Posted: 19 Mar 2013 01:00 AM PDT

As you know, Alcatel has announced One Touch Fire that runs on Firefox Mobile OS, but if that's not your cup of tea, today we have another device from this company.

One Touch Idol X is the latest high-end smartphone from Alcatel, and it comes with 5-inch 1080p edge-to-edge display. Additional hardware specs include quad-core 1.2 GHz CPU, 16GB of internal storage and 13-megapixel camera. Of course, there's a SD slot for expansion and a 2,000 mAh battery as well. We should also mention that Alcatel One Touch Idol X is a rather thin device, and it measures only 7.1mm in thickness. You should also know that this smartphone will be available in several colors, but sadly, there won't be LTE support. As for the software, Alcatel One Touch Idol X should run on Android 4.2.

Alcatel One Touch Idol X sounds great, and as for the availability, we should see this device someday in July, but the exact release date and price remain a mystery.
