    assuming this is the same, then this is the minimum std. phone w/ 720p

    This optus model does not support 3G 850MHz and 4G 850MHz.

    I asked alcatel before, they confirmed as follows,

    Thank you for contacting Alcatel.
    I am writing you in regards to your concern that you are asking about A3 phone (that you purchased from Optus) if support UMTS 850.
    I would be happy to assist you on this one.
    With regards to your concern our engineering team has replied that A3 phone doesn't support UMTS 850 and the website information provided is not correct.

  • A3 is an enormous size for a phone don't you think? Where could you put it? 😁

      Where ever it fits.

  • i picked one of these up awhile back - the battery life is pretty bad, even with low use and not removable either. It's a good backup, or one for a parent to tinker with.

    • It's a screenshot.

  • Android 6.0? I know it’s cheap, but this will be 3 version behind in a few months.
