Alcatel doesn't really do "flagship" phones, because its entire market presence for some time now has been in the low-end of the budget market. Indeed, with parent company TCL now launching its own affordable flagship in the form of the TCL Plex, there's even less space for Alcatel to have a "flagship" of its own.
However, at $299 outright, that's pretty much what the Alcatel 3X 2019 represents. It's Alcatel's current "best" phone, but it's also a good example of what you can get for under $300 right now.
Any budget phone involves compromises, and in 2019 it's very much a question of picking what your compromises of choice are going to be. The Alcatel 3X 2019 is a very well built phone for the money, and its battery life is equally very good. Its camera performance is only ordinary at best, even with multiple lenses, and its overall app performance isn't on par with similar phones.
