Powering the device is Mediatek new MT6752 64bit Octa-Core processor coupled with ample 2GB RAM and 16GB Internal storage that can be expandable via microSD.

Battery at 3500mAh lasted the day of moderate to heavy use but still has enough juice.
Alcatel Flash Plus is really great bang-for-buck Phablet with a very large HD Display, reliable up-to-date Chipset, LTE and Battery life that last the day and more. Alcatel shakes the ever competitive Philippine Market with competition from international and local brands trying to keep up. For 6,499, Alcatel Flash Plus proves that quality device is not just about price.
On a side note, my unit had problems with WiFi as my router was just on the side of Flash Plus but it registers low signal. Another problem I encountered is its Hotspot feature, some devices cannot detect Flash Plus. I have tried two smartphones, the older Lumia 925 connected to it while the newer CM Luxe can't even detect it. Same results for Laptops, the old MSI Wind Netbook detected Flash Plus but Asus Transformer T100 did not. This my reason why I returned my unit for replacement. So better check yours...
