 Alcatel Idol 5 Review: All Show, Little Go
Source: Tom's Guide EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
 EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
Alcatel has brought its attractive, but-flawed Idol 5S to Cricket as an exclusive to the prepaid carrier, but the new phone makes too many compromises to offer any appeal beyond its low price.

 Alcatel Idol 5 review: An outstanding Cricket Wireless exclusive
Source: Talk Android EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
 EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
The bottom line… I’m paying $35 per month for 5GB of LTE data and unlimited talk and text on Cricket Wireless, which runs on AT&T’s robust network. I simply can’t get over how good the user experience is for the price (both phone and network). I’ll likely run with this setup well into 2018. It’s just the principle of the thing.

 Alcatel IDOL 5 Review

 EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
Alcatel seems to have the mid-range game down and the IDOL 5 continues to show that. For $200 you are getting a smartphone that feels well crafted and not cheap. It has great sounding dual speakers; natural feeling display and quick charging for battery life. It would have been nice to put a fingerprint sensor on their though some phones in its range from Motorola incorporating it into there’s. The VR isn’t a bad add-on for $49.99 if you are curious to get into that arena. For Cricket Wireless list of phones, it wouldn’t be a bad device to pickup out of their lineup.

 Cricket Alcatel Idol 5 review: Solid mid-ranger with modern features for $200
Source: Zdnet.com EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
 EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
These mid-range Android phones have come a long way and you get a decent experience without all of the frustrations we have seen with them in the past. In the age of $1,000 flagships, it's tough to justify paying five times the price of a solid smartphone that provides a similar application and functional experience.

 Alcatel Idol 5 Review
Source: Phone Arena EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
 EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
Honestly, it's a tossup because the Idol 5 is indeed VR ready from the get-go, offers an atypical premium design for its category, and customizations to the software that help to make it even more useful than stock. Still, it's not without its faults, as the camera really fails to make an impression. If that's not high on your priority list, then that shouldn't be an issue. But then again, this seems more like another middle-of-the-road option for those on a budget. There's nothing fanciful about it that we haven't seen before.

 Alcatel Idol 5 review: One of Cricket's best
Source: Android Central EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
 EN→zh-CN Archive.org version
Alcatel's Idol 5 has a lot of good things going for it, and it comes in at a price point that's accessible to a wide array of different people – as long as you're on Cricket. The phone is an exclusive to the AT&T-powered MVNO, and if you're already on the network, it's a great buy. The addition of front-facing speakers and NFC are two items that are rarely seen in this price range, and while I wouldn't necessarily say they're worth leaving your current carrier over, we are really glad to see them present on the Idol 5.

The Idol 5 doesn’t offer anything astonishingly different to other budget handsets in terms of design, but its unique dual social account feature and creative video and photo techniques may help it stand out for the social media minded.
