IFA 2013: Alcatel Intros One Touch Idol ALPHA with 4.7-Inch Edge-to-Edge Display

By Anonymous -
One of the first companies to launch their new products at IFA 2013 trade fair, Alcatel has announced the upcoming availability of yet another Android smartphone, the One Touch Idol ALPHA.

At first glance, the One Touch Idol ALPHA doesn’t stand out and may give you the impression of an average mid-range handset. 

However, Alcatel claims that the phone features translucent edges that illuminate in various modes such as charging, video, notifications, and more.

Aside from this nifty feature, Alcatel One Touch Idol ALPHA is said to have a unique and sleek design with nice curves, a metal case and aluminum metal frame. 

 The One Touch Idol ALPHA is only 7.5mm thin and has a “distinctive finish” that doesn’t seem obvious from the press pictures.
When it comes to hardware, the upcoming smartphone from Alcatel makes for a solid Android device. It packs a 1.2 GHz quad-core processor and 1GB of RAM. It also packs 16GB of internal memory, which can be further expanded up to 32GB via microSD memory card.

Alcatel has also announced that its mid-range Android smartphone will sport a 4.7-inch edge-to-edge HD (720p) capacitive touchscreen display that “delivers the extraordinary floating lens idea and it is one of the kind.” Dragontrail Glass and oleophobic coating is included as well for extra protection against scratches. 

The phone only supports microSIMs and features EAP SIM capabilities with GSM quad-band and UMTS dual-band. It offers blazing fast speeds of up to 42Mbps (download) and 11Mbps (upload). 

Last but not least, Alcatel One Touch Idol ALPHA boasts an impressive 8-megapixel photo snapper on the back, which features autofocus, LED flash and full HD (1080p) video recording, while in the front, there’s a secondary 1.3-megapixel camera for video calls.

Android 4.3 shows up on Nexus 4 in Thailand

     A  Nexus 4  running build number JWR45B was spotted at the Thailand Mobile Expo recently labeled as Android version 4.3, suggesting the update to the OS could be right around the corner. While the validity of the sighting remains unconfirmed, we do get three shots of what could be the next version of Android: the Jelly Bean easter egg (confirming the update won’t be Key Lime Pie), the About Phone screen, and a slightly tweaked camera UI. It appears that Android 4.3 won’t come with a major design overhaul in tow and rather will be the sort of incremental update that was the move from 4.1 to 4.2. Major platform changes aren’t expected until Android 5.0, which could still be on track for a release this year, though closer to the holiday season. [via  XDA ]

IFA 2013: Acer's Mobile Product Collection Revealed

We've made it to Berlin a couple of days before the real action starts, because we have appointments at some nice, early launch events from  Samsung  and  NVIDIA , among others. Unfortunately, this means that most booths haven't even been built to completion yet.   So if you were hoping for some quick hands-on photos early on, you're not in luck. From what we've seen so far, they're all still in their crates.  That doesn't mean I don't know what they are though. I was able to find out some of the things we'll get a chance to hold in our hands over the next few days, like Acer's lineup.  So far, I can confirm the arrival of the 7.9-inch Iconia A1 tablet, the 7-inch Iconia B1 tablet, the Aspire R7 laptop (featuring that unusual but cool Ezel hinge), the Liquid S1 smartphone, and the Aspire P3 convertible ultrabook, and the Aspire S7-392 full-feature ultrabook.  Presumably, the Liquid S2 phone is in a box somewhere as well.
