Following the 360 degrees feature of the IDOL 3, the IDOL 4S also carries the same and thanks to its symmetrical design with Dual Mic and Dual Speakers for which you can operate whether what side you handle your IDOL 4s.

Look at it optics, it carries a 16MP with Sony IMX 298 at 1/2.8” 1.12um sensor with 6P Lens at f/2.0 aperture with Phase Detection Auto-Focus that lets you capture detailed and well exposed images and videos even in low light conditions. Dual Real-Tone Flash support lights up your capture but retains a more natural colors. Upfront there is a 8MP front selfie camera which is also at 1.12um but offers a 84 degrees Wide Angle Lens which gives you more frame to capture and so great for groufies or taking in more scenery.

All Pictures were taken in Auto Mode... I had some trouble focusing but so far captures turn out well exposed. The IceKing is focused on first picture while on the second the background is focused. Clearly its rear camera has an aperture size of f/2.0 and so even in low light it does well. Selfies come out clear as you can see but seems there's too much noise reduction.

Complete set of connectivity feature from the regular WiFi, Bluetooth, GPS and NFC. This is a Dual Sim Dual Standby handset which supports LTE internet connectivity on both Sim.

Carries 3000mAh non-removable battery that supports Quick Charge 2.0. Quoted to last 13Hrs of Talktime, 40h (headset) 11h (loadspeaker) of Music Playback. Full Charging Time is 1.5 Hours.

Alcatel Idol 4s VR

We got to try the VR kit and it did a great job. Controls found on the bottom of the VR Headset. As it was comfortable to have on and easy setup. It is far better than ANTVR offered by Lenovo.
