Positioning
The Idol line has become a kind of breakthrough for Alcatel - interesting design, good functionality, reasonable price. The appearance of the Mini version with a low price made these devices even more popular, they entered the mass segment. In fact, we can say that Alcatel has created an excellent offer in terms of price / quality ratio, materials and appearance - these models are strikingly different from what we see from most Chinese manufacturers. And the cost is at the same level.
In 2014, there were no major changes in the design, the entire line received an update of the filling, but at the same time it retained the design, which still looks the same fresh. In my opinion, Alcatel devices can be recommended as youthful, bright solutions - they will be chosen by those who prioritize not only functionality, but also how the device looks. This is a rare case where the form complements the content very well. I like the latest line of devices from Alcatel, they are quite pleasant in everyday life, but they do not grab the stars from the heavens. A kind of pragmatic choice is a phone that can be used for several years, and then change it to another. Actually, that says it all.
Design, dimensions, controls
The Idol Mini 2 line includes several models, for reasons of simplicity, you can combine them into one review, since, by and large, they are the same in the eyes of the consumer. Let's list all the modifications:
- Idol Mini 2 6016X - one SIM card, 1 GB of RAM, 4 GB of internal, microSD, UMTS 900/2100
- Idol Mini 2 6016D - two SIM cards, 1 GB of RAM, 8 GB of internal, UMTS 900/2100
- Idol Mini 2 6016A - one SIM card, 512 MB RAM, 4GB internal, microSD, UMTS 900/2100
- Idol Mini 2 6016E - two SIM cards, 512 MB RAM, 8 GB internal, UMTS 850/1900/2100
- Idol Mini 2 S 6036A - one SIM card, 1 GB of RAM, 4 GB of built-in, LTE Bands 1,2,4,7,17, no NFC
- Idol Mini 2 S 6036X - one SIM card, 1 GB of RAM, 4 GB of built-in, LTE Bands 1,3,7,8,20,28, no NFC
- Idol Mini 2 S 6036Y - one SIM card, 1 GB of RAM, 8 GB of built-in, LTE Bands 1,3,7,8,20, there is NFC
The review is based on version 6036Y, which is the best configuration for this device. All versions use a Qualcomm chipset. In Russia, the 6036Y version is sold by the Beeline operator and is partially branded by him (screensavers in the menu, and the like).

Outwardly, we are faced with a typical Alcatel - this means a nice plastic casing, a monoblock design. The manufacturer offers the model in different colors, but as a rule, you can find a dark silver device in retail.
![](https://i1.wp.com/mobile-review.com/review/image/alcatel/idol2-mini-s/off1.jpg)
The phone measures 129.5x63.5x8.5 mm and weighs 116 grams. Compact, fits well in the hand. The front panel is one-color (depending on the color of the case, for example, in the white version it is also white). It is difficult to distinguish this device from other models on the front side, it starts to play if you turn it over - a body with a slight bend, nice plastic that is resistant to abrasion. On the back you can see a large speaker, at the top - an LED flash, as well as an 8-megapixel camera with autofocus.

![](https://i2.wp.com/mobile-review.com/review/image/alcatel/idol2-mini-s/pic/01.jpg)
On the left side there is a slot for a SIM card, as well as for microSD memory cards, on the right side there is a paired volume rocker and an on / off button. The 3.5 mm jack was moved to the top end, but the microUSB - to the bottom. At the ends you can also see the microphone holes, there are two of them.

Above the screen there is a light indicator, a front camera, as well as an LED, it can be configured to work in case of missed calls or events. In general, the build quality is not questionable, but under strong compression, the back panel crackles. Someone may not like it - this does not affect the reliability of the device in any way, but the design is such that it creaks. Carelessness in the design of the apparatus, which gives such an effect. In real life, you will not pay attention to this and are unlikely to squeeze the phone like that.

Display
The device is equipped with an IPS-matrix with a diagonal of 4.5 inches and a resolution of 540x960 pixels (245 dots per inch). Multi-touch supports up to 5 touches, brightness control in automatic mode works well. The brightness margin is excellent, and the model turned out to be pleasant in terms of the way the screen works - good colors, excellent viewing angles, no complaints. It is possible that the default fonts will seem a little fishy, but you can always change them to large ones. The screen fades in the sun, but remains readable.
Battery
The handset has a 2000 mAh battery (1700 mAh in versions without LTE). According to the manufacturer, it can provide up to 400 hours of standby time and up to 13 hours of talk time in 3G. In practice, the device with quiet use - 20 minutes of calls a day, a couple of dozen SMS, an hour of listening to music and a little mobile Internet - lasts about 2 full days. At the same time, we can say that with very active use, he will be able to live until the evening of the first day, but this is an uncharacteristic use of such a device for the target audience. Such smartphones are bought mostly for calls, SMS, mail and the like. That is, this is not a typewriter for constant presence in the network, there is not enough screen diagonal for comfort. The full charging time of the battery is approximately 2 hours.
Memory, memory card, performance
The phone has 1 GB of RAM, 8 GB of built-in memory, of which 5.3 GB is available to the user for programs and their data. Memory cards are supported up to 32 GB.
The chipset in this model is Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8226, 4 cores with a frequency of up to 1.1 GHz. Graphics coprocessor - Adreno 305. In my opinion, the performance is quite excellent, no complaints, for fans of virtual parrots I will give the data from benchmarks.
Communication capabilities
The phone works in 2G (GSM / GPRS / EDGE, 850/900/1800/1900 MHz) and 3G (850/900/2100 MHz) cellular networks, as well as LTE (for Idol 2 Mini S). Available Bluetooth version 4.0 for file and voice transmission. There is a wireless connection Wi-Fi IEEE 802.11 b / g / n. The devices, of course, can be used as an access point (Wi-Fi Hotspot) or modem. USB 2.0 (High-Speed) is used for file transfer and data synchronization. There is a not very popular Wi-Fi Display function, when you can transmit a signal from your phone to another device via Wi-Fi. Traditionally, there is a Wi-Fi Direct function. There is also an option for a remote Wi-Fi display.
The device under review also has NFC, it can be used to read tags, there is a trial version of the Triger Pro program, which allows you to configure various events using NFC. There are no tags in the kit, but they can be purchased from any manufacturer, for example, Samsung.
Camera
A usual 8-megapixel camera with autofocus, there are not enough stars from the sky, it gives an acceptable quality of pictures in bright light, in the dark the result is noticeably worse. The photo part is not the strong point of Alcatel phones, however, take a look at the examples below. Video recording is supported in 1080p resolution, up to 30 frames per second.

Software Features - Android 4.3
In the Idol 2 Mini, just like in its predecessor, Alcatel uses its own software shell, which may be perceived by many ambiguously, since people often prefer "naked" Android and are quite satisfied with its capabilities.
Many functions have been greatly redesigned, Alcatel has added a number of programs that can be downloaded for free anyway, but the fact that they are preinstalled makes the device more interesting for inexperienced users.
Without unlocking the device, you can view the weather forecast for the current day. Scroll the screen to the right, there will be a calendar and a to-do list for the current day (you won't be able to enter tasks or view another day). You can also see the status line, it is also available when the screen is locked, if there is no security key or digital code.
The fundamental difference between Alcatel's approach and other shells is that they decided to abandon a separate menu for all applications. The main screen contains a weather widget and several icons. This is the starting point. Scroll the screens to the left, and there will be widgets that you install. We go to the right, and these will be program icons, also some programs have already been removed to folders, this was done by the manufacturer. You get used to such an organization instantly, it is somewhat logical and definitely has the right to life.
The settings menu now has its own settings, for example, the super-saving mode for the battery. The menu itself is also redesigned in white, which is pretty nice. In our video I am talking about most of the applications in the device and what has changed in comparison with the previous models, I don’t want to repeat myself.
Further it would be possible to dwell on each program, describe it, but I do not see much sense in this. This is a smartphone, and this software is usually known, or I touched on it in the video. So see the screenshots below.
Another part that I want to describe separately is the multimedia capabilities. The device supports unconverted video, the chipset plays 1080p perfectly, unlike its predecessor. In terms of music formats, there is support for FLAC, in addition to the usual mp3 and a number of others.
Impressions
The sound quality is excellent, your interlocutor hears you well in all conditions. The call is loud, clearly distinguishable. The vibration alert is rather weak, closer to the average, it can be missed.
The cost of the LTE version of this device in Beeline is 7,990 rubles, the difference is in NFC support, as well as 8 GB of internal memory and support for memory cards. In the version without LTE, the price is lower - 6,990 rubles. In my opinion, the target audience will be interested in a device without LTE, after all, this technology assumes active use of the network, and with a small, by today's standards, screen, it is not so convenient. I will say otherwise, you will be able to surf the net, there are no problems with this - but it is unlikely that it will be long hours, rather look at the necessary pages from time to time, chat on social networks, use Whatsapp. For this, the device is very comfortable, but you shouldn't think that it will allow you to surf the net all the time - the screen size plays a role, and this limitation cannot be bypassed.
The device turned out to be very pleasant, just like the first Idol Mini, it is a good smartphone for calls, balanced, there is nothing superfluous in it. I would like a better camera, but this is a weak point in almost all models in this price segment. Alternatively, you can consider last year's Idol Mini, which looks very interesting considering the new price - it can be found for 5,000 rubles. In large retail chains, its cost is 5,990 rubles, which makes it not so interesting against the background of the second version.
Alcatel is one of the famous brands that makes smartphones. Today we present you an overview of the technical characteristics of the Alcatel Idol 2 Mini L 6014X smartphone and a video review.

Video review Alcatel Idol 2 Mini L 6014X
The price of the Alcatel Idol 2 Mini L 6014X is subject to availability. If the model is outdated and not for sale then there is no price.
Average price for Alcatel Idol 2 Mini L 6014X in stores: 5150
Idol 2 Mini S is one of the few mid-budget models that supports 4G networks. Actually, the device itself in terms of characteristics is not far from its brother in the line, Idol 2 Mini. The phone case is made entirely of plastic. There are metal inserts on the sides. Control is carried out using 3 touch keys. The shell for Android does not differ much from other Alcatel devices: a lot of useful applications are preinstalled.
The Mini S has a 4.5 "screen diagonal, which is 0.5" less than the Idol 2. However, this does not significantly affect the usability. The display works on an IPS-matrix and supports a resolution of 960 by 540 pixels. No serious screen defects were noticed. The main 8 MP video camera does not stand out much against the background of the famous flagships from Samsung, Apple or Nokia. However, it is quite suitable for everyday use, producing photos with a maximum resolution of 3264 by 1836. The sharpness of the pictures is not the most ideal. But buying Alcatel just for the sake of a video camera doesn't make much sense. The quad-core processor allows you to run demanding 3D games, including the popular Asphalt 8.
A 2000 mAh battery is enough for 1-2 days of operation at an average load (without running games). If desired, you can enable saving mode in the phone settings. It takes about 2 hours to fully charge the battery.
The Idol 2 Mini S model is suitable for those who are not used to paying big bucks for flagship smartphones, but are not ready to give up Android. But here it is important to understand whether you need 4G / LTE without fail. If it is not necessary, then you should pay attention to the same Idol 2 Mini or older models, since in other parameters the phone is clearly stuck in the past.
The quality of a smartphone is primarily determined by its parameters. According to them, you can talk about how long the device will last you and whether it is worth purchasing such a smartphone at all. But what do the idol 2 mini specs say?
Visual component
In the Alcatel one touch idol 2 mini, the characteristics are limited to visual data. Based on them, the developers collected all the other components of the device. Its weight is only 110 grams when considering the thickness of less than 8 mm. Impressive, isn't it?
Before you is a standard candy bar with three touch-sensitive keys on the bottom. Its unique feature is the metallic silver frame, which gives the phone a touch of elegance. The body is made quite solidly. Finding fault with any backlashes or other problems is simply unrealistic. The device gives the impression of a premium class, although, in fact, it is a budget employee.
On the right there is a power button, and above the volume rocker. It is also used to block the sensor of the device. On the left is a SIM card slot covered with a flap. Below are the USB connector and microphone. The charger and headset jacks are very cleverly separated. Many users noted this as one of the brightest advantages of this device.
The rear plastic cover houses the main camera, a diode flash and an additional microphone for high-quality sound in video recordings. The front part of the device, in addition to touch keys and a screen with an oleophobic coating, has a speaker grill and a front camera.
Camera
If we talk about cameras, then the idol 2 mini's characteristics are more than acceptable. The main camera takes pictures at 5 megapixels, and video at 1280x720. All this is complemented by a fairly high-quality autofocus and elegantly integrated flash. At the same time, the pictures are obtained in quality noticeably higher than that of smartphones of other brands, whose cameras, according to statements, reach eight or even 13 megapixels.
The front camera in such a smartphone is a disadvantage for a modern person, since it is not intended for selfies, but only for communication and has a very modest resolution by modern standards - only 0.3 megapixels. If you are not a fan of photographing yourself, then this unit is the very thing.
Battery
The battery in the smartphone is lithium-ion and non-removable. Its volume is 1700 mAh. The manufacturer promises that the battery is capable of autonomously spending at least 400 hours of waiting and 5 hours of active use. An excellent result for a budget smartphone. Taking into account one SIM card and the minimum set of applications, the battery consumption is really low. And not too productive "hardware" contributes to even greater savings.
Memory and performance
We can safely say that the idol 2 mini's memory characteristics are not encouraging, but not upsetting either. These are the standard 1 gigabyte of RAM and 4 gigabytes of non-volatile or random access memory. Based on the latest technical innovations, these are not the best indicators. Although, if you remember that the device was released in 2014, there is nothing to be surprised at.
As for the "iron" component, one should not expect any special miracles either. The device has a processor capable of overclocking each of its four cores to a frequency of 1.2 GHz. These indicators are sufficient for working with simple programs like instant messengers, but no more. Do not forget that the device is primarily positioned as a fashion and at the same time budget. And in the case of an attractive appearance at a low price, you can rarely find more or less productive hardware.
To improve performance, you can root the device and remove some built-in applications. This will allow, in addition to reducing the load on the processor, to unload a certain amount of non-volatile memory, which is not too much here.
conclusions
The Alcatel one touch idol 2 mini smartphone is a 4.5-inch rugged IPS touchscreen phone. This smartphone with a low price, 4-core processor and Android 4.4 has made thousands of people fall in love with it. It will be a suitable option for those who value lightweight and Among the minuses, one can note a slot for just one SIM card, which may not be enough in today's conditions of tough competition between operators, and not the most productive hardware that lowers the comfort of use. It will ideally fit into the role of an additional gadget for use in rare cases, as the main smartphone, it will not be able to provide the full range of possibilities provided by the modern electronic world.
It announced several new models of smartphones from the Alcatel Idol 2 line. Among them was a new phone located on the border of the middle and budget price segments - Alcatel One Touch Idol 2 Mini.
Judge for yourself: the starting price of $ 230 is a bit high for a budget smartphone, and a number of technical features prevent the device from being called a full-fledged mid-range device. Definitely, a quad-core processor, good performance, nice design - it hints that the smartphone is still a mid-range device, but the display, the pixel density of which is somewhat small, spoils the overall impression a little. The fact that some versions of the device are equipped with only 512 MB of RAM cannot be encouraging either.
In terms of design- Idol 2 Mini cannot boast of any innovations: it is a typical modern touchscreen smartphone, the appearance of which combines straight lines and rounded corners. The same Lenovo or Samsung produce devices that do not differ much from this in appearance. And there is nothing to say about the countless products from "Eastern friends" copying all fashion trends. I was pleased with the build quality of the device.
An overview of the Alcatel One Touch Idol 2 Mini smartphone will allow you to get acquainted in more detail with the functionality of the device and its capabilities.
Specifications Alcatel One Touch Idol 2 Mini
Of course, the device's processor is one of its main advantages. All the same, the smartphone does not use a budget processor from MTK, but a quad-core Qualcomm Snapdragon MSM8226, operating at frequencies up to 1.2 GHz.
In 3D games, as well as when playing heavy videos, the graphics accelerator Adreno 305 comes to the rescue.
Random access memory there is 1 GB, which is not so much by modern standards, but quite enough for most tasks. But the versions with model numbers 6016A and 6016E have half the RAM - only 512 MB.
Together, this digital "team" allows the smartphone to show pretty good results: 18 thousand "parrots" in AnTuTu - although it is far from the current flagship Galaxy S6 (gaining almost 70 thousand), but quite acceptable for most gaming applications.
You can store content as in internal memory, about 6 GB or 2.5 of which is available to the user (total volume - 4 and 8 GB, respectively), and on a removable memory card. The latter is not supported in all models (only 6016X, 6016A can be up to 32 GB (SDXC standard, unfortunately, is not supported).
A lithium-ion battery with a capacity of 1700 mAh is responsible for the autonomy of the device. It is enough for 3 days of standby time, a day of listening to music with headphones and only 4-5 hours of games and watching videos.
The touchscreen of the smartphone has a glass cover, the display module itself is made using OGS technology (the sensor and the matrix are a single whole). Its use allows you to improve the quality of the picture, to achieve a smaller thickness of the device, but be careful: breaking the glass - you will have to change the entire module, even if the sensor responds perfectly to touch. This cannot be called a minus - rather, a call for caution, given the design features.
equipped with an IPS display with a diagonal of 4.5 inches. The picture resolution is 960x540 pixels, which is quite tolerable, but not enough (especially for those who were tempted to hold any flagship with Full-HD). The brightness of the screen is good, the picture is quite distinguishable in the sun. The viewing angles are excellent as well.![](https://i0.wp.com/mobcompany.info/wp-content/uploads/2015/05/TQv3BxB9vEuXQB2dfRb8Q.jpg)
The device has the main camera 8 MP and front, with VGA resolution matrix. The rear lens is equipped with both autofocus and flash. There are face detection and swing focusing functions. There are no complaints about the quality of pictures in good lighting conditions. However, in the twilight, the photographs come out "not very": there is a lot of noise, the photosensitivity is frankly insufficient. Front camera for selfies - yes.
Device multimedia capabilities
The sound quality of the speaker (located at the bottom of the rear panel) is quite acceptable, only the high frequencies pumped up a little. In combination with good headphones, the Alcatel One Touch Idol 2 Mini sounds, in general, excellent. There shouldn't be any problems with format support: Android OS has ample opportunity to install third-party players.
Works Alcatel One Touch Idol 2 Mini under system control Android version 4.3. Not the freshest, but still relevant. The graphical interface of the system has been slightly changed by the manufacturer; it also contains some applications that are not available in "pure" Android.
Pros and cons of Alcatel One Touch Idol 2 Mini
Definitely, the device is not devoid of advantages. The main ones are:
- Productive iron;
- High-quality display;
- High-quality housing;
- Nice sound.
But, the disadvantages of a smartphone cannot be missed:
- Mediocre battery
- Small amount of RAM and lack of support for memory cards (applies to individual versions).
Conclusion
As the review showed, the Alcatel One Touch Idol 2 Mini smartphone deserves a living. The model came out pretty good, quite productive. And there are no complaints about the quality of performance. We were disappointed only by the weak battery and the availability of models with reduced functionality on the market. Therefore, when buying - pay attention to the model number, so as not to be mistaken!
