TCL-owned Alcatel introduced the fourth-generation of its Android-powered Idol lineup today at Mobile World Congress 2016 in Barcelona, Spain. Consisting of the 5.2-inch Idol 4 and 5.5-inch Idol 4S, this generation will be the first to sport the company’s new simplified branding, dropping the word OneTouch and being marketed simply as Alcatel.
As we reported earlier this month, the Android Marshmallow-powered duo are both powered by octa core systems-on-a-chip from Qualcomm: the Snapdragon 617 for the Idol 4 and Snapdragon 652 for the 4S. The former handset utilizes a full HD IPS liquid crystal display, while the latter’s AMOLED screen features Alcatel’s first use of 1440 x 2560 QHD resolution.
