Alcatel has refreshed its A3 series of tablets that it launched last year. The new tablet is also named A3 10 so that’s a bit of a confused branding. The refreshed tablet retains the price tag of its predecessor and has some minor improvements on its DNA. The company launched a WiFi variant of the same in February and this is a 4G LTE variant that launched today.
The new Alcatel A3 (2018) has a 3D texturized back that helps in grip and is comfortable to handle. IT has a 10-inch IPS display with a resolution of 1,280 x 800 pixels. The slim tablet has a 1.1 GHz quad-core processor at its core. The Wi-Fi variant had a MediaTek MT8127 processor that was clocked at 1.3 GHz. This 4G variant seems to be a downgrade from that. Besides the processor is 3GB of RAM and 16GB of onboard storage. Thankfully, it is expandable via a micro SD card.
