Display and size of Alcatel One Touch Idol 3:

Alcatel One Touch Idol has been launched with dual tastes according to its display and specs. The shape and look of both are exactly the same things, the difference is in its display and specs. One Touch Idol 3 has a 5.5 inches screen that is ranked high for its display and One Touch Idol with 4.7″ display that has a bit shorter specs that neither has that better camera, nor processing storage and battery capacity. So all we recommend you is the One Touch Idol with big screen.

Memory:

As we have mentioned that Alcatel One Touch Idol has been launched with two tastes, so the one with 5.5″ display has 2GB RAM and 16 GB ROM and the one with 4.7″ display has 1.5 GB RAM and 8 GB ROM.

The best Feature in Alcatel One Touch Idol 3 Review:

As for as the main and contrast features are concerned, every smartphone do have something special in them. The one we observed in Alcatel One Touch Idol 3 Review is the tilting option. If you turn ON the reversible button and tilt your smartphone upside down. The layout shuffles to 180 degrees with the exact same look and you won’t be able to distinguish the top and bottom of the smartphone. This is the two way setting in the OS of Alcatel that keeps the display, the way you use it. Other thing is that, if you are talking and at the same time you turn the screen upside down, the nature of the speaker and mic also changes. The Mic becomes the speaker and the speaker becomes the mic for you and you may talk with ease with your Alcatel One Touch Idol 3.
