Review on Alcatel GO FLIP V 4051S Verizon 4G LTE: Unleash the Power of Connectivity by Vn Dng Hong

MANUFACTURER - OW! The firmware of the phone needs to be ated and made publicly available on your website - there are a lot of software flaws in the phone. So that the people who bought this crude phone could bring it to some acceptable form. Its pros: Relatively decent screen for phones of this class. Great keyboard. Small and light. Holds a charge for quite a long time in standby mode. Cons: The main advantage is VolLTE support. VolLTE support - and the main drawback. Now 2G voice communication in 2022 cities is often very poor. Specially bought this phone for voice calls in 4G network. In standby mode, the phone shows the 4G icon. But when making calls, the phone stubbornly switches to 2G with all the consequences. It turns out that for voice transmission over 4G, the operator needs support for VoLTE technology, and not all operators in 2022, even in Hong Kong, provide it. Those in 90% of cities in the 2022 will have 4G in this phone only for access to the Internet, all calls will go over 2G. All these things are not reflected either in the description of the phone or in its instructions, you will find out about this only after the purchase, alas. Before buying, check if YOUR operator supports the VolLTE service in YOUR city. If not, then buy any button-operated second cheaper. A list of contacts is shown in a very inconvenient form, and even in VERY small print. Search in contacts is something, I have never come across such an inconvenient option :(. Quiet and muffled sound in the speaker even at maximum volume. Normal volume only when switched to speakerphone mode. But when switching the sound of the speaker / loudspeaker, the volume settings of their sound are reset to default. :( A WILD feature - the phone does not see the 4GB memory card inserted into it! And without it, the voice recorder does not work.
