  Alcatel OneTouch Idol 2 Mini General Specifications:

  • 129 x 63.5 x 7.9 mm, 110 g
  • 4.5-inch IPS LCD, 540x960 pixels, 245 ppi

These new devices are targeting the users who are looking for mid-range devices and considering just by the specifications, design and build quality, we are guessing Alcatel could get a fair market share at the end of 2014.

Idol 2 will be available in April or May for about $274, while the LTE-enabled version gets a $342 price tag. The little brother, Idol 2 Mini, seems to be launching sooner than Idol 2 and you need to pay $232 for the 3G model and $287 for the LTE-enabled model.
