After showcasing its first smartwatch at CES 2015, Alcatel OneTouch showcased its new idol 2015 series at MWC 3, which can answer calls normally even when turned upside down. The new models are available in 5.5-inch and 4.7-inch versions.
Although the idol 3 series of new phones exhibited by Alcatel OneTouch do not look particularly special, the upper and lower ends of the front of the phone have the same appearance design, and are each equipped with a microphone and earpiece design. In addition, the new version of the Android operating system has a display direction that can be freely flipped, allowing users to answer calls in either direction through the "orientation-free" design concept.
According to Alcatel OneTouch, this design is mainly for the situation that many people may hold the phone upside down in a panic when a call comes in, so that users can still make calls normally when the phone is held upside down. On the other hand, this design can also reduce the risk of the phone falling when it is turned upright in a panic.
至於在硬體規格部分，此次推出的idol 3系列分別推出5.5吋與4.7吋版本，其中5.5吋版本搭載Qualcomm Snapdragon 615處理器、1080P解析度、2GB記憶體與16GB儲存容量，相機規格則分別為1300萬畫素與800萬畫素，另外也加入LTE、NFC等功能，並且額外提供與JBL合作耳機配件。至於4.7吋版本則採用Qualcomm Snapdragon 410處理器、720P解析度、1GB記憶體與8GB儲存容量，前鏡頭畫素降低為500萬畫素，後鏡頭則維持採用1300萬畫素規格。
In addition, the idol 3 series also addsEyeVerify's Eyeprint ID biometric technology is based on identifying the distribution of blood vessels in the white of the eye, allowing users to unlock their phones by scanning their eyes. This feature is also available on the ZTE Grand S3 launched by ZTE.
