Battery Life
With a removable Li-Ion 1500 mAh battery, the Alcatel OT-993 offers a stand-by time of up to 420 hours and a talk time of up to 4 hours on 2G networks or up to 3 hours on 3G networks. These figures resonate with the device's position as a budget-friendly option, where intensive, sustained usage isn't the primary focus. The removable battery feature allows for convenient replacement, a trait that has become less common in modern smartphone design.
