T-Mobile's Alcatel POP 7 LTE is a cheap Android 6.0 Marshmallow tablet with cellular connectivity
If you're on the lookout for an Android slab that can replace (at least partially) your laptop, then the Alcatel POP 7 LTE isn't for you. However, if you're looking for a cheap LTE-equipped Android tablet that can go through basic tasks, then POP 7 could be just what the doctor ordered.
The 7-inch display runs at a resolution of 1024 by 600 pixels, which squares out at a pixel density of 169.55 PPI, which is well below average. The processing power is drawn from a Qualcomm Snapdragon chipset with a quad-core processor paired with 1GB of RAM. Since Alcatel and T-Mobile do not disclose the exact chipset model, we're inclined to believe that an entry-level Snapdragon 400 or 410 is to be found under the hood.
In the camera department, the slab is equipped with 5MP primary camera and a 2MP secondary shooter. Other specs include a 3240mAh battery and 4G LTE support.
Given that most entry-level Android devices use old versions of the operating system, it came as a pleasant surprise to learn that T-Mobile's POP 7 LTE ships with Android 6.0 Marshmallow on board.
What do you guys think of the Alcatel POP 7 LTE? Can you think of a better LTE-equipped Android 6.0 Marshmallow tablet priced below the $150 mark?
