Alcatel POP4 10 tablet review: At Rs 10,999, great choice for budget buyers

Alcatel recently launched its new 10.1-inch tablet, which supports 4G LTE in India. Priced at Rs 10,999, the POP4 10 tablet is available exclusively on Flipkart. With only 7.95mm thickness, the company claims that the Alcatel POP4 is one of the thinnest tablets available in the world.
The Alcatel POP4 10 tablet was first unveiled in CES 2018, where the company announced its global partnership with Flipkart for better consumer engagement and retail availability at a time when the tablet manufacturing industry is on an apparent decline. This is a notched-up variant of the previously released A3 10, priced at Rs 6,999.

Business Standard reviewed the Alcatel POP4 10 to test its overall performance. Here are our observations:
Design:
The POP4 10 tablet is a lightweight tablet that looks very sleek. The company claims this 10-inch Full-HD tablet is the best that a consumer can buy for latest features at such a price range in the market.
The POP4 10 has a non-mettalic body that although looks nice, collects a lot of fingerprints. The rear camera lies at the corner of the right-hand top corner. The USB port and the 3.5mm jack also sits on the top while the dual speakers are in the front of the tab.
