Alcatel OneTouch Pixi 7 4GB – Brand New

Description

Software and Storage

The Pixi 7 isn’t spritely in name only—its internal storage space is truly minuscule, with just 1.53GB of 4GB available. The rest is taken up by apps and the OS, a lightly skinned version of Android 5.1 Lollipop. Alcatel’s UI modifications are similar to those you’ll find in the Yoga Tab. There are only some minor cosmetic changes for icons and widgets. Otherwise, this is pretty close to stock Android.

Conclusions

The Alcatel OneTouch Pixi 7 is a very small tablet that connects to Sprint’s network. If you need a tiny tablet with LTE it could work in a pinch, but you’ll be faced with lackluster performance, a poor display, and very little storage. If you’re looking for a small, affordable tablet and can get by on Wi-Fi (or with a hotspot), we recommend the Amazon Fire. It’s one-fifth the price of the Pixi 7, and offers smoother performance all-around. If you don’t mind something a bit bigger, the video-centric Yoga Tab 3 gets you a larger, sharper display for less money. Another interesting alternative is a phablet like the 5.7-inch Samsung Galaxy Note 5 or Galaxy S6 edge+, though you’ll be paying a hefty premium.
