\"\"<\/p>\n

Alcatel 3T 8<\/strong> is TCL\u2019s newest budget tablet, it\u2019s 8.24 inches tall and can be bought outright for $150 through T-Mobile. It has built-in features that make it great for the whole family\u2019s entertainment, especially the kids. <\/span><\/p>\n

It has CloserTV app, Eye Care Mode (blue light reduction\/eye protection), and built-in parental control called Kids Mode. The Kids Mode feature has a parental control panel that allows you to limit the usage time and choose only the apps your children can use. <\/span><\/p>\n

The Eye Care Mode is exclusive to Alcatel and it\u2019s especially helpful in relieving visual fatigue coming from the blue light due to long hours of screen time. It offers optimized brightness and tonality both in daylight and at night. <\/span><\/p>\n

The best thing about this tablet is that it supports T-Mobile 600mHz network, which means it can get better reception even when you\u2019re indoors or in an enclosed area. Now you can enjoy fast 4G LTE speeds that reach even when you\u2019re inside your home!<\/span><\/p>\n

Alcatel 3T Specs and Features <\/b><\/p>\n

Alcatel 3T 8 comes with the latest Android operating system, Android 8.1.0 Oreo. It has a vibrant 8-inches display, super-fast 4G LTE capability and 5 MP front and rear cameras. <\/span><\/p>\n

It has 2GB of RAM and 16GB of ROM, expandable up to 128GB microSD card and runs on a 1.5GHz Quad-Core processor. With just 2GB of RAM, you cannot expect this tablet to multi-task and run several apps at the same time in the background without experiencing lags. Due to the limited RAM, use of heavy gaming apps and social media apps may not be as seamless as compared to that of using your mid-range smartphones. <\/span><\/p>\n

Quick tip: the best way to optimize the speed of your tablet or smartphone is to close all the apps running on the background. With the android Oreo operating system, you can do this by simply tapping on the burger (three horizontal lines) icon located at either the bottom right or left portion of the display screen. <\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

By tapping on the burger button, you will see all the apps that are running on the background and you can close all the remaining apps you do not wish to use. Doing this will optimize your device\u2019s speed again and will help you avoid unnecessary lag.<\/span><\/i><\/p>\n

Moreover, the Alcatel 3T 8 comes with a gargantuan 4080mAh battery with a standby time of up to 400 hours in the 4G network. Despite its huge battery size, it won\u2019t last you a day of video streaming because the average usage time for LTE video streaming is only 6.7 hours. If you\u2019re video streaming via Wi-Fi, it will last you a little longer, which is approximately 8.35 hours.<\/span><\/p>\n

Alcatel 3T Build and Design <\/b><\/p>\n

This family-friendly tablet is offered only in one color, which is metallic black. It has a considerably ergonomic 10.37oz of weight and comes with an Asahi glass. It is comfortably slim just like your regular smartphone, but it doesn\u2019t have the most stylish look. <\/span><\/p>\n

It doesn\u2019t look remarkably amazing on a first look, but with bezels on all 4 sides of the display, you\u2019ll have ample room to hold it comfortably without accidentally touching the screen.<\/span><\/p>\n

Alcatel 3T 8 vs Lenovo Yoga Tab 3 8\u201d vs Samsung Galaxy Tab A 8.0<\/b><\/p>\n

In the table below, we compared the tech specs of Alcatel 3T 8\u201d to two of the Android tablets within its price range. Though the Alcatel tablet doesn\u2019t particularly stand out or have a \u201cwow\u201d factor, it\u2019s clear that its manufacturer chose to make up with the lack of luster by being in the middle; offering features that some brands don\u2019t and by serving a specific target market: parents with kids. <\/span><\/p>\n

Lenovo\u2019s tablet clearly has the \u201cwow\u201d factor because of its cool features: rotatable camera, versatile design, Dolby Atmos speakers, and a really huge battery size which is a power bank at the same time. <\/span><\/p>\n

Samsung\u2019s tablet, on the other hand, doesn\u2019t come out with a spectacular design like that of Lenovo Yoga, but it makes up for having a better camera and video recording quality.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
