Reviews for the Alcatel A30

70% Alcatel A30 TabletSource: PC Mag Archive.org versionFor $125, the Alcatel A30 is a little pricier than tablets with similar specs, but you get the benefit of cellular connectivity, a feature that isn't common at this price range. Add to that 2GB of RAM, a decent display, an IR blaster, and good battery life, and you have a solid media tablet. The Amazon Fire HD 8 remains our Editors' Choice thanks to its stereo speakers, built-in parental controls, and lower price, but the A30 is a great alternative if you want access to the Google Play store or need cellular connectivity. There's also the 7-inch Amazon Fire 7 for just $50, though performance takes a hit. Single Review, online available, Short, Date: 06/28/2017Rating: Total score: 70%60% Alcatel A30Source: PC Mag Archive.org versionThe Alcatel A30 is a decent budget phone, especially if you're looking for a backup or starter device. For less than $100 you get good network performance, an HD display, and a fairly recent version of Android. But Alcatel makes quite a few compromises to reach that price point, including a slow processor, lackluster battery life, and poor camera quality. The A30 is still a reasonably solid choice for the price, but it's hard to fully recommend when other affordable phones like ZTE's Avid Trio and Zmax Pro, and LG's Stylo 3 are out there. Even the older Blu R1 HD remains a solid alternative. And while the Motorola G5 Plus is a decent step up in price ($184.99 for the Amazon Prime model), you get a tremendous increase in specs, performance, and features, making it our Editors' Choice.
