Tipster extraordinaire Evan Blass has disseminated several tweets today showing renders for six upcoming Alcatel handsets. The sextet are expected to be released sometime in 2018. The Alcatel 1X is a low-to-mid-range model. The Alcatel 3 features a rear-facing fingerprint scanner as does the Alcatel 3C, The latter includes a curved back, and a speaker adorns the rear of the phone.
The Alcatel 3V and Alcatel 3X both feature a dual camera-setup on back, with a fingerprint scanner underneath. The latter appears to have very minimal side bezels. And that leaves the Alcatel 5. This model appears to sport an 18:9 aspect ratio and carries a very small lower bezel. With a metal build, this could be Alcatel's flagship in 2018.
Alcatel will apparently no longer use the IDOL name for its handsets in 2018. This year, Alcatel signed a pact to license its designs and software to China's TCL.
