TCL has announced that it intends to sell the Alcatel 1X with Android Go and the Alcatel 3V in the U.S. in the next few months.
Both phones were announced earlier this year. The Alcatel 1X (pictured below) is a small, entry-level device with the Android 8.1 Oreo Go Edition on board.
Android Go is intended for low-powered phones and includes optimized Go variants of core apps such as Gmail, Maps, and YouTube. The 1X has a 5.3-inch, 18:9 screen with a quad-core MediaTek processor, 2 GB of RAM, 16 GB of storage, 13-megapixel main camera and 8-megapixel selfie camera. The U.S. version, priced at $100, will include a fingerprint reader.
The Alcatel 3V has a 6-inch, 18:9 display and includes a quad-core MediaTek processor with 2 GB of RAM and at least 16 GB of storage. The rear camera has a 12-megapixel main sensor and 2-megapixel secondary sensor for bokeh-style photos. The 3V comes in black, gold, or blue with a fingerprint reader, and runs Android 8 Oreo.
TCL said more details will be made available soon.
