This is really a best phone with 6" screen, and display is very good in best price. I like this phone. This is more what I expected.

It was 100 dollars, it's a pretty good phone considering it was so cheap, battery life could be better and the fact it is not rooted sucks. Given the 6in screen having the option to split screen 2 apps would have been great, but it is not available in the UI and since there is no root you can't enable it in dev. options either.
It lags quite a bit if you have more than 10 apps installed/running in the background. Camera quality is meh. No screen protectors or cases easily available at any store.

I needed a phone to replace my old galaxy note. I was ready to pick up a note 7 when they were recalled & I needed a larger, unlocked, non-contract phone. Compared to 'flaship phones' & their specs, this phone performs pretty speedy as a daily phone with no lag IMO (I tried a BLU Studio XL LTE & it was so slow I had to return it). Features that I think are worth the price:
+6" screen (1280 x 720 - good enough for the price)
+Unlocked (gets LTE on AT&T & T-Mobile)
+expandable storage
+android 6.0
+FM RADIO!!
cons -
-non removable battery, but not a deal breaker for the price
-camera might not be up to flagship level specs, but I don't care about selfies
-I managed to find screen protectors, but could not find a case for this phone ANYWHERE, not even on Alcatel's web site (if you care about those accessories). But then again you might not worry about trashing an $80 phone.
maybe Alcatel can throw in a screen protector and a silicone skin on their next model!!!

This is my first Smart Phone and I'm a Tracfone user. It was very easy to get my remaining minutes, etc transferred to the phone. It does everything I need it to do and more!! From what I read about other phones before purchasing this one I see that the camera isn't as good as some other phones, but for the price it just fine. The size is great for me because I don't need to use a tablet. It's not as big as a tablet, but works just as good for me. If you want more of a camera I think you will have to spend a lot more money. Otherwise I see no reason to spend more on a phone because this one handles just about anything I need it to do.

I was looking for a relatively cheap, unlocked smartphone and found it with the Alcatel PIXI 4. Usability is comparable with other Smartphones I owned previously. The Dual-Sim-feature uses mini-Simcards (a quite useful infotmation to put on the wrapping) and works without issue. With my user-profile (no streaming, but updating my social-media regularly) one charge will last at least two days. It is a bit too large for my personal taste, but fits in almost every pocket. The camera is one weak component and does not work well with bright or artificial light. If you're looking for a protective case or specific accessories you'll probably figure out that this phone is not very common and almost not supported. A bonus is its sturdiness, because I dropped it twice on hard surfaces and it is still working and has no dents or scratches.

Bought this unlocked phone to use outside USA and am very happy it worked in UK's network so I am satisfied with the price I paid for the device for this model.
The only drawback is that the battery power drains out quickly when watching videos but it being use at home only this is fine too.

Pros
Dual sim
Expandable storage
Android 6.0

2gb ram
Cons
Build quality. Noticeable dead pixel and strange scuff like marks on rim of phone.
Snapdragon 210 is pretty slow, Fallout shelter takes about a minute to load.
No cases or screen protectors anywhere.
Screen is not bad and not great. The vivid option is horrible.
Speaker is so so.
Wouldn't buy again. Would pay $50 more for idol 3 or moto g 4.

This is one of the best phone ever I bought for my daughter. Smartphone with 6" screen, but not glass, dual sims with microsd slot, android phone with selfy flash and the best is less than $200. She can throw it as much as she can without worrying about breaking the screen or needing a cover or screen protector, leave anywhere without worrying about anyone would steal it. Great Phone last almost 2 years. Kids love big screen, very light phone. Worth every penny I spent. About 2 years and still stand. She refused to upgrade to iPhone, unless it is a Samsung phone. I reccomended this phone for parents with teenager!

I got it on sale for$100. So I can't complain. I love the screen size. Apps crash from time to time. It gets sluggish as well, but I'm also impatient, so it could be perfect for others. It has no problem

Okay for the price. I like the big screen and dual sim cards. It does have some issues such as performing tasks without being prompted to do so, poor volume even when speaker is on, and dropping calls.

I bought it because dual SIM feature- No issues with it, both SIMS works work at a time (in stand by), so at any time I can use any SIM (one at a time). The screen has a good bright in exteriors even below the sun light, the size is excellent for people with presbyopia. The mic is a bad point, you cannot use it for video calls, you need to speak with the mic close to your mouth, otherwise the other person would not hear what you say; using a hands free you can overcome this issue. Finally, the phone does not support OTG. In general, the phone is according to the price.

This is NOT a $700 Samsung high end S phone. This however holds its own.
Multiple features make it stand above the rest.
Dual SIM
Big screen
Adequate storage
Vibrant colors
The price you pay for this device compensates for the plasticky screen, moderate responsiveness, average camera and necessity for SD card to be installed.
Battery life is good for the screen size
Overall a strong buy

I needed a phone with a bit screen and I have used brands Sony & Samsung. Never before Alcatel.
gave it a shot at Bestbuy. I'm thinking why didn't I buy Alcatel before?
the phone is really light for a 6-incher if you're not using a case it is light weight and fits nicely in your pocket.
Excellent call quality to begin with.
Touch response is good,
16gigs of ram is plentyful for apps.
really fast! no bloatware.
I'm in love with my new phone & glad I brought this over phones 5 times it's cost!
Now i can play around with this phone anywhere without having to be too careful due to the cost factor.

Purchased the Pixi4 (6) from my neighborhood Best Buy store. Like the 6" screen, Android 6.0 for the installed operating system, as well as the addition of Ch#12 for GSM wireless operation. This will make connecting while in outlying areas that much easier in the future. Great phone for under $100. Thanks, Best Buy!

big screen and touch screen easy to use unlike most phones that you cant figure out how to use them. volume to ring sound is loud and clear to hear. and I lke the different setting option it has to set up the phone features the way you like it. it has a lot of storage space for downloading music and pictures.the picture quality is perfect for using in day light and night. I recommend this phone and the price is very reasonably

For the price of this device and never using an Android phone, I must say I am overly impressed, especially for the price paid. However, my only dislike is finding a good case for this phone is next to impossible. I also feel as the phone is a little too large for everyday use, however I use it for work-accessing the internet, and for that it is Great and easy to use. I didn't expect the quality and responsiveness of the software, I am amazed at its usefulness. As for esthetics, it feels cheap in your hand and as stated is quite Large. I definitely feel the need for protection, your not going to find a quality case, I opted for a screen protector and I'm using a belt clip pouch when not in use. With that said, I still highly recommend this phone for the price. You won't be disappointed!
