Alcatel 3L: Bringing improved low-light camera performance to affordable smartphones
With the triple-camera setup on the Alcatel 3L, getting an affordable phone no longer means you need to sacrifice on imaging performance. The 48MP AI main rear sensor is capable of delivering clear photos and videos in low light conditions, thanks to the built-in 4-in-1 big pixel technology that combines four pixels into a larger 1.6μm 12MP image to increase light sensitivity. It also utilizes AI algorithms to automatically identify up to 22 different scenes, optimizing the image based on its category. Additionally, a 5MP camera is equipped with a 115° super wide-angle lens, allowing users to capture as much of the scene as possible, and a 2MP rear camera with a macro lens to take close-up photos in incredible detail. Also, the 8MP front camera with LCD flash allows for top class photos for users.

This approach enables each phone to exhibit a variety of different colors using spectacular shifting patterns that resemble the Aurora Borealis, the mysterious Northern Lights.
Designed with an expansive 6.22-inch HD+ Vast display, the Alcatel 3L provides users with vivid visuals.
