Alcatel OneTouch has announced a bunch of new devices at the IFA
2015 tech show. The devices launched are the Alcatel OneTouch Pop Star,
OneTouch Pop Up, and OneTouch Go Play smartphones, apart from the OneTouch Go
Watch smartwatch, and 17.3-inch OneTouch Xess tablet.
The Alcatel OneTouch Pop Star is a dual-SIM smartphone with a
number of changeable covers. The covers range from plastic backs to Leather
collection, Fashion Collection or Nature-ECO collection and also includes a
Denim back cover. On paper, the smartphone is not a premium device. Also, it is
available in 3G and 4G LTE versions, both running Android 5.0 Lollipop. Both
variants sports a 5-inch HD (720x1280 pixels resolution) IPS display, 1GB of
RAM, 8-megapxiel rear camera, 5-megapixel front-facing camera, and a 2000mAh
battery. The difference however, lies in the 3G and 4G connectivity options,
inbuilt storage and the processor.
The OneTouch Pop Star 3G variant includes 8GB of inbuilt storage,
and is powered by a quad-core 1.3GHz MediaTek MT6580 chipset. The OneTouch Pop
Star 4G LTE features 16GB of inbuilt storage and a 64-bit quad-core 1GHz
MediaTek MT6735P processor.
The 4G-enabled Alcatel OneTouch Pop Up, comes with better innards
but slightly lower number of changeable back covers. The dual-SIM supporting
handset sports the same display as the OneTouch Star but is powered by a
powerful octa-core 1.4GHz Qualcomm Snapdragon 610 SoC, coupled with 2GB of RAM.
The handset has 16GB of inbuilt storage, which can further be expanded via a
microSD card (up to 32GB) and sport 13-megapixel rear camera with f/2.0
aperture.
The OneTouch Pop
Up sports a metal frame with glass hardware key and will be arriving in Black,
Riva Blue, Amber Orange, White, and Strawberry Red colour variants. The company
has not declared the price or the availability details of the two smartphones.
Also announced was the Alcatel OneTouch Go Play (seen atop)
smartphone alongwide the Go Watch smartwatch. The Go Play smartphone's
highlight is that it is shockproof and IP67 certified, which makes it dust and
water resistant. The Android 5.0 Lollipop-based smartphone equipped with a
5-inch 720p resolution TFT display and is powered by a quad-core 1.2GHz
Qualcomm Snapdragon 410 CPU, coupled with 1GB of RAM. It includes 8GB of
inbuilt storage, of which on 4GB is allowed for users. The device also sports
8-megapixel autofocus rear camera and a 5-megapixel front-facing fixed-focus
camera. Other features mentioned are FM radio, 1-finger zoom, mini apps,
multi-tap wake up, and idle screen.
The Alcatel
OneTouch Go Play smartphone is power up by a 2500mAh battery, which as per the
company offers 20 days of standby time, 8.3 hours of talk time and 55 hours
music. The smartphone can also be covered with waterproof headsets and
protective case. It would arrive in dark grey, dark red, dark green, orange
blue, pink, lime green, blue and orange colour variants.
The Alcatel OneTouch Go Watch (seen above) comes with same IP67 certification
as Go Play smartphone and instead of Android Wear, runs on company's
proprietary operating system. However, the device is compatible with both
Android 4.3 Jelly Bean OS, iOS 7, and later OS versions of both.
The smartwatch sports a 1.22-inch LCD IPS circular display with
240x240pixels resolution. Powered by a 180MHz cortex-M4 based CPU, and is
backed by a 225mAh battery, which can be charged via Micro-USB connectivity and
would run for 2-5 days on a single charge, as per the company claims.
The Alcatel OneTouch Go Watch is almost 100 percent customisable
as users can change both its front-casing and the wristband with other options.
The watch carries all the similar functions such as showing notifications about
messages, emails, calls, and the weather. However, its Go button triggers an
"emotion pulse measurement" that is said to create an "emotional
graphic" from the results gathered by the gyroscope, heart rate sensor,
and accelerometer. Users can share the result on social networks, or set it as
the wallpaper.
But the company gave no information on the OneTouch Go Play and
OneTouch Go Watch pricing and availability.
Besides launching three handsets and a smartwatch, Alcatel
launched its Xess tablet (seen above). The stainless steel tablet's claim to
fame is its huge 17.3-inch 10-point full-HD touchscreen display. The Android
5.1 Lollipop-based tablet is powered by an octa-core 1.5GHz MediaTek MT8783T
SoC, coupled with 2GB LPDDR3 RAM. The tablet includes 32GB of inbuilt storage,
which can be further expanded via a microSD card. Measuring 416.5x266.5x9.15mm,
the device is backed by a 10000mAh battery.
The Alcatel OneTouch Xess includes an adjustable built-in stand
and a handle which can make the tablet stand at 30 degrees, 50 degrees, and 75
degrees. Wall mount and smart dock accessories for the device offers more
viewing angles. Due to its bid display size, the Xess features a built-in
stylus as well as hands-free gesture control. 3-watt JBL dual speakers are also
included by the tablet alongside USB ports and apps such as OneTouch Mix and
SketchBook. Some of the other Xess accessories are blue-free film, IP camera,
Bluetooth mouse and keypad, Bluetooth speaker, mag cover and mounting case.
No pricing or
availability details of the tablet are out yet.
