Successor to the Alcatel Idol 3 leaks in support documents

In support documents leaked on Alcatel’s own website, we may be seeing our first look at the successor to the popular budget phone, the Idol 3. The Idol 4 and 4S were leaked in great detail, and if true, it looks like we’re in for two more great phones from Alcatel.

The Idol 4S, appears to be the higher end of the two devices, while the 4 will offer very respectable specs for a mid-range device in 2016.

The Idol 4 looks to be the cheaper, more entry level version of the two leaked phones. The specs are still very good, especially with 3 GB of RAM and a 1080p screen headlining the show. The Snapdragon 617 is an octa-core chip clocked at 1.7 GHz for the four high powered cores and 1.2 GHz for the four low power cores. Megapixel count isn’t everything, but the camera will have electronic stabilization, a dual-tone flash, and real-time face beautification. Also mentioned is an 8 MP sub-camera with a wide-angle lens. We’re not exactly sure what a sub-camera is, but we’re betting that it’s the front facing camera.

The Idol 4S is the higher end of the two sporting the new Snapdragon 652 processor. The SD 652 is an octa-core chip clocked at 1.8 GHz for the more powerful cores and 1.4 GHz for the lower powered cores. The 3 GB of RAM is held over from the Idol 4, but we see an expansion to 32 GB of on board storage here. With the inclusion of a MicroSD card slot, you shouldn’t be hurting for storage space. The inclusion of a 2K AMOLED screen is something we’d expect to see on a high-end flagship phone, which leaves us wondering exactly what the Idol 4S will cost on release. The 4S also sees a bump to the camera with a 16 MP main shooter. The 8 MP sub-camera is also mentioned here, lending credence that it is in-fact the front facing camera.

The Idol 3 with a 5.5″ screen can be had right now for about $250, with the smaller 4.7″ screen version coming in at $180. The specs on both pretty closely match the Idol 4. No pricing details have been leaked, but we hope to see prices in line with last year’s release. Android Police were able to pull the documents off Alcatel’s website before they were taken down.
