Alcatel has made some impressive handsets over the past couple of years, and the most notable thing about all of them is the price. Most of the company’s devices are very affordable without sacrificing too much. Now the company has debuted four new devices and they’re all under $170.

Alcatel POP 4S

The POP 4S is the most expensive of the bunch, but also the best. With a 5.5-inch 1080p display, octa-core processor, 2,960 mAh battery, metal build, and a fingerprint scanner, the POP 4S is a pretty good value at $169. It’s available for purchase now at Amazon and Best Buy.

Taking things down a notch, Alcatel has also started offering the POP 4 PLUS. This $119 device offers a 5.5-inch 720p display, Snapdragon 210 chipset, metal build, 2,500 mAh battery, and dual-SIM slots.
