Alcatel was known for a large part of its history as a low end handset maker and now it’s starting to operate in the higher end area, years after being bought by an Asian firm. Today, at MWC 2013 in Barcelona they’ve unveiled a very hot model, with high end specs, called the One Touch Idol X.
Alcatel One Touch Idol X is the first full HD phablet that equips a quad core processor. Currently the craze of full HD smartphones is very high in market. Therefore, all manufacturers have started showcasing their high-end products in one of the largest tech festivals; it’s none other than Mobile World Congress held in Barcelona Spain. Anyway, Alcatel is not known for producing high-end devices. This time they have opted for MediaTek MT6589 which is not too powerful but a decent one to be exact. There is a 13 MP rear camera that records full HD video. I haven’t mentioned that Alcatel One Touch Idol X is built on Android 4.2 JellyBean.
This is also a pretty thin device, at merely 7.1 mm in thickness, just like the Motorola Droid RAZR. There’s no LTE on board and a US debut seems very unlikely right now. The phone will be launching around July, although the exact date or price aren’t known.
Features of Alcatel One Touch Idol X :
- OS: Android 4.2 JellyBean
- SoC: 1.2 GHz Quad Cortex A7, MediaTek MT6589
- Display: 5 inch Full HD
- Storage: 16 GB, micro SD
- Battery: 2000 mAh
- Camera: 13 MP rear
- Data: HSPA+ speed up to 42 Mbps
- Navigation: A-GPS, GLONASS
- Dimension: 7.1 mm thickness
Pricing and release date of Alcatel One Touch Idol X is now indicated in the press event. You can expect the phablet by the second quarter this year. But it looks like Alcatel will join the bloody quad core budget war soon in India.
