Alcatel's Latest Phones Cover the High-End and Budget Bases
At IFA 2013 in Berlin this week, Alcatel showed off a few brand-new phones aimed at both budget-minded customers and those who want a top-of-the-line device.
Alcatel is adding new phones to its One Touch line: the Idol S, Idol Mini, and the One Touch Hero. The new devices range across every price level, from high-end to budget. We don't yet have official pricing details for each phone, but Alcatel has said the One Touch Hero will cost the most, the Idol S will be slightly cheaper, and the Idol Mini will have a budget price tag.
One Touch Hero
The most high-end and largest of the bunch is the One Touch Hero, at 6.2 inches tall by 3.1 inches wide. Alcatel hardly wasted any space, letting the 6-inch, 1,920x1,080-pixel-resolution screen take up almost the entire front of the phone. The Hero has a curved body with rounded edges and a shiny back cover.
One Touch Idol S
Moving into the lower-end smartphones, we have the One Touch Idol S. The phone has run-of-the-mill specs for a midrange device, with a 4.7-inch screen, a dual-core 1.2GHz processor, and 4GB of internal storage. There's not much that stands out about the Idol S, except maybe its colorful metal matte back cover.
One Touch Idol Mini
True to its name, the Idol Mini is the smallest of Alcatel's newest One Touch phones, at just 5 inches tall and 2.4 inches wide -- that's just slightly larger than the iPhone 5 -- and has a low-resolution 4.3-inch screen. In terms of specs, the Idol Mini is a true budget phone; it has 512MB of RAM, a smaller 1,700mAh battery, and a 5-megapixel camera.
One Touch Idol X
The last phone that Alcatel is showing off at IFA has actually been around since February. The One Touch Idol X was announced at this year's Mobile World Congress.
The Idol X has a 5-inch screen with a thin front bezel, and a smooth rubbery back cover that comes in five bright colors. The phone will be available globally shortly after IFA 2013
