TCL announced the launch of two new budget smartphones in Canada, the Alcatel 1B and 1X.
Both phones are now available with Bell and Freedom Mobile. Below are some of the details about the two phones.
Alcatel 1B

Further, the 1B runs on a quad-core processor, has 2GB of RAM and 16GB of storage expandable up to 128GB.
