Alcatel brought some budget-conscious offerings to the MWC and the most affordable of the line-up is the Alcatel 1X, the company’s first Android Oreo (Go edition) phone. The Alcatel 1X, packs a 5.3-inch 18:9 display with a single rear-facing 13MP camera and 1GB of RAM. Alcatel's the latest one we've seen that embraced the Android OS and it looks like it's doing something good for them. The one we have here, an Alcatel One Touch Blaze 990, will be launched in August 4 with an introductory price of Php9,999. The Blaze 990 has a slightly larger screen size of 3.5" (diagonally) compared to the usual 3.2" we're seeing in other smartphones in the same category and price point. The Alcatel OT Blaze 990 would have been an attractive Android handset had they brought it earlier this year. The suggested retail price of Php15k is a bit much considering there are a lot of more capable Android handsets in that price point. This could be the reason why they're pegging it down to just Php9,999 (which, IMO, might be the permanent price).
