Alcatel POP S Series LTE Budget Phones - POP S3, POP S7, and POP S9

Alcatel outs its new wave of POP with S for speed - or to say with LTE.

Lets start out small, thats the POP S3 which sports the most modest features. Its display is a 4 inch with WVGA Resolution powered by 1.2GHz Quad-Core Processor (cough, Mediatek) together with 1GB RAM and 4GB of Internal Storage. Camera combo of 5MP with Flash on the rear and VGA on the front. Connectivity to say is a win-win for it has WiFi, Bluetooth 4.0, NFC and last and foremost LTE. Powering the POP S3 is a 2000mAh battery. (no pricing detail)


Moving on the medium sized offering- the POP S7, with its 5 inch qHD Display which is at its heart is the new Mediatek chipset clocked at 1.3GHz that supports LTE. With regards to the other internals, camera, and connectivity features is just the same with the POP S3. The Battery is just a tad higher at 3000mAh. ($260 More or Less will be sold at 11K)

If you still looking for a bigger screen that will suit your big fingers like me haha well the POP S9 might be for you cause it houses a 6 (5.9?) inch HD Display with Oleophobic coating and is powered by Qualcomm 1.2GHz Snapdragon 400 Quad-Core Processor. It does have the 1GB RAM but with a bigger internal storage at 8GB. Its optics is slight upgrade at 8MP rear with flash and 2.2MP front. Battery is at 3400mAh. ($300 more or less will be sold for 14K)

Offering LTE is to say the main selling point of the new Alcatel Pop S series. It also covers user preference in screen sizes as well as packs decent internals and complete set of connectivity. But with regards to availability it depends cause like in the POP C series which was presented but not all have been release in the Philippine Market. Just hope your desired unit get release or Alcatel may be good this year. :)
