TCL announced the revamped structure of its alcatel smartphone lineup at CES - in broad strokes, at least. Strictly speaking, no device went official then and there, and it wasn't until January 17 when the alcatel 3Ckicked things off.
What we have now are a few listings from Amazon France, where the alcatel 5 and alcatel 3V have been listed for pre-order. Amazon isn't known for providing the most thorough or accurate specsheets, but there are a few details revealed, alongside the prices of the two smartphones.
The alcatel 5's price is set at a cent short of €230 and it will come with a 5.7" 18:9 display - the company has committed to offering the tall aspect across most of its portfolio, regardless of price. Resolution is quoted as HD+ and in our book that means 1,440x720px, but we could be wrong.
An octa-core processor as part of an unnamed chip will power the smartphone, while RAM will be 3GB, with 32GB of storage. There will be a microSD slot too. The alcatel 5's battery is a 3,000mAh unit, OS version is still Nougat, and color options include black and gold.
Moving on to the alcatel 3V, this one will come with a 6-inch FullHD+ 18:9 display. The CPU is quad-core here, and RAM is just 2GB, while storage is 16GB (microSD slot for expansion - check).
The 3V will get a dual camera on its back, a 12MP primary unit (or 13MP, depending on which part of the listing you believe more, or even 16MP if an earlier leak sounds more plausible) and a 2MP supplementary one, presumably for depth effects. The battery capacity is 3,000mAh as well, but this phone will launch on Oreo - or so Amazon's page says.
The alcatel 3V's pre-order price is set at €189.99, and it will come in one of three colors - blue, black, and gold.
Both phones will be made available on February 26 - that coincides with the opening day of the Mobile World Congress in Barcelona when the phones will probably go officially official.
