Alcatel is bundling the handset with a pair of JBL earbuds and an LED-equipped wristband accessory that accepts notifications and also functions as a pedometer, sleep tracker and proximity alarm.

Details about the price is still unknown but it is expected to go on sale in Asian countries this month.

What’s the use of having so many cores in your damn mobile CPU if it gulps power like there’s no tomorrow?

Seriously, these smartphone and tablet CPU manufacturers are doing it one step forward, three steps backwards when it comes into making their new CPUs. Sure, they can make their CPUs faster but they can’t even lower the damn power consumption.

Buti pa sa desktop and laptop processors, napapababa yung power consumption kahit nagkakaroon ng speed boost sa CPU, eh sa mga smartphone/tablet CPUs, halos hindi mapababa yung power consumption.

Expect the octa-core CPU in this device to rape that poor little battery.

Who the hell needs SACD support when you can hardly find media in that format?

”SACD’s 24bit/192KHz playback which is four times better than a CD.”

I LOL’d at this
While on paper that is, it is technically better than a CD audio, the difference is sonically imperceptible (negligible) because there’s a limit to what the human ear can actually perceive. Heck one couldn’t even tell the difference between a 320kbps vs Lossless/FLAC , even with good speakers!

i’m using the ultra HD and i’m very satisfied with it. and I’m very interesting in upgrading to this once it comes out, specially that it has a good DAC and Amp since I’m a music lover. I hope it comes with Arkamys too.

Maganda po itong Alacatel idol x+. Kung may problema po sa battery just download the app battery booster….. Effective sya- syempre with no wifi- ginagamit ko sya sa phone kong 2 hours pa lang ginagamit low bat na… Nung dinownload ko ito up to 3 days standby time nya… Under 15k po ito at baka lumabas ito sa Pilipinas sa november this year dahil available na daw po ito sa china. Kung hindi naman po ngaun year baka next year para maging isa sa magagandang phone for 2015…. No worries… Maganada itong phone na ito. Bibii din ako
