Alcatel isn’t the kind of manufacturer
which you would associate with high-end Android devices but contrary to
it’s image, the company has announced a new premium Android smartphone-
the One Touch Idol X at Mobile World Congress. The new smartphone from
Alcatel is placed right up with the top-Android smartphones expected
this year, as far as specifications are concerned.
The Alcatel One Touch Idol X
boasts of a stunning 5-inch Full HD display and the smartphone is
powered by a 1.2GHz quad core processor but the make of the CPU is still
unknown. Also, the amount of RAM on the device is still unknown. The
One Touch Idol X runs on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean and gets 16GB of
on-board storage along with a micro-SD card slot for storage expansion.
Just like other top-end smartphones, Alcatel One Touch Idol X
houses a 13 megapixel camera at the back and the smartphone will be
offered in a variety of colors like blue, yellow and red. The smartphone
also gets a 2,000mAh battery andcomes with all the standard
connectivity option but surprisingly, misses out on 4G LTE connectivity.
Though there is no word on the pricing
and availability of the device, but The Verge reports that the shipments
for the Alcatel One Touch Idol X might start in July this year.
