The new Idol comes with a brand new look with spin-like finish and curved metallic frames. Though I think they was inspired by the iPhone aesthetics.Moving on, the device carries a 5 inch Full HD IPS Display with Corning Gorilla Glass 2 offering strong, scratch-resistance as well as quality viewing pleasures.
The Plus might refer to added power with added cores as it is powered with Mediatek MT6592 Octa-Core Processor clocked at 2GHz with Mali450-MP4 GPU coupled by 2GB RAM and 16GB/32GB Internal storage (expandable via microSD). Certainly the chipset boost performance and guarantees fluid Android and smooth gaming experience.
Connectivity features your regular WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS. Does have that higher bandwidth data connectivity with download speed of 42Mbps though upload speed has been redduced to only 5Mbps from 11Mbps of Idol X. Data speed really depends on your service provider even when you pack the advance modem if your network just limits you with up to 2Mbps.
Same old 13MP/2MP combo for its camera features. Does have LED Flash to support the rear camera for low-light conditions.
It packs an 2500mAh battery. It is bigger by 500mAh but it is a non-removable sacrifice.
The Alcatel Idol X+ is just an update on its flagship bring more core and more power and retaining some key qualities like display, connectivity and camera features. One thing that could hurt sale of this phone is pricing which cost 17,550.00, so steep compared to what local brands offer or even to Xiaomi Mi3. It is rather late so I suggest Alcatel should do some cuts or be left out.
