The second iteration of Alcatel’s hit smartphone was just officially announced in the form of the Flash Plus 2. We now pit them side-by-side in this quick specs comparison to determine what has changed and what has been upgraded.
Advantages of Flash Plus 2:
- Higher display resolution
- Higher pixel density
- Better processor
- Better GPU
- Bigger RAM
- Double the storage
- Bigger memory expansion
- Fingerprint sensor
- Hi-Fi chip
- Updated OS
Advantages of Flash Plus:
- Higher resolution on front camera
- Bigger battery
Specs that stayed the same:
- Display size
- Resolution on rear camera
- Dual-SIM
- Connectivity
The new Flash Plus 2 indeed has beefier specs than its predecessor. It now has a fingerprint sensor, a Hi-Fi chip, and double the internals of the previous model. The older variant had a bit of advantage over the Flash Plus 2 in terms of front camera resolution and battery capacity. On the other hand, display size and a few other things remained the same.
With these in mind, are you interested in getting the new variant once it comes out?

Why not write the conclusion like this?
We know how much a great bang for buck the alcatel flash plus is when it launched, and sold well until it was discontinued. It was a great phone, with a great battery life, powerful processor, snappy performance, and a decent camera. Now that its successor has launched, offering double the internal storage, Full HD screen, a modern Helio P10 chipset, metal design, a HiFi audio chip, and a fingerprint sensor, but a lower resolution front camera and a lower capacity battery, will it emulate the success and popularity of the Flash Plus as a great budget android phone?
