hey guys this is Austin I recently checked out a 150 dollar smartphone but what happens when you bring that budget down to $80 show that to MetroPCS for sponsoring this video this is the Alcatel a 30 Perce typically for $1 you really shouldn't expect much out of a smartphone but at least on paper this looks decent take a look inside the box and the first thing we see is two free months of Amazon music unlimited so they're actually a couple of different Amazon tie-ins with this phone specifically actually does have a lexis support if you guys want the code it's all yours so we were definitely well into the budget into the spectrum here but it actually doesn't feel too bad in the hand so yes it is a little bit on the larger side with a five and a half inch screen and yes it is made out of plastic but it feels reasonably sturdy it does have this kind of interesting textured finish pop off the back and the first thing you'll see is a giant please do not remove this battery under any circumstances warning but above that now I do have a micro SD card slot but also where we put our semmen hardware wise this has pretty much everything you would expect so now you have a headphone jack but you also do have a micro USB port would have been nice to see USB see but it doesn't really matter at this price point and you also do have the volume rocker as well as the slightly textured power button this guy is rocking a 5.5 inch 720p IPS display so just like with the Moto e 4 plus it's nice to have a big display and the resolution even looks a little bit low really isn't too bad for a budget device so it does get reasonably bright however a couple areas where you can notice the budget price come through is with color reproduction in the actual feel of the display it just doesn't feel quite as premium as something higher-end with Gorilla Glass 4 video I feel like the bigger display actually is a really nice feature and while the audio isn't amazing it's a lot better than a lot of other budget phones just because it does have a single front firing speaker it's not stereo but it definitely does sound a lot better than something coming out the bottom or the back of the phone it also does have that support for Amazon Alexa so if you double tap the power button who is Austin evidence it also doesn't have the fingerprint sensor which is especially nice to see on such a budget device so it works just as you expect put your finger on it it will immediately unlock the phone and get you straight into it spec wise it's pretty standard so we have a quad-core MediaTek 67 38 processor 2 gigabytes of RAM as well as 32 gigs of storage that is expandable with that micro SD card slot so what might not be a huge value add having 32 gigs of storage on an $80.00 phone is actually kind of nice it's not like you know you can pay $600 for a 16 gig phone somewhere else or anything inside it has a 3000 milliamp hour battery that's about the same size as a lot of flagships but because of the power sipping internals this should easily be able to last a day and of course since it's running on metro pcs you can get up to 2 lines for $75 a month of unlimited data without gimmicks like speed caps so far the 830 seems like a completely decent budget Android phone but I want to put it through a few challenges asking for a friend can it gain you definitely have to keep in mind that this is a budget smartphone but let's throw a few games I didn't see what happened first off we have Super Mario run this is not exactly an incredibly graphically demanding game and to be fair it's not these smoothest framerate I've ever seen so that we are dropping a couple frames here and there but it's totally playable next we've got mortal kombat x huh this actually works pretty well yeah it's not gonna go blow away like a console or something but this looks totally fine last but not least we have Real Racing 3 so performance isn't amazing but again this is an $80 phone that's essentially able to run most of the graphically demanding games that are available on Android are you able to vlog this would be like if I was a vlogger and it's 110 degrees outside I would just complain a lot for about five minutes or so and then maybe move on to something else can you livestream so my first question is this is an $8 smartphone can you guys tell the difference on Instagram live not bad not bad looks good looks good for 80 bucks yeah I totally think so can you take a fast photo as if you see a celebrity you never know when you find a wild kimball ito in the wild ready and boom got it not a very good picture but I got it fast it's not perfect if you have a little bit more budget to work with I really do like the Moto e for plus but for $80 the Alcatel a 30 is definitely worth a look so what do you guys think about the phone let me know in the comments below and I will catch you in the next one
