Comparison and Conclusion:

As the device runs on Android 4.2 Jelly Bean it will be a strong weapon in the armory that could be felt extremely quick and responsive on the Idol. The 1.5GHz Quad core processor will be an additional boast up for the device. This could be a good competition for SONY Xperia Z which is getting launched on 28th Feb, The features looks very much same for this two device including the 5 inch screen, 1.5 GHz quad-core processor and 13MP camera.The other device that could face a strong competition from this device is Iphone 5 and Lumia 920. The phone will also be coming with many colors like Nokia and hence could attract more buyers of Nokia. The only thing we are negative on this phone is its battery power. The Alcatel could have improved it bit further still the competition will be good. It will be soon to bet on any one of this device as the price and availability of One Touch Idol X is yet to be declared.
