The POP Tablet line are entry level devices with POP 7 and POP 8 incher. Obviously as their name suggest they will have 7 inch TFT (1024x600) and 8 inch IPS LCD (1280x800) display. They also differ with the Mediatek Processor used as MT8312 (Dual-Core) for POP7 and MT8382 (Quad-Core) for the POP 8. However they do share some qualities... let me discuss further.
Both POP siblings share connectivity and imaging features. WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS and optional 3G and IR Blaster (Uhh TV!!!) is a great way to go for an all-in and stay connected device. On the optical side, they do have 2MP primary rear camera and a VGA front for regular photos for social media.The POP 7 does has a 3240 mAh and POP 8 has a 4100 mAh battery pack.
We have notable entry level tablets here focusing well on innards as well as connectivity with 3G and IR Blaster. Alcatel is showing what it can offer.
The POP C9 offers 5.5 inch qHD (540 x 960 pixels) IPS LCD Display powered by 1.3GHz Quad-Core Mediatek Processor coupled with 1GB RAM and 4GB Internal Storage.
For its optics, it does have an 8MP rear with Flash and 2MP front shooter. Battery pack is at 2500 mAh. It is also safe to say it will have the regular WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS, and 3G/HSPA+. By the way, it Dual-Sim
One thing to note is that a local phone company (see here) offers similar specs at very competitive pricing and may have already captured the target market of the POP C9. Alcatel should release it sooner than later to play catch up.
On the flip side, Alcatel is really good pairing their devices with flip covers and accessories upon purchase a big bonus for consumers.
