Everything Specs
Alcatel Shine Lite doesn’t rule the market with their smartphones, but there are few exceptions here and there. Unfortunately, Alcatel Shine Lite isn’t one of them. It comes with Android 6.0 (Marshmallow) OS, which isn’t upgradable to a newer version. This isn’t necessarily bad, as Android 6.0 is still widely used OS. Internal storage is 16 GB which really isn’t much, compared to the other smartphones in this class, but we have a microSD slot here. Its IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen is good, but not out-of-this-world good, with its 720p resolution and 294 ppi pixel density.
Under the hood, Alcatel Shine Lite has a MediaTek MT6737 chipset, with Quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A53 CPU with Mali-T720MP2 GPU. These components blended together aren’t really capable of doing much in terms of multitasking and smooth performance. Neither gaming will be that good, because of lackluster GPU. The 2 GB of RAM here is a bare minimum when it comes to smooth performance.

Alcatel Shine Lite doesn't really shine that much, but it isn't bad either. I share this smartphone with my sister and it works great and looks great. The camera isn't bad but it could be a little better. Overall, a solid smartphone.
