what's up guys launching from android authority and we're taking a look at the brand new idol 4s and idol 4 from Alcatel OneTouch this is the successor to the very popular idol 3 from last year and they've really made some drastic improvements if you thought the idol 3 was a great phone you're going to love the idol 4 and 4s the design is now made of glass and metal all around for a much more premium look and feel and they're both very thin at roughly 7 millimeters up piece the idol 4s is the higher-end model out of the two so obviously you're going to be getting much better specs all around the display has been improved to a very gorgeous looking 5.5 inch AMOLED display with quad HD resolution the camera on the rear is a 16 megapixel sensor with 8 megapixels on the front and the processor inside is a Snapdragon 650 2 with 3 gigs of RAM the idol 4s also comes with 32 gigabytes of internal storage with 25 gigs available to the end-user but if that's not enough for you you've got a micro SD card slot for up to 512 gigs of additional storage there's a large 3000 milliamp hour battery inside that should be good enough for a full day's worth of use and with quick charge it only takes about one point six hours for a full charge with the more inexpensive auto 4 you're still getting a really great package there's a 5.2 inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 1080p on the front a 13 megapixel camera on the rear and 8 megapixel camera on the front and inside is a snapdragon 617 processor with three gigs of RAM powering the phone you've also got 16 gigs of on-board storage with the same micro SD card slot as before s and a slightly smaller 26 10 milliamp hour battery that takes about one out of charge with quick charge one of the biggest highlight features of the idol 3 from last year was the dual front-facing speakers and with the idol 4 and 4s Alcatel has taken that to the next level you still have the same beautiful speakers on the front but now you also have them on the rear as well so no matter how you have this phone positioned whether it's face up face down or even upside down you're always going to be getting high-quality audio through the very loud and clear JBL speakers the power key is located on the right side of the phone but this isn't your average run-of-the-mill power button this is what Alcatel calls the boom key and we weren't able to check out everything that this key can do but it can be used to do things such as firing up the camera from standby mode shuffling through photos in your gallery automatically optimizing your audio experience for enhanced loudness and clarity or create a really cool parallax effect on the homescreen to show you things like the current weather as far as the software goes you'll is going to Android marshmallow with Alcatel x' custom UI but like previous versions the Alcatel x' interface it does enough to differentiate itself but still maintains a somewhat stock look and feel which is great for general fluidity throughout the interface and just an overall pretty clean user experience with the boom key these stunning displays and high quality speakers the idol 4 and 4s is all about creating an Augmented multimedia experience so these phones are also going to come packaged with a set of JBL earbuds and a VR headset which is something we've never seen done before so not only are you getting a great phone but you're also getting some pretty cool accessories to go along with it this has been a quick look of the Alcatel OneTouch Idol 4 and 4s for more info including pricing and availability make sure to check the website at Angela Thor decom and subscribe down below for more of our MWC 2016 coverage you
