Alcatel 1L Pro


The Alcatel 1L Pro will cost around US$ 127 when it launchers in September in Latin America, the Middle East and Africa. That’s actually slightly cheaper than the vanilla 1L, which was announced in January at US$ 135. The Pro model boasts a faster chipset – an unnamed chip with an octa-core CPU, replacing the Helio A20 (quad A53 at 1.8 GHz). The memory capacity is the same at 2 GB of RAM (Go edition) and 32 GB storage, plus a microSD slot.

The phone uses the same 6.1” display with 720p+ resolution (19.5:9) and it has the same 13 MP camera on the rear with a 2 MP depth sensor. No, that’s not a third camera on there, just a circled “AI” label. The fingerprint reader on the back is real, though.
