Alcatel are busy showing off some great looking phones at
IFA the most exciting being the Alcatel
One Touch Hero with E-ink flip
case!
The 6-inch Alcatel
One Touch Hero is aimed at users who want the
features of a Galaxy Note but with
1080 resolution and a lower price tag. As such the
Hero has comes complete with a stylus and
apps which are designed to work specifically with the capacitive pen.
Keeping costs down but ensuring enough power to run that large, high-resolution panel is a 1.5Ghz
quad-core MT6589T
processor from Mediatek and 2GB RAM. The
processor is the same you would find in similar Chinese phones and as such it will support dual SIM cards, but only for the top of the range 16GB model (a cheaper 8GB version has a single SIM).
Other nice
features of this stylish
1080 phablet include a rather larger 3400mAh battery, 13 mega-pixel rear camera, 2 megapixel front and SD card slot.
Alcatel have also created a rather exciting flip case for the One Touch Hero which incorporates an E-ink display. This allows you to check certain apps and read books, messages on the low-power E-ink display extending the overall run time of the phone.
