Alcatel has returned to the Indian market and launched three new smartphones. All three smartphones are part of the Alcatel V3 series. The brand has targeted the category of entry level and low budget 5G phones, which fall in the budget less than 20 thousand rupees. We have been using Alcatel V3 Ultra 5G for the last few days.
This phone comes with a special display, which is not seen in any phone launched in India till now. The company has named it 4-in-1 display. It also has a 108MP main lens camera, 5010mAh battery and styles. Let’s know how powerful the brand’s return to India with Alcatel V3 Ultra is.
How is the design?
The Alcatel V3 Ultra looks like any other budget phone. In the rear side you get a panel with dual finish. The camera module is a circular, which is not in the middle but in the left side. We have seen such a design in OnePlus 12 before. However, OnePlus 12 more premiums.
You will get a triple camera setup in the rear panel. The phone comes with single speaker and type-C charging port. In the right side you get volume buttons, power buttons and a special button, with the help of which you will be able to change the screen.
The in-hand feel of the phone is good. There is no place to keep styles in the phone, for that you have to use the cover. By the way, the rear panel comes with glossy finish, which is dirty quickly. It is better that you use the phone with the cover.
How is the display?
The most special feature of Alcatel V3 Ultra is its display. Four display modes are available in the phone, with the help of which you can use the screen of the phone in different formats. The display comes with matte finish, due to which there is no reflection of light. You will not get the second phone with such a display in the market.
In the phone you get the LED panel, while in many phones of its budget you get AMOLED display. However, the NXTPaper display of this handset is quite special. You can change the display in ink-paper mode, max ink mode and color paper mode by clicking.
If you say in easy language, then your phone will be completely blank and white in Max INC mode and only the necessary features will be available in it. This will give you a maximum battery life. At the same time, your phone will be like an e-radice in Ink Paper mode.
You will get an experience like paper in it. At the same time, the screen color will be colorful in color paper mode, but these colors will look light fed, like they appear in a newspaper. Overall, the main feature of this smartphone is its display and it is amazing.

How is the performance?
In Alcatel V3 Ultra 5G, you get MediaTek Dimensity 6300 processor. The company can give better processors in it. By the way, this processor is found in many 5G smartphones. Alcatel itself uses this processor in its three phones. This is why its negative point becomes.
The company is also using the processor that is using in the budget of 12 thousand rupees in its phone of 20 thousand rupees. This processor does easily from gaming to everyday work. There is no lag in the phone. The brand has opted it well, but the Alcatel V3 Ultra 5G gets Android 14.
The company gives Android 15 in both its other phones, but finds out the old Android version in the top of the line variants. In India, the company should have launched it with Android 15, which is its second negative point.
We have no problem in calling and connectivity. The phone speaker is also fine. Talking about the styling, there is no extra feature in it. With this help you can use the phone. In this you get the support of ESIM. Apart from this, you can use a physical sim and micro SD.

At the same time, the company has given a 32MP selfie camera in the front. The front camera also brings good photos. The camera autofocus is not good. The company can fix it in future updates. Apart from this, you get 1080p video recording. That is, overall camera is average.
Battery and other features
The phone has a 5010mAh battery, which gets a fast charging of 33W. The phone can be used throughout the day in single charge. It takes more than an hour to get full charge. The good thing is that the company gives you charger in the box itself, which is Type-C to Type-C. It has a side mounted fingerprint sensor, which is on the power button.
Bottom line
The question is whether you should buy this phone. Talking about Alcatel V3 Ultra 5G, you get a good camera and a great display in it. However, these displays will be more liked by those who use the phone in reading. That is, the company has targeted selected customers through this display.
If you talk about over all feature experience, then the phone offers good values ​​but many other smartphones offer better value in this budget. The company will give this phone a three -year OS update and a four -year security update. Only 128GB of storage is available in the phone.
Also, the company says that they are also improving after cell services. If you live in Tier-2 or Tier-3 city, then definitely find out the information of the service center of the brand. In this, you get the best display, good camera, fine performance and average battery life.
Bottom line- 8.5/10
