After launching the Onetouch Idol X+ in India back in May, Alcatel has brought in its 6-inch Hero phablet and new additions to the Idol series. The handsets in the Idol range come in sizes of 4.3 to 5 inches with prices ranging between Rs 10000 and Rs 30000.
The OEM hasn’t mentioned the names of the new Idol devices, but they’re definitely going to be the X, S and mini models which went official last year. These phones are also the most recent additions to the series. The Alcatel Onetouch Idol X is basically a toned down version of the X+ and was launched much before the latter.
The smartphone features a 5-inch 1080p FHD touchscreen. A 1.5GHz quad core processor, 2GB RAM, a 13MP rear camera, dual SIM slota and a 2000mAh battery. Coming to the Idol S, the handset is just 7.4mm thick and it offers a 4.7-inch 720p HD IPS display with a 1.2GHz dual core processor delivering the steam.

This smartphone also features 1GB of RAM, 4GB storage, an 8MP rear camera and a 2000mAh battery. Then there’s the mini model that sports a 4.3-inch display, a 1.3GHz dual core processor, a 5MP camera, a 1700mAh battery and dual SIM slots. Additionally, the phone is just 96 grams light. All of the new Idol handsets run on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean and so does the Onetouch Hero.
