Alcatel OneTouch Idol X Specs
Description
The Alcatel OneTouch (OT) Idol X is another beastly smartphone from Alcatel. The OT Idol X features a 5-inch 1080p display and runs on the latest Android 4.2 Jelly Bean. Alcatel takes pride in a colorful approach to design, much like the latest Nokia devices, and has also managed to cram everything into a razor thin 7.1mm body. It has also achieved an edge-to-edge design for the display and has pre-loaded what seems like almost stock Android. Under the hood, the Alcatel One Touch Idol X is powered by a 1.5GHz quad-core processor, sporting 16GB of internal storage and a 2,000mAh battery. The camera is a 13-megapixel one.

For the cost I have paid for reasonable HW, UI replaced, utility to minimize the brightness for night reading installed, so weak sides can be overcome. Camera is doing nice pictures and videos with good light. So end to end excellent mid ranger.

Both me, my best friend and her sister all got this phone around the same time, and we all loved the feel and the build of the phone. It was really great. Mine, however, fell out of my pocket WHILE I WAS SITTING ON THE GROUND and got the tiniest scratch on it. The touchscreen stopped working, and I was told that it would cost the same amount to fix it as it would to buy a new phone, since it's a relatively obscure phone and no one has heard of it. Both my friend and her sister started experiencing lags, freezing and crashing after about a month of use. It can only open some apps now, albeit very slowly. If you want a phone for about 2 months, go right ahead and buy this one, otherwise it should be avoided.

- Great Camera
- Breaks easily
