Alcatel OneTouch is an emerging brand in the mobile industry and we've taken a look at one of its higher spec smartphones. Here's our Alcatel OneTouch Idol X+ review. Updated on 26/5/15 with our video review. Also see: Best smartphones 2014 and Best...
The Alcatel OneTouch Idol X+ is one of the best dual-SIM phones we've reviewed and a good choice for the price. It has a nice design and good features like a Full HD display and 13 Mp camera but bear in mind that the Moto G 2014 and ZTE Blade S6 are...

The Alcatel OneTouch Idol X+ has been out for some time now, but it's still got a lot to offer and at an even more reasonable price tag than when it first launched.Design: Between two worldsWhilst it's…
Clean design ; Attractive screen ; Great value for money
Inconsistant performance ; Poor video ; No microSD slot
As a refresh over the classic X, the Alcatel OneTouch Idol X+ makes some interesting choices. We enjoyed the design, the screen tech, the majority of the UI and the sub £250 price point makes a lot of sense too.

Alcatel has been ramping up its product offerings as well as its range of devices. It showed off a number of notable smartphones, tablets and even a smart watch at CES 2015. While those products haven't been slated for Canadian release, their OneTouch...
Featuring a very clear full-HD display, great sound and call quality plus an outstanding battery life, the Alcatel OneTouch Idol X+ is priced reasonably at $350 outright or free on two-year TELUS plans.
Expert review by : GSMArena team (gsmarena.com)
Alcatel has been slowly, but steadily making a name for itself for selling affordable, well-made phones throughout the entire price range. This year's Idol X+ is their flagship and it's an affordable yet robust product. With an octa-core processor of...
Dual-SIM support ; Quad-band GSM/GPRS/EDGE support; Dual-band 3G with HSPA for both SIM cards ; 5" 16M-color 1080p IPS LCD capacitive touchscreen ; Android OS v4.2.1 Jelly Bean ; Octa-core 2.0 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU, 2 GB RAM, Mali-450MP4 GPU, MediaTek...
Non-replaceable battery ; No microSD card slot ; No LTE ; Android version not quite up-to-date ; Below average loudspeaker performance ; Back cover doesn't feel premium and gets easily smudged and scratched
The Alcatel Idol X+ has its downsides. Take the lack of a microSD slot and the non-removable battery, as well as the now ageing Android version and the low loudspeaker volume. The fact of the matter is the Alcatel's Idol X+ is an extremely compelling...

Nothing says 'overachiever' quite like this Android smartphone's octa-core CPU. We check out the phone here at CES.
Expert review by : Daniel P. (phonearena.com)
The Idol X+ upgrades on the weakest spot of the Idol X, boasting the “true octa-core” MediaTek processor, instead of the wimpy quad-core that we had last year, but the other main specs, like the 5” 1080p panel, remained unchanged. Alcatel did add...
Very good 1080p display ; Excellent noise-canceling mics ; Hot-swap dual SIM support ; Quality audio output and JBL headset in the box
Older Android version with sketchy chances for update ; Video framerate falls significantly in low-light conditions ; Weak LED flash ; Uncomfortably placed power/lock key
When the OneTouch Idol X came last year, it was the thinnest, lightest, and cheapest 5” handset with a good 1080p display. Its Idol X+ successor, however, will have a steeper climb ahead of it. Granted, the phone has remained relatively compact, and...

With the competition in this price segment getting stiffer, how does latest Alcatel offering fare? We find out in this Alcatel One Touch Idol X+ review!
So there you have it – the Alcatel OneTouch Idol X+. It’s available now for below $400 off contract but it’s a rather steep price to pay for a phone with no LTE, lack of 3G support with carriers in the US, and the low probability of software updates....

Since now I have been a faithful Apple customer. But I have officially made the transition. This phone is great. As for durability, you can take this however you would like but here is my experience with the phone. I have dropped my Alcatel so many...
Great camera quality, very sleek
cracks cause lots of damage
Consumer review (mouthshut.com)
Hello People, This phone was bought by me from Flipkart(it is an exclusive). At the time, the configuration was amazing, the price tag was reasonable but the company was new. We took a leap of faith and ordered the phone. I will talk about the...
