We managed to get a hold of an early test unit of the Alcatel Flash Plus and immediately went to test how powerful and optimized the octa-core processor. Check out the benchmark results we got from the handset.
The Flash Plus uses a Mediatek MT6752 which is a 64-bit octa-core 4G LTE chip based on the ARM Cortex-A53 processor with ARM Mali-T760 graphics. It has a maximum core speed of 2.0GHz but in the case of the Flash Plus, they underclocked it to just 1.7GHz to allow for better battery efficiency.
That, and the 3,500mAh battery rating should give us some pretty good results in our battery tests (We just discovered that the battery is non-removable).
Here are our initial benchmark results.
| Benchmark Test | Alcatel Flash Plus | Zenfone 2 ZE500CL |
|---|---|---|
| Antutu Benchmark | 43,519 | 23,231 |
| Quadrant Standard | 20,149 | 8,182 |
| Vellamo | 1,675 (Multicore) | 938 (Multicore) |
| 3,238 (Chrome) | 1366 (Chrome) | |
| 1,194 (Metal) | 646 (Metal) | |
| PCMark | 4,030 (Work Performance) | 3,573 (Ice Storm Unlimited) |
| 3DMark | 6,752 (Ice Storm Extreme) | - |
The Antutu score of 43,519 is pretty impressive — it sits between the 1.8GHz Z3560 of the Zenfone 2 ZE550ML at 42k and the 2.3GHz Z3580 of the Zenfone 2 ZE551ML at 45k.
The Quadrant Standard score of 20,149 also beat the 1.8GHz Z3560 of the Zenfone 2 ZE551ML although the 2.3GHz is still better.
Even the Vellamo Chrome Browser test got a score of 3,238 which is way higher than most flagship handsets from last year.
As for the price, we now got a definite figure (the earlier Php6,990 price we floated before was our own suggestion to Alcatel) we are confirming and the release date has been moved back a couple of weeks this May.
hahahaha! Yan ang sinasabi ko eh. Kaya iPhone pa rin the best eh. Sinsabi nyo low tech ang Apple eh yan octacore na 44k+ ang benchmark? Mataas ba yun? Mga tanga! Ung iPhone 5s ko nga dual core lang na 1.3Ghz 40k ang benchmark sa Antutu eh. Wag kasi puro specs, hndi porke ganyan ang nakalagay bili kau agad. Mas napapamahal kau sa ganyang klase na mga phone. Mabuti pang bumili ng premium kesa mura nga sabaw naman!
Apple fan boy alert. :v P40k nga benchmark ng iPhone 5s mo, 25-30k naman presyo ng phone. Ito 44k+ sa AnTutu P6.5k lang. Wala nga sa specs yan. Sa benchmark performance vs. price ratio nagkakatalo. :)
The unit tested here has MT6752 @1.7GHz and rear camera @ f/2.2…
But older threads here http://www.yugatech.com/mobile/alcatel-flash-plus-in-the-flesh-first-impressions/
and websites elsewhere has the unit with a downgraded MT6752M @1.5GHz but with a better f/2.0 camera…Nalilito aq s specs if I would order now.
So, which is it?
What are the specifics band of its LTE? Is it compatible to both Smart and Globe current LTEs?
And also, both sims are 4G capable right? But only 1 at a time?
All else equal, alin kaya mas matagal battery life – lenovo a5000 o yan?
Oo nga yung camera bakit f/2.2 diba yung Sony IMX 214 ay f/2.0!
So ibig sabihin hindi Sony IMX 214 yung camera ganon?
So ibig sabihin din niloloko nyo kami?
Baka interpolated nanaman yung camera nyan!
Sana po may sumagot, para di sayang pera namin.
i think we need another clarification on this. Does this really have a Sony sensor
Ganito kasi, yung camera sensor ay separate component sa whole camera module. Pwedeng IMX214 tapos f1.8 pa nga eh kung gusto mo, pero siyempre bahala na yung manufacturer kung ano yung pinaka effective na combination at most cost-effective na configuration.
TL;DR – independent ang f-number sa image sensor.
ayy non removable ung bat perfect nasa kung removable, camera test nga! I’ve been waiting for this phone since its what I can only afford :p
why is the camera aperture 2.2??? they told us it is a sony imx214 with 2.0 aperture??? are they lying??? hmmm
Sir Yuga, may 32gb ROM version kaya ito?
Sana na po may camera review, para po mas convincing….
XD
Is that LeWa OS I see?
Is it?
:'(
y u do dis alcatel
you should get your facts straight before posting any article. you should be responsible enough not to mislead your readers.
We were consulted by Alcatel as to the SRP of the Flash Plus and we gave 3 price points, Php6,990 being the highest SRP of all 3 suggestions. They gave us a go ahead to report the Php6,990 price. This is the reason why we published Php6,990 in our previous stories — and, in case they changed their minds afterwards, the final SRP will still be lower than what we reported.
“Just got confirmation that Alcatel’s very affordable yet capable smartphone, the Alcatel Flash Plus, is set for release in the Philippines by May 1, 2015 with a price tag of around Php6k.” — May pa confirm confirm pa kayong nalalaman eh suggestion niyo lang pala yung price lol. Ngayon sure na ko nasa 7k+ yan. Yung mga 1GB ram nga nila nasa 4k-8k ang price eh, eto pa kaya haha.
We suggested different SRP to them, Php6,990 being the highest of all three suggestions. We got another info now that the SRP will be lower than Php6,990.
Aah ok haha. So mas mababa pa pala sa 6.9k? WOW nalang ahaha! Sana di lang to lazada exclusive, mas ok kung available din sa mga kiosks nila.
Wow.. What a bummer. There was much hype about this phone because of its price and then boom! Suggested by Yugatech lang pala. Haha. Kamot ulo tuloy

It would be better siguro if you will include such information on your future posts Sir Abe, to avoid confusion. Buti na lang pala less than the published price ang selling price. If it would have been higher, maraming tao ang madidisappoint
Sana 6495php lol
So it’s 1.7GHz and not 1.5GHz?
sabi nyo sa isang article nyo, yung price na 6990 galing mismo sa alcatel ph? ngayon own suggested price na lang?! ano ba talaga koya??
We suggested different SRP to them, Php6,990 being the highest of all three suggestions. We got another info now that the SRP will be lower than Php6,990.
Wow, they should release this first before ZF2…
May 1 daw, pero exclusively sa Lazada ka lang makakabili, pero after 1 month? o 3 months daw, makakabili ka na sa stores ni alcatel.
Nabasa ko yun somewhere e.
Wow ang taas.. ng benchmark. Magkano kaya ito.. alcatel is one of the best phone dati.
so gawa gawa nyo lang pala yung presyo? aba matinde!
hahaha. Aba talagang matinde!

Kailan ba yan lalabas sa kiosk stores? Sa lazada lang ba yan lalabas in May 1?
well sir, antay ka 3 mos pa.. kasi may contract alcatel kay lazada e..
May 15 po ang labas niyan sa Lazada
