Comes in a simple no frills design with textured back in Smoky Grey or White. It measures at 189.2 x 107.5 x 9.15 mm and weighs only 250g for easy handle and portable carriage.



As the name suggest, it is a 7 inch tablet with 600x1024 resolution TFT panel Display with 5-point Multi-touch. Powering the Pixi 4 7 Tablet is a Mediatek MT8321 Quad-Core Processor coupled with 1GB RAM and 8GB internal storage. It does have a MicroSD expansion slot to cover more storage needs. It runs the latest Android 6.0 Marshmalllow.



Just basic camera setup with Fixed Focus 5MP Rear and 2MP Front Camera that is sufficient for your regular social media captures. Same goes with connectivity with WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS. Howerver Pixi 4 7 inch Tablets offers Phone capabilities as well as 3G data connectivity on the go as it comes with a singular sim slot.

Pixi 4 7 inch tablet carries only a 2580mAh battery. Seems too little considering this is a 7 inch tablet with Phone and 3G.

Anyways, it is already out in the market and retails for only 4,499 Pesos!

Alcatel X1 Coming Soon Price Specs Philippines

Seems Alcatel is also in Metal trend as they will also be fighting off with their new Alcatel X1.


We got hold of Demo unit and its very premium and seems like a slimmer sleeker iPhone but not. Metal Frame Accented with Chamfers surely compliments the Curved 2.5D Front and Back Panel Glass. A 3D X wiith Spin effects that is immortalize on the back for unique aesthetics. It is really thin and light at 6.99mm and weighs 140g.



Alcatel X1 comes in 5 inch HD Display produce rich colors and great sunlit legibility. It is powered by new Snapdragon 415 Octa-Core with Adreno 405 GPU supported with 2GB RAM and 16GB Internal Storage. Got a chance to do an Antutu and it scored 26K which is higher than the old Snapdragon 410.





As for Optics it features a 13MP Primary Rear Camera at with 1/3.06 Sensor size, 1.12 um Pixel size, 79.8° Wide Angle at f/2.2 aperture with Dual Real-Tone LED Flash and for its front it is equipped with 5MP 1/4 Sensor size, 1.12 um Pixel size, 75.3° Wide Angle at f/2.0 aperture with Selfie Flash.

Quite a few tries with Focus but eventually got it working. Left Side am focus on IceKing while on the Left Side I am focused on the background. Does have the right amount of detail and colors. Even with strong lighting there were no signs of lens flare guess thanks to the 5 elements lens setup.

Selfie turn out great as even in low lighting conditions i can still see details of my face as well as colors are on point as seen by my blue polo shirt. Lines are clear and visible and no signs of distortion.

Regular connectivity is available such as WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS. Ultrafast LTE Cat 4 handles its internet connection on the Go. This is a Dual Sim Dual Standby handset. As for Sensors, it features



Alcatel X1 will also come with HiFi Sounds by Cirrus Logic technology and Arkamys Acoustic Enhancement Technology.

A unique feature, you can unlock the phone by, No not fingerprint but by looking at it. This is possible with EyeVerifiy Technology.

Just carries a 2150mAh non-removable battery. Guess Alcatel was limited to this to achieve a slimmer profile for the X1.

To wrap things up Alcatel X1 offers updated specs, brilliant optics and HIFI audio although we wished for more battery though. It's major competition is Samsung J5 2016 as they share near common qualities.

Alcatel estimates price of 13k. But if you are going to price this, How Much? Your comments are very much appreciated... Hopefully this arrive soon or to say June...

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.
