Alcatel OneTouch Pop 8 Pro Reviews

The Alcatel OneTouch Pop 8 is a device that focuses on a budget price rather than specs. The version we tested (with mobile data on board) is competitively priced, and might lure in buyers who absolutely must have a mobile data-enabled tablet on the cheap. The price for that model of the Pop 8 is set at around €200 ($275), but that price may vary across markets. There might also be an even more affordable Wi-Fi-only version of the tablet that we did not test. With that said, the OneTouch Pop 8 has some serious rivals that offer more advanced features in practically every other aspect. The Nexus 7 is a more powerful tablet with a vastly better 7-inch display and a more capable camera. In the world of 8-inch tablets, the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 outshines it with a more powerful processor and a much better camera (but it does not support mobile data). And if you are specifically looking for a device that supports mobile data, the LG G Pad 8.3 comes to mind - it’s slightly more expensive, but it offers a superior display, a very nice and sturdy aluminum body, zippier internals, and a better camera. All in all, it's hard to recommend the Alcatel OneTouch Pop 8 for reasons other than price, and if you're looking for advanced features, there seem to be better alternatives out there.
