We’ve received an invitation from Alcatel for a May 29 launch of the One Touch Idol X+ in India, which also reveals the fact the smartphone will be available exclusively via online retailer Flipkart in the country.
First introduced at CES 2014, the Alcatel One Touch Idol X+ was made available in China in January.
At launch, the Alcatel One Touch Idol X+ ran Android 4.3 Jelly Bean out-of-the-box. The smartphone supports dual-SIM (Micro-SIM) with dual standby. It features a 5-inch display with a resolution of 1080×1920 pixels, which translates to a pixel density of 441 pixels per inch (ppi). It features a Corning Gorilla Glass 2 screen.
The Alcatel One Touch Idol X+ smartphone is powered by 2GHz octa-core MediaTek MT6592 chipset with ARM Mali450 GPU and 2GB of RAM. The Alcatel One Touch Idol X+ sports 16GB of built-in storage, a 13.1-megapixel autofocus rear camera with LED flash, and also houses a 2-megapixel front-facing camera. It packs a 2500mAh battery that is rated to deliver up to 27 hours of 2G talk time, 650 hours of 2G standby time, and continuous music playback of up to 36 hours.
With the launch of the One Touch Idol X+ on Thursday, we wonder if Alcatel will be looking to re-enter the Indian market in a big way, and launch more of its smartphones and tablets in the country.
The company at MWC had introduced several new devices, such as the Alcatel One Touch Pop S3, One Touch Pop S7, One Touch Pop S9, One Touch Idol 2, One Touch Idol 2 Mini and One Touch Pop Fit smartphones.
Alcatel had also introduced three Firefox OS-based smartphones, the One Touch Fire C, One Touch Fire E, and One Touch Fire S, apart from the One Touch Fire 7 tablet.
Also introduced at MWC 2014 were the Alcatel One Touch Pop 7S and One Touch PIXI 7 tablets, which ran Android 4.4 KitKat out-of-the-box.
