Alcatel unviels it new Shine Lite offering high-end design, top-quality materials, fingerprint scanner for an affordable price to meet needs of budget stylish consumers.



“Our aim was to develop a high-end product without a high-end price, and we’ve done just that,” says Nicolas Zibell, General Manager of International Business and President of TCL Communication. “SHINE LITE has flagship-product design and relevant features, tailored  to meet the needs of our Gen Z consumers who look for a combination of style and substance, without a hefty price-tag.”

Shine Lite comes in combination of glass and metal with 2.5D Glass on both front and back sandwiching its metal frame producing a grand and elegant as well as well built smartphone. Sports a 5 inch 720p HD IPS Display. It is powered by Mediatek MT6737 Processor with Mali-T720 GPU coupled with 2GB RAM and 16GB Internal Storage expandable via MicroSD.



As for it optics it features a 13MP Primary camera supported with Dual Tone Led Flash. Its front camera is at 5MP but it will come with front selfie flash.

Packs Fingerprint sensors for more personalize security as well as offers private Safebox, where users can store private photos, videos, music and documents.
