The Alcatel 1 5033D is OK for watching videos on YouTube or communicating (E-Mail, WhatsApps). But you can not really use it for games and especially not for virtual reality.

Alcatel 1 5033D – low budget cellphone from Alcatel. Well suited for not demanding games. Is it enough for VR?

Alcatel 1 5033D – Low performance, low price

With a display resolution of only 480 x 960 pixels, the Alcatel 1 definitely belongs to the lower segment of smartphones, but of course at a justified price. With a pixel density of 215 ppi, the image will unfortunately appear much too pixelated for VR.

The Mediatek MT6739 chipset provides enough power for surfing, watching YouTube videos and communication (email, WhatsApp, etc.)

The camera only has 5 MP, the selfie camera has 2 MP. Videos in 30 frames are possible.

In terms of weak specifications, the Alcatel 1 5033D is very poor for VR. It is quite suitable for communication (email, WhatsApp, etc.) and surfing the Internet.

It’s okay for games with low requirements, but you need a better smartphone for VR games.
