The French-American, or simply Alcatel, is a manufacturer that has put a lot of effort into producing a strong and competitive economic range in all its lines of smart devices. Obviously, tablets are no exception.
The common denominators of the alcatel tablets are the simple but resistant designs, software without great pretensions, but compliant and, above all, its very affordable prices.
In this post we talk about four devices that are the best and most recent of this brand.
Four models of Alcatel tablets from 2020 and 2021
We invite you to learn about the characteristics and main advantages of these tablets:
Tablet Alcatel 1T 10”
Alcatel 1T 10″
- Screen 10″ with 1,280 x 800 pixel resolution (HD+)
- Processor MediaTek MT8167B
- RAM 2GB
- Storage 32 GB (expandable up to 128 GB by microSD)
- double stereo speaker
- Rear camera 2 MPx and front 2 MPx
- Bluetooth 4.0 and Wi-Fi
- Battery 4,800mAh

Alcatel did not miss the opportunity to relaunch some of the devices that brought good dividends in the past and such is the case of the Tablet 1T 10”, which came out in 2020. It focused its improvements on the screen, now with LCD technology, with quality HD+ and with a resolution of 1280 x 800.
With these features, the final product is a panel where the image is obtained clean and homogeneous, so it is a good option to enjoy audiovisuals.
The device integrates a 1.3 GHz quad-core processor, which is accompanied by 1 GB RAM. It is clear that its benefits are modest, appropriate for a tablet basically dedicated to unpretentious entertainment. Other demands would be reflected in the price, when the goal is to keep it in the budget range as much as possible.
The storage capacity is 16 GB, with the possibility of extending it through the use of a microSD card of up to 128 GB. The equipment incorporates a 4,080 mAh battery with quite good autonomy.
The main point against it is that supports Internet connectivity via Wi-Fi only, when most of its competitors have already incorporated access to the mobile data network. However, despite this detail, you may find its monetary value more than competitive.
Tablet Alcatel 3T 10.1”
Alcatel 3T 10.1″
- Screen 10.1″ with 1,280 x 800 pixel resolution (HD+)
- Processor MediaTek MT8766B/ Snapdragon 439 Quad-core

- double stereo speaker
- Rear camera 5 MPx and front 5 MPx
- connectivity 4G LTE.

- Battery 5,500mAh
- OS Android 10
Relaunched just a few months ago, during the third quarter of 2021, the 2T 10.1” has few differences with the 1T 10”, but they are very marked.
First of all, the screen becomes LED technology, with which, although the resolution values are maintained, a much more attractive image service is achieved, with better brightness and sharpness values. Our tests indicated a notable improvement, especially when used outdoors.
There is also a step forward in terms of processor, since the Alcatel 3T 10.1” tablet integrates a 2 GHz quad-core combined with 2GB RAM. Although it doesn’t sound like much, a device with a better Internet connection and multitasking capabilitiesalthough it is still a device designed for entertainment.
The internal storage is 32 GB and supports a microSD card of up to 256 GB, with which a more than acceptable storage capacity is achieved. The battery increases its capacity to 5,500 mAh and, what must be considered main: connectivity to the LTE (4G) data network is incorporated in addition to Wi-Fi.
You should not overlook that the increase in benefits between one device and the other materializes monetarily in less than 60 euros of difference in the respective prices.
Tablet Alcatel 1T 7”
Alcatel 1T 7″
- Screen 7″ resolution 1,024 x 600 pixels (HD)
- Processor MediaTek MT8765B

- Rear camera 2 MPx and front 2 MPx
- connectivity 4G LTE.
- Bluetooth 4.0 and Wi-Fi
- Battery 2,580mAh
- OS Android 10
Although it is a modest device among modest ones, the 1T 7” It is not without interesting points that you should assess before discarding it. First of all, there is its manageability, since it weighs only 245 grams, that is, we are almost talking about a phone with the features of a tablet.
The screen yields in terms of resolution and size (1024 x 600 pixels and 7 inches) but compensates with the use of technology. After testing it, we can say that does not clash when consuming audiovisuals, while, for other activities such as reading, the benefits comply with solvency.
The pleasant novelty is that the equipment integrates a 1.28 GHz quad-core processor that, among other improvements, allows you to incorporate the option of LTE connectivity to the device. The RAM memory is 1 GB, which gives acceptable performance coverage to the processor.
We already said it, the Tablet 1T 7” offers the possibility of connecting to the LTE (4G) mobile data network as well as via Wi-Fi. The same model has a variant that only offers a Wi-Fi connection, which is reflected in a difference of more than 50 euros in the price of one and the other.
The 1T 7” It has an internal storage capacity of 16 GB and supports a microSD card of up to 128 GB. At the same time, its battery has a capacity of 2,580 mAh.
Tablet Alcatel 3T 8”

- OS Android 10
Now let’s go with what It may be the most interesting of the options that we present in this post.. The 3T 8” It comes equipped with almost all the features of the 3T 10.1” and, although it falls short of this screen size, it has an ace up its sleeve that could make you forget that aspect. Let’s see:
like the 3T 10.1”the 3T 8” It has an HD+ LED technology screen, with a resolution of 1280 x 800. The storage capacity is identical (32 GB of internal memory and up to 256 GB on micro SD card); as is its connectivity format (Wi-Fi + LTE). On the other hand, the battery of the 3T 8” It has a somewhat smaller capacity (4,080 mAh), but such a reduction is not noticeable given the differences in dimensions.
The processor is also the same, a 2 GHz quad-core Mediatek MT8766B combined with 2 GB RAM, which provide smoother operation considering the lower demand resulting from a smaller screen.
So, What is the big star of the team 3T 8”? The price! Indeed, basically, the Alcatel 3T 8” tablet only yields in terms of screen size compared to the 3T 10.1”. However, the difference in monetary cost is more than 45 euros. Nothing insignificant when economy is an important factor in this range of devices.
