After being announced back in February, Alcatel’s 3V is now launching in the US for $150. Though it’s very much a budget phone, the 3V looks and feels surprisingly nice for its low price and limited specs.

The phone looks and feels fairly modern, with a 6-inch, 18:9 LCD display with rounded corners and a 2K resolution. The body is plastic, but it has a simple design that looks like it’s a solid piece. I got to see the phone back at Mobile World Congress, and I was surprised by how nice its display was. That makes enough sense, though; Alcatel phones are made by TCL, which is first and foremost a TV company.
