T-Mobile today listed the “Alcatel IDOL 4S with Windows 10 VR” on its web site.
The unique version of the Idol 4S not only runs Windows 10, but sports many of the upgrades available in the related BlackBerry DTEK60, such as the high-end Snapdragon 820 processor, 21-megapixel camera, and USB Type-C connector, none of which are in the standard Idol 4S.
The Idol 4S with Windows 10 also includes free VR goggles (for a limited time) for use with “pre-loaded games and videos”. While the standard Idol 4S includes a Quad-HD display ideal for VR, this version steps down to a full-HD display, according to T-Mobile’s specs. The Idol 4S with Windows 10 also supports Windows Continuum, which lets you connect a screen and keyboard to turn the phone into a full Windows 10 computer.
Other features of the phone include a memory card slot, stereo speakers, 8-megapixel front camera, and 4 GB of RAM. T-Mobile’s specs do not mention NFC. Pricing and release date have yet to be announced.
