The alcatel 1X has a modest starting price of €100, but it runs the latest Android 8.1 Oreo. It should be noted that this is Android Go Edition, due to the low-ish hardware specs. The phone has an 18:9 screen, 5.3" in diagonal, and a fingerprint reader on the back (the latter available only in some regions).
The camera is pretty solid, though it varies by region - you get either 13MP or 8MP. The good news is that both record 1080p video and have Electronic Image Stabilization (plus Photo Booth and Social Square modes). The selfie cam is a 5MP shooter with dedicated flash (it doesn't support face unlock).
That's the good news, but in this price range some concessions have to be made. The chipset comes with an unimpressive quad-core processor and the base memory option gives you only 1GB of RAM. You can get an upgrade to 2GB, but the built-in storage is fixed at 16GB in both cases (there is a microSD slot, though).
The screen is nothing to write home about with its 480 x 960px resolution, which is a bit low even in the €100 price range. The battery is on the small side with 2,460mAh capacity too.
The alcatel 1X will launch in April in single SIM (€100)(R1422,33) and dual SIM (€110)(R1564,56) versions. Some models will have a soft touch Suede finish.
Exchange Rate - 1 Euro = R14,22
