the time when buying a flagship involves putting up with large dimensions in a huge price tag alcatel one touch is here with a very different approach I'm I'm gonna leave it up with pocket now here at MWC 2015 in Barcelona with the alcatel one touch idol 3 or should I say with both of them we've known alcatel one touch for mid-range to entry-level smartphones over the last few years but the company is out to make a huge then to the US smartphone market and they want to do so with affordable flagship smartphones the new idol 3 lineup is actually made of two devices that give users the option to acquire the same design and specifications on two different sizes and price points the smaller of the two will be priced at around twenty dollars unlock then sports a 4.7 inch 720p IPS display a 1.2 gigahertz quad-core Snapdragon 410 processor 1 gig of ram 16 gigs of on-board storage expandable up to 128 gigs via microsd and the option for dual SIM capabilities with a 2,000 milliamp hour battery as well the larger of the two will be priced close to three hundred dollars unlocked sports a 5.5 inch 1080p IPS display a 1.5 gigahertz Arctic or Snapdragon 615 processor 2 gigs of ram 16 gigs of storage expandable to 128 gigs via microsd an option for 32 gigs of storage and dual sim capabilities and the 29 10 million power battery even though the display on both devices IPS Technicolor help fine tune the color accuracy of the displays and blacks are noticeably deeper than other IPS competitors that we've seen both devices support a 13 megapixel sony IMX 214 sensor with two point no aperture for good low-light performance 0.26 second face image capture and then in the front facing cameras both devices support a wide angle 84 degree lens but the smaller 4.7 inch model has a smaller 5 megapixel sensor compared to the 8 megapixel front-facing camera on the larger unit now what are the cool additions to these devices is that even at their price point both sport dual 1.2 front firing speakers optimized by JBL with clarified technology and Alcatel OneTouch bundles some really need applications to enhance your audio experience you can even add turntable scratches to digital music and then export both devices run Android 5.0 lollipop out of the box with a very minor skin over it which is great for the experience but probably one of the coolest things that we've seen on an Android smartphone so far is the fact that since it has dual speakers and dual microphones you can actually hold the phone from any side meaning you can flip the phone completely and take the phone call from the bottom or take it from the top on either the 4.7 inch and 5.5 inch models something really really cool overall alcatel one touch shown is a bold new approach to flagships with the idol 3 lineup and trust me we can't wait to have these devices for our review for now I'm high a memory that I with pocket now here at MWC 2015 and Barcelona make sure you follow us on social media to rupture youtube channel as well and follow me on Twitter Jaime underscore iveta please give this video a thumbs up if you liked what you saw and the stay tuned we've got a lot more coming from Barcelona
