IFA may be over but expect to see more products announced during the weekend. One of the brands that showcased a slew of new mobile devices is Alcatel. The French phone maker recently introduced the new POP and GO phones plus the GO Watch and soon followed with the new OneTouch Idol 3C, Pixi First, and Pixi 3 (10) tablet.
Aside from POP and GO, Alcatel also has the Pixi series. All three lines have captured the market of youngsters who are looking for cool, colorful, and affordable phones. The OneTouch Idol 3C is pretty much like the OneTouch Idol 3 (5.5) but this one now comes in a new body with various bright-colored interchangeable covers. Maintaining the coolness factor is its being “reversible” which means you can answer the call even with the phone mic-side up. Specs of the OneTouch Idol 3C include a dual quad-core CPU Snapdragon 615 (1.5GHz and 1.0GHz), 16GB internal storage, 2GB RAM, 13 megapixel main camera, 8 megapixel front-facing camera, 3G, 4G/LTE option, and a 2,910mAh battery.
The OneTouch Pixi First boasts of a 4-inch display, 800 x 480 pixel resolution, 1.2GHz quad-core Spreadtrum SC7731 chipset, 512MB RAM, 4GB built-in storage, microSD card slot for expansion, 5MP rear cam, 2MP front-facing camera, dual SIM support, 3G, WiFi, Bluetooth, and a 1,450mAh battery. Obviously, the device is entry-level but it’s good enough for those looking for their very first smartphone.
The latest slate from Alcatel, the OneTouch Pixi 3 (10), is so far the biggest from the Pixi line. It comes with a huge 10-inch screen, 1280 x 800 pixel resolution (149ppi), 1.3GHz dual-core Mediatek MT8127 chipset , 1GB RAM, microSD card slot, 16GB built-in storage, 5MP main camera, 2MP rear camera, WiFi, GPS, Bluetooth 4.1, and a 4,060mAh. Sadly, there’s no 3G or 4G/LTE.
No information on availability and pricing has been given yet but we’ll let you know soon.
