hello world I'm Seamus burn for CNET at Mobile World Congress 2014 in Barcelona and we're looking at the Alcatel OneTouch range and their Idol 2 series there are four variations in the idol 2 series the idol to the idol 2's the idol 2 mini and the idol 2 mini s the S series introduces LTE to the idol range the full-size Idol 2 is a 5 inch qHD IPS smartphone with a quad-core 1.3 gigahertz processor 1 gig of ram and 8 gigs or 16 gigs of internal storage depending on whether you get a single or dual SIM model microSD is only in the single sim device you get an 8 megapixel rear camera and a 2 megapixel front camera here as well as Bluetooth 4.0 and NFC the idol 2 s is the model I'm holding here this has a better 720p IPS display but a slightly slower 1.2 gigahertz processor and 720p front camera and it launches with Android 4.3 instead of 4.2 the idol 2 mini is a 4.5 inch qHD IPS display with the 1.2 gigahertz quad core with other specs in line with the idol - the idol 2 mini s is much the same spec with the LTE added and a slightly bigger battery to cope with the LTE performance needs the mini s has a nicer design though with a metal back giving it a much more premium feel than the other models so the idol two range is available very soon worldwide the idol 2 will be priced at $1.99 for the standard model euros and 249 euros for the S model that translates to around 275 US dollars and 350 US dollars respectively the idol two mini will be priced at around 169 euros and 209 euro for the S model that translates to about 235 us and 290 us I think the new Alcatel OneTouch Idol 2 range does feel really nice in the hand so given their price points they should before quite well this year there's been Seamus Byrne looking at the Alcatel OneTouch Idol to range from Mobile World Congress in Barcelona foreseen it
