The new Alcatel 1X is the latest budget smartphone from the firm, launched at CES , offering up a decent size screen and solid build at a highly attractive price point.

ready, set, go.

This makes it comfortable to hold in the hand, although the finish may not be for everyone and it does feel a little cheap. You'll find the power and volume keys on the right side in easy to reach locations, while on the left you get the SIM tray. On the top edge there's a headphone jack, and on the base a microUSB port alongside a speaker and microphone. In some regions, the Alcatel 1X will come with a rear mounted fingerprint scanner - already confirmed for the UK - while other regions will miss out on this slice of biometric tech. All models of the Alcatel 1X will come with Face Key, which is the firm's own face unlock system.

It means it could end up filling pretty quickly, but the Alcatel 1X comes with a microSD slot, allowing you to build on that with cards up to GB in size. In terms of battery you're looking at a 3,mAh power pack, with no fast or wirless charging options, although battery life should be okay with its HD display and lesser internals.

The camera quality is passable for this price point, but it's not going to wow you.
