Alcatel OneTouch is really making some inroads into the Canadian market. They just added the Idol 2s to Bell and Virgin and now a couple more devices are on their way to Telus. Telus recently tweeted that they will soon be carrying the Alcatel OneTouch Idol X+ as well as the Pop 8. Here are the specs for the devices:
Idol X+
- 5″ 1080p IPS Display
- 2GHz Octo-Core MediaTek Processor
- 2GB RAM
- 16GB Internal Storage
- 13MP Camerera
- 2MP Front Facing Camera
- 2500 mAh Battery
- Android 4.4.2
Pop 8
- 8″ 1280×800 Resolution IPS Display
- 1.3GHz Quad-Core MediaTek Processor
- 1GB RAM
- 4GB Internal Storage
- microSD Card Slot
- 2MP Camera
- VGA Front Facing Camera
- 4100 mAh Battery
- Android 4.2
The Pop 8 is definitely an underwhelming tablet but the Idol X+ could be a decent offering. Despite the Idol X+ having 8 cores, the processor still won’t measure up with the latest Snapdragon offerings but it won’t be a slouch either. Both devices should be very competitively prices so they may be worth a look if you’re looking for a more wallet friendly option. No word on when these devices will hit Telus but we’ll keep you posted.
