Cheap and chic
The Alcatel One Touch Pop 3 is the lowest-cost device in the Pop S range, but it packs a lot of style. The device comes in five color options, and you can swap colors if you so desire. At 149 euros ($200), it won't break the bank.
Small screen
The Pop S3's 4-inch display comes in at 800x480 pixels (WVGA). With that resolution, fonts and icons don't look sharp.
Front camera
The 0.3-megapixel VGA front-facing camera won't take impressive selfies, but it's there if you want it. There's also a 5-megapixel camera on the back.
Capacitive buttons
Instead of physical buttons on the Pop S3, the phone has capacitive buttons for the home, back, and menu options.
Colorful back cover
The Pop S3 comes with five interchangeable recovers in gray, orange, blue, yellow, and pink.
Not so thin
The phone, which measures 4.84 inches by 2.54 inches by 0.39 inch, isn't particularly thin compared with other budget phones.
Internal guts
Inside, the Pop S3 has a quad-core 1.2GHz processor, 1GB of RAM, and 4GB of onboard storage that you can expand up to 32GB. It runs Android 4.3, but will get upgraded to 4.4 KitKat in May or June. There's also a removable 2,000mAh battery.
