When Alcatel first announced its 5, 3v and 1x series of smartphones at CES 2018, the company left out vital information related to each series of device’s specific technical specifications.
At the company’s 2018 Mobile World Congress press conference, Alcatel finally revealed additional details about its 2018 line-up of smartphones, including full technical specs for each device.
It’s worth noting that some questions still remain, particularly regarding Canadian pricing and availability. It’s likely that some of these devices, particularly the Alcatel 5, will make their way to Canada. We’ve reached out to Alcatel for additional information.
