Back in February, Alcatel announced the One Touch Idol X, a Full HD smartphone with a quad core chip. However, that phone never made it to local shores. It’s probably all for the best since Alcatel has seen fit to upgrade the One Touch Idol X and give it an octa core processor.

The Alcatel One Touch Idol X+ as it is called comes with MediaTek’s new octa core MT6592 chip, a Mali 450 GPU, 2GB RAM and 16GB of internal storage. The Idol X+ doesn’t look that much different from its predecessor, making this more of a spec refresh than anything else. Still, it’s nice that Alcatel decided to offer an octa core smartphone for 2014.

Looking to grab the Alcatel One Touch Idol X+ once it hits Philippine shores? No word on pricing or when it will actually get here. It costs $330 in China at the moment so it will likely cost somewhere around Php18k when it gets here.

  1. watch out for the release of micromax canvas A240 for myphone same specs with idol x+,THL Monkey king 2.and the latest octo of starmobile…..2014 year of Octo core phablet …dont rush sa pag bili..choice muna ..for sure due to competition bababa ang prize nito…

    1. Micromax canvas 5 A240 Specs :
      Full HD display 1080p .
      2 Ghz MediaTek’s MT6592 octo-core SoC
      2GB RAM .
      Battery capacity of 3000mAh .
      Latest Android OS – 4.2 or 4.3 .

  2. The Idol X is already available at 15.2k to 17999 php at Alcatel Kiosks. I’m wondering why it’s taken so long to release it here. If they continue to do that, expect Idol X+ to arrive in Nov-Dec 2014. But I hope it’ll arrive sooner.

  3. im seeing some great specs about this phone..let’s hope it sticks to the $330/php15-18k range or lower,or else alcatel will just have another obscenely-priced-for-the-specs phone, like the idol ultra.
