TCL at the CES 2018 introduced three smartphones
Alcatel 1X, Alcatel 3V and Alcatel 5 under new Alcatel 1, 3 and 5 series, after
a recent leak. All these have 18:9 full view displays from TCL and feature a fingerprint
sensor on the back.
The Alcatel 1X is the most affordable of the lot
that comes with an unibody design and the company says that it is made of
premium materials. In addition to 18:9 full view display and fingerprint
sensor, it also has face unlocking. It has soft, almost sandpaper-like texture
on its curved back.
The Alcatel 3V has dual rear cameras with rounded
rectangle shaped design and glossy back. The Alcatel 5 is again a rectangular
phone v with taller bezel up top that houses dual front cameras along with
flash. The back has a subtly ridged texture.
The company just said that it uses Qualcomm and
MediaTek processors for the series without giving and another specifications of
them, which will be revealed next month, probably at the MWC 2018.
