OneTouch Fierce XLby Alcatel
PROS
- The processor and RAM may be outdated, but the internal specs are more than sufficient to run Windows 10 on a smartphone.
- Expandable storage is a feature we rarely see anymore, but the Fierce XL offers it.
- Running Windows 10, the Fierce XL provides access to Microsoft's latest wares including personal assistant Cortana.
CONS
- With nowhere near as many pixels as more expensive smartphones, the screen won't wow you, but the display gets the job done.
- The Fierce XL (Windows 10 Mobile) is a T-Mobile exclusive, which is undoubtedly a disappointment for some.
- The 5.5-inch display may be too big for some users.

This cheap phone is worth a look if you want Microsoft's engaging Windows Phone interface and you're looking for a device on the cheap with a big screen. However, there are better Android options in this price range.

The 5.5 IPS display with a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels is not racing to be in first place on the spec-sheet, but given this device will be sold at a very budget friendly price point, it is difficult to complain about that.

While a budget Windows 10 Mobile device is hardly going to blow us away, the Fierce XL seems like a decent budget option for those wanting a simple and colourful design but don’t require top specs.

It's got smooth, fairly slim lines and rounded corners, which makes it easy to grasp and move around. You can pop off the back cover to get at the SIM and microSD card slots, but you won't be able to remove the battery.
Windows 10 flies on the XL. It may have a lowly Snapdragon 210 chip on board, but that's all the power the XL needs to operate smoothly.
