MWC 2015: Alcatel Idol 3 (4.7) & (5.5)

Alcatel, at the MWC 2015, announced the Alcatel Idol 3 (4.7) & Idol 3 (5.5). Apparently, with just their screen sizes, we can tell that the Idol line is a smartphone and a phablet. Nicely designed by Alcatel, the Idol 3 runs on Android 5.0 Lollipop with a feature called by the company as "reversible" meaning that whatever orientation you pick up the phone the UI will always move to the orientation you have it in front of you.

Here's another phablet joining in the fun! Announced at MWC 2013, the Alcatel One Touch Idol X is a 5-incher device that runs on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean and sports a unnamed quad-core processor. Just like the device it tries to kill, the Galaxy Note II, the One Touch Idol X also has its own stylus. As for what the capabilities of that stylus are, that I still have to know. One thing is for sure, the devices boasts "dedicated creative apps" and I know you know what that means. In terms of the device's design, it's nice. I don't want to say this but it kind of looks like an HTC Butterfly.

So, finally, Mozilla has announced their very own mobile OS dubbed as the Firefox OS. This, together with Ubuntu will make the smartphone world more wonderful for consumers.

I have specs for the ZTE device but nothing from the Alcatel. You can check out The Verge's hands on video of these two device and check out the OS itself.
