The Pixi manages to pack a surprising amount of value into its plastic body.
Sporting a 1024 x 600 pixel TFT screen protected by durable Gorilla Glass, the Pixi delivers responsive touch and swipe performance.
The screen mirrors Alcatel's focus on function over form, with viewing angles and color reproduction taking a back seat to scratch resistance.
Powering the experience is a quad-core 1.3GHz MediaTek processor and 1GB of RAM, which provides enough horsepower for smooth web browsing and gaming.
The Pixi loads apps swiftly and handles casual games well, although graphics-intensive titles struggle at times.
On the storage front, 8GB of built-in memory is supplemented by microSD expansion up to 32GB.
For cameras, a basic 2MP rear shooter and 0.3MP front-facing camera handle photos and video calls passably.
Connectivity comes in the form of Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.0, and GPS.
The single micro USB port facilitates charging and data transfer. Battery life is reasonably strong at 4-5 hours of active use.
For software, the Pixi runs a stock version of Android 6.0 Marshmallow.
The interface is easy to use, although some users have reported annoying popup notifications.
Guest user access allows for quick tablet sharing.
In daily use, the Pixi feels swift when web browsing and handling simple apps.
Games are playable thanks to adjustable graphics settings, but occasional hiccups point to the tablet's budget silicon.
The rear camera works for document scanning, while the front camera suffices for grainy video calls.
Audio from the single speaker is functional but uninspiring.
In conclusion, the Alcatel Pixi delivers solid performance and versatility given its low cost.
While the no-frills design and average camera leave room for improvement, the snappy interface and expandable storage add appeal.
For shoppers seeking an affordable Android tablet for kids or casual use, the Pixi packs a lot of bang for the buck.
