Alcatel V3 Ultra 5G quick 8-point review: Low-cost, high frills
Alcatel has made a comeback with its V3 series of phones in India. The V3 Ultra 5G is the most premium phone in the series. The V3 Ultra sports a 6.78-inch NXTPAPER display with a 1080 x 2460 resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. Powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset, it runs Android 14 with Alcatel’s custom UI. Here’s a quick review of the device:
Eye-Friendly Display: The full-colour electronic paper display offers paper-like clarity and comfort. Certified by TÜV Rheinland, SGS, and Eyesafe for reduced blue light and glare—ideal for long reading or creative sessions.
2/8
Versatile Display Modes: Switch between Max Ink, Ink Paper, and Color Paper modes with the NXTPAPER Key, and enjoy adaptive brightness and night mode for day-to-night usability.
3/8
Impressive Camera Setup: A 108MP main camera, 8MP ultra-wide, and 2MP macro deliver detailed shots. The 32MP front camera handles sharp selfies, and video features like Horizon Lock add stability.
4/8
Google Gemini Built-In: AI tools like Magic Editor, Photo Unblur, and AI summaries make content creation and productivity smoother and smarter.
