With the recent arrival of the Huawei Honor 4C in the country, we thought of pitting it against the Alcatel Flash Plus to see which one is the better sub-Php7K smartphone.
With the exclusion of pixel density of its screen, the Alcatel OneTouch Flash Plus dominates the Honor 4C in specs department. The former has bigger screen with Dragontrail Glass protection, twice the amount of internal storage, better graphics processing unit (Mali-T760 vs Mali-450) support for dual-LTE and has a more sizeable 3,500mAh battery.

If there’s one thing that’s going for the Huawei Honor 4C, it has to be its design. It’s got a more refined aesthetics than the Flash Plus. But despite having a smaller screen and more modest battery pack, Huawei’s new mid-range smartphone oddly weighs more than the OneTouch Flash Plus, and it’s slightly thicker too at 8.8mm.
Lastly, we have the pricing. The Alcatel OneTouch Flash Plus is Php500USD 9INR 722EUR 8CNY 62 cheaper than the Huawei Honor 4C at Php6,490USD 111INR 9,375EUR 105CNY 805. The latter though is now available locally. Based on this brief comparison, I think we can all agree that the Alcatel Flash Plus takes the cake for offering better feature set with cheaper price.

FYI. Alcaltel Flash Plus already lowered their price to 6490, based on an earlier yugatech article. Hence Alcaltel Flash Plus is not at the same price with honor…
It would be great if there is already a full review of Alcaltel Flash Plus in yugatech for a full understanding of its capability.
Thanks

Maganda sana ang hardware specs ng Alcatel Flash Plus, kaso parang hindi ganun kaganda ang interface niya. Pati yung hardware design ng phone medyo mataba pa yung bezel sa gilid.
rion says:
Don’t be fooled by Huawei Honor 4C’s bezel dyan sa pic. Hindi naman ganyan ka thin sa actual pics.

Not only does the Alcatel Flash Plus take the cake, it’s bringing the table along with it when compared to the 4C. 5.5″, Dragontrail, OGS, 8MP, 4.4.4, LTE!!! and get this – it scored almost 44K in Antutu.
