Alcatel Idol X+ to launch with smartwatch and smart bracelet?

On Thursday, we told you some more information about the TCL/Alcatel Idol X+, which is going to be powered by the true octa-core MT6592 CPU. That chip allows all eight cores to be active at the same time. The rest of the specs belonging to the Idol X+ are top-shelf, including the 5 inch screen with 1080 x 1920 resolution, 2GB of RAM and a 13MP rear-facing snapper. 

It also appears that TCL/Alcatel has some other interesting products that will be released at the same time as the Idol X+. A published report out of China includes a picture showing a smartphone alongside what appears to be a smartwatch and a smart bracelet. The image also shows a cryptic formula
reading "1+1>2?" We don't know what the capabilities will be for the watch or the bracelet, but at the very least we would imagine that they will be able to notify the user to phone calls or messages coming in to the Idol X+.

While TCL licenses the Alcatel name, we expect the phone and accessories to be branded TCL in China and Alcatel elsewhere in the world where the products will be offered. The prior model, the Alcatel One Touch Idol X, was priced at $350 lock, stock and barrel so the Idol X+ could turn out to be a very affordable package.
