Flash Plus 2 Live

Join Flash Plus 2 Official FB Group see here>>> Flash Plus 2™ (PH Official Group)Update! Per Press release... Flash New Product will be powered by Helio P10 so meaning there might be truth to GFXBench. Fast charging is said to be supported also as they partnered with Texas Instruments on this.

Guess Flash Plus 2 is not just about Power but also offers better camera and sounds. As Flash seeks to rethink delicacy and creativity into music-playing as well as take instantaneous moments last and shine.

We reported that Alcatel was giving hints on its new device as they conducted and concluded "Life with Metal" Photography contest where in they may release a smartphone with a metallic built. Well this is to say much on the outside appearance and not so much on internal so we done some digging.

Flash Plus 2?

We found that there were reports, Alcatel Flash Plus 2 shows up via gfxbench. Per GFXBench, it details that Flash Plus 2 is said to carry a 4.6 inch Full HD Display powered by Mediatek Helio P10 MT6755BM coupled by 2GB RAM and 16GB (10GB usable?) internal storage. Camera features 13MP rear and 8MP Front. No details of connectivity but since its Helio we assume it will have regular set with LTE cellular data. Runs on Android 6.0 Marshmallow.

Look what we have here a render of new product, Flash Plus 2... Looking up close it really does sport metal and glass and I can also see antenna lines running on top and bottom. Right side Power / Lock buttons and Volume Rocker. A Physical home button is also there so will the new Flash Plus 2 have fingerprint sensor?

Alcatel Pixi 4 6 Appears! Price Specs Philippines

Alcatel cuts prices on some of their smartphones! Now Alcatel Pixi 4 6 id only 4,999 Pesos!

Alcatel is on a roll releasing Go and Pixi series phones, now another emerge - Pixi 4 6.

Pixi 4 6 inch is Alcatel's new phablet offering that features a 6 qHD inch IPS Display for bigger screen great for entertainment and games. Reminiscent of Flash Plus but on just a bigger scale. Even with polycarbonate construction it is well built and no creaking sounds when handling the device.

MicroSIM Slots is located on the left side of the phone while microSD compartment together with volume rocker and power/lock button is on the right. The MicroUSB and 3.5mm jack is situated on top which is convenient when using your phone in portrait mode if charging and listening to music.

Inside,is a Mediatek MT8321 Quad-Core Processor (usually for tablets) coupled with 1GB RAM and 8GB internal Storage. A microSD Card slot is available for additional storage. Surprisingly enough Pixi 4 6 inch scored Antutu at 23K mark. This may be due to its low qHD resolution paired with tablet class processor. This can be seen in gaming performance as we were able to play Asphalt 8 Airborne at High Settings with less or no lag. Then again if you will be playing try closing running apps and focus on your game. It will handle casual games better but with tweak in display setting will be able some HD Games in medium-low settings.

Runs on Android Lollipop. Its UI is clean and near to stock offering but with few additional features as well as Marshmallow-style notification and control panel. Dual Tap Gesture is added to lessen strain on your power button. Build-in Memory cleaner is there to help close running apps and optimize your system. When you think you lost it, Find My Phone feature is available so you could track location of your smartphone. Although there is a bug where in when you restart the device, language change to Filipino and Setting revert back to original state.

For its camera features, Alcatel Pixi 4 6 is equipped with 13MP Rear Camera and 8MP Front Camera. Both will have LED Flash for light support.

Camera was a surprise as it took quality photos especially daylight shots. Low-lit moments like sunsets come out better with rich colors and adequate contrast. HDR works well lightening up shadows while keeping details intact. The f/2.0 aperture of the rear camera make this possible. Although when it comes to Night shots or near darkness, you really need that flash to brighten up thing or you might not see much.

Selfies is just like the rear camera, good in well-lit conditions. It does have front selfie flash for low light and when against the light to light up your face.

Camera comes in Auto, HDR, Manual, Pano, Scanner, Face Beauty, and Polaroid Mode. Manual Mode offers controls for ISO and White Balance however we thought it would control Shutter Speed, sadly S was for exposure compensation. Polaroid Mode gives you layouts your capture into polaroid-style.

You do get regular set of connectivity features  like WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS. It makes use of Micro Sim cards.It is a Dual Sim Handset both offering 3G Data Connectivity. It is USB OTG enabled so you could use your usb peripherals like flash drives.

Sorry about that... Seems Philippines will just have the 3G model and not the LTE Model.

Carries a 2580mAh battery which should last you the day with moderate use of course. But if your always on or heavy lifting then I might suggest a powerbank.

Overall, Pixi 4 6 inch is not bad at all. It is a well-constructed phablet that performs with better camera quality. Cons for this smartphone is the software reset bug and low memory (ram) but can be address through firmware updates and ram management by the user. Best suited for New, Social Media, Basic Android User.

Have review unit on hand... What else do you like to know about the phone?

Alcatel Pop 3 5.5 DTV inch Now Available Specs Price Philippines

Here is another new one by Alcatel - Pop 3 5.5 inch.

From water and dust resistance, now Alcatel ventures in DTV. Yes, Alcatel Pop 3 5.5 inch is a DTV Smartphone that lets you watch TV on its 5.5 inch HD IPS Scratch-Resistant Display. Comes in a beautifully pleather-like back case with stitches on the sides while clean on the front but accented with led-backlit circular capacitive keys. On the right side lies the power key and volume rocker. At the top lies 3.5mm jack.

Under the hood, it is powered by 1.3GHz Quad-Core processor Mediatek MT6580 coupled with 1GB RAM and 8GB Internal Storage. A MicroSD slot is available if you need more storage for up to 128GB. It ganered a 23K Antutu Score which is decent enough for an entry level device. We did have manageable gameplay of Asphalt 8 and yeah it can play Pokemon Go (A.R. Mode not supported).

No Gyro Sensor here so it will not support VR.

Supports only HSPA+/3G/2G for data connection but you do have the regular WiFi, Bluetooth and GPS. This is a Dual Sim handset. USB OTG is not Supported.

Alcatel Pop 3 5.5 inch carries a 13MP rear camera with LED flash and 5MP Front camera which should produce quality outputs for pictures and videos as well as cater to your video-calls and selfies. Camera UI is just basic with only auto, hdr, beauty, panorama, and scanner. Here are samples we got from our review unit.

Focus is just decent and gets the foreground and background. IT did failed to focus on closer subjects like that flower for example.

Auto mode (Left) is way better than its HDR (Center) feature. We could see the Buildings clearly but too much highlight washout the cloud details. Night shots is grainy for my taste but still you could still see details of buildings when you zoom in. Oh its flash is so powerful it can light up a dark room!

As for the front camera, it does take high detailed outputs in good lightning condition but poor in low light. So if you are gonna take those selfie shot then be sure you have enough light source.

This is the first DTV Smartphone from Alcatel. So we tried it out. Upon opening the MobileTV App, we were greeted with a prompt to connect headset to serves as antenna. Well this should be good compared to carrying around a separate antenna. However when we scan for channels we just got a few. MobileTV app UI is just simple can show in portrait and landscape mode. Lets you grab a scene but it does not feature recording.

Packs a 2500mAh Battery which should last the day of moderate usage of course.

Priced for 6,299 Pesos! Guess TV cost a lot but like Go Play, I wished Alcatel put more RAM on this. A Promo is going on for March and with every purchase of Alcatel Pop 3 5.5 inch you get a 8GB MicroSD and an OK Stand.

Overall, it just decent entry level smartphone from Alcatel. It's HD Display is good for watching MobileTV but wish they improved on reception. Camera is great in daylight as well as with flash. This one is for those who are always on the go while catching up with their favorite TV Shows with DTV. Now Only 6,299 5,799 4,399 Pesos!
