Alcatel’s OneTouch Pixi 3 tablets offer value and not much else (hands-on)

Alcatel’s latest 7-inch and 8-inch Alcatel OneTouch Pixi 3 tablets don’t pack very powerful specs, but the price the company is selling them for will surely tempt you. These two tablets complement the company’s Pixi 3 range of smartphones previously announced at CES in January, and despite the low price, they sport a pretty decent plastic build. We got our hands on them here at Mobile World Congress 2015.

There are four different models, with the 7-inch model sporting three variants — Wi-Fi, Wi-Fi and 3G, and 4G. The 8-inch comes with 3G only, but has slightly better specs.

The 7-inch Wi-Fi-only model will cost a mere 69 euros ($77, £50 and AU$98), while the 7-inch 3G version is a small step up at 89 euros ($99, £64, AU$127). Lastly, the 4G model and the 8-inch tablet are a tad more costly at 129 euros ($144, £93, AU$184). The 8-inch is already shipping while the 7-inch Wi-Fi and 3G models will ship in May to Latin America, Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
