Vasan, X+ review coming up tomorrow.
Sir, What about the Alcatel Service Centers In Mumbai.??
Is it like Micromax service Centers.?
Gogi brother , will u do review of this phone …. Have you ordered it brother …..
What about after sale customer services ….. So many ppl don’t know more about this company
Can you pls answer for this
I have not ordered this but will see if I can get for review.
Gogi Bro, I have almost made up mind to buy the karbonn titanium octane plus. But having looked at the specs of Alcatel X+ , i have second thoughts. Purely in terms of spec comparison octane has superior camera (16 vs 13 ) , supports external memory card and has a removable battery. But the X+ has a better battery at 2500mah and has inbuilt 16GB memory. My question is
1. What advantages does a removable battery have over an non-removable one?
2. Kitkat vs Jelly Bean (w.r.t to performance and battery)
3. DLNA and wifi direct in X+. Never heard of these terms..
If you could do a review of the X+, it would be great
Gogi brother what do you think ……. this mobile got Android updates …… please reply me …..
Not sure, but MediaTek has released source code so KitKat is possible, it also depends on the Manufacturers if they want to roll out the update to consumers.
gogi sir…
can u tell me about alcatel company profile..is it a good brand?
i like the specs of this phone..but not sure for the company
suggest me..
This is a very old company and it seems they ate back with bang. Let’s see how it performs.
okay Nishad may b old company but is their products are good?
did u use any smartphone from this alcatel?
Karbonn titanium octane plus availaible on snapdeal..
how could i decide which octa core to buy as everyone has some unique features and also some unique lackings..
karbonn lacks in battery
micromax lacks in memory card storage
alcatel have low mp front cam
intex have low resolution display
Gionee is Little bit pricy
Wammy is not shipping at my address
and panasonic has only 1 gb ram…
I’m tired of searching octa core good phones in low price..
Dude go for alcatel blindly…..Karbonn and other indian brands promises 8mp front on paper but their quality is just like mere 1.3mp camera……..Alcatel has reach all over world in many countries…….they have 500+ service centres in india as IDEA phones are made by them…..I will be buying the Idol X+ because of their quality and the freebies they are providing right out of the box
alcatel has only 16gb memory and no expandable memory card slot..
its only android 4.2 not 4.4 or even 4.3
front cam is just 2mp
company claims to release kitkat update…..and an external pendrive could be connected via otg cable….i think this is the one
There are 2 versions of this phone actually.
One with Single Sim & MicroSD card slot and other one with Dual Sim card slots only.
But I don’t think they will release the Single Sim version in india .
So 17k for 12 GB of limited storage is not worthy. That’s why they are giving JBL headphones & Boomband to attract some people.
Kind of a disappointment from such a wonderful phone.
Sorry my bad. It’s 2 variants are 16GB model and 32GB model . So no sdcard support at all.
Really disappointing.
one with single sim and micro sd card slot is available in france usa and china
Everything was right from specs to price and i dont know why they didn’t gave an sd slot and upgrade to kitkat os too bad Alcatel grow up…..
