Alcatel’s Idol series phones may have better specs, but the company’s Pop line of phones are designed for more budget-conscious shoppers. And this year Alcatel is launching three new models with a mix of entry-level and mid-range features… plus a ton of customization options.
The Alcatel Pop 4, Pop 4+ and Pop 4S are available with a range of covers featuring different colors and textures. There are 5 inch and 5.5 inch models, and based on the spec sheets, I suspect some models will be more affordable than others.
Each phone will ship with Android 6.0 software.
