There was Scribe, there is Hero. The evolution of Alcatel

Published:

If you had asked me two years ago, where Alcatel would be today, surely I could not have predicted. At the TCL booth in Berlin Alcatel One Touch showed a 6-inch phonepad , 4 new Idols and 4 Pops .

Pop C1, Pop C3, Pop C5 and Pop C7 are offers for those who have a limited budget, or a little smaller requirements from a smartphone. I hope that the full specifications (because of technical reasons) I will give you on Monday.

The star on the stand of the manufacturer was Alcatel One Touch Hero whose display size and speed gave us hope for a successful movement of Alcatel One Touch towards phonepads . In addition, TCL has prepared a large number of accessories such as magnetic cover that allows wireless charging, a small Bluetooth phone accessory, pico-projector, and additional e-ink display.

In the Hero specification we will find a 6-inch IPS display with a Full HD resolution (1080x1920 pixels), coated to prevent soiling, a camera with 13 megapixel matrix and additional - 2 megapixels. A 1.5 GHz quad-core processor supported by 2 GB of RAM. Depending on the version - because the device will be available in dual- and single-SIM – we'll get 8 or 16 GB of internal memory, which means, in practice, respectively, 5.6, or 12.9 GB. It runs on Android 4.2 and is powered by 3400 mAh battery. A cool monster, isn't it?

You already know models Idol S, Idol X, Idol Mini from the specifications in our catalogue. Each of these smartphones also lives up to its specifications. A complete novelty in a version of an early prototype is the model Idol Alpha. It is so secret that the manufacturer kept it under a thick glass cover during the show.

The basic specification, however, is known: IPS display, 4.7 -inch, Dragontrail Glass, Android 4.2, 13-megapixel rear and 1.3 front camera, 1 GB of RAM and 16 GB of built-in memory (for a user about 13 GB). The battery has a capacity of 2000 mAh. There is an impressive metal body and a frame. Unfortunately we were unable to touch the model, and the pictures are of poor quality due to the thick glass.
