We mentioned the Alcatel One Touch Idol X announcement earlier and in addition to that, we also have some hands-on images to share. The One Touch Idol X is the handset with the edge-to-edge 5-inch 1080p display and Jelly Bean. There is also a variety of colors, quad-core processor and 13 megapixel rear-facing camera.
The processor will clock in at 1.2GHz and users can also expect to find 16GB of internal storage with a microSD card slot for anything additional, 1GB of RAM, a 2.1 megapixel front-facing camera and LTE connectivity. One note on the rear-facing camera though, that will vary by market which means some may only see an 8 megapixel.
The handset is comfortable to hold and the touchscreen seems to be fairly responsive. Bottom line here, the One Touch Idol X seems to be a nice step up for Alcatel. On that note, we have yet to see anything regarding a price. And well, we all know how that can be a make or break point when it comes to a new device.
Aside from not revealing a price, Alcatel hasn’t said much in terms of release plans. So far we have heard that it will be available this year, but nothing in terms of markets and/or carriers. This is one we will likely keep an eye out for though. In the meantime, make sure to check out the images in the post above and the gallery below.
Not a bad looking device and very daring with the edge to edge display, I really hope Alcatel do well this year under new ownership. They’re certainly stepping up their game this year!
