The Alcatel One Touch Idol X+ is rumoured to be coming soon with MediaTek's octa-core MT6592 processor and chipset. Other tech specs and features are equally high-end including a 5-inch Full HD display, 2GB of RAM and a 13MP rear camera. However, new rumours have just come up showing a teaser of the upcoming smartphone with silhouettes of a bracelet and smartwatch along with a rather cryptic title of "1+1>2?". The smartwatch silhouette definitely looks like the Samsung Galaxy Gear, right down to the camera located on the smartwatch strap but we're not so sure what the other device is. While it could mean a completely new Alcatel smartwatch and smart bracelet this seems a lot more likely than the Alcatel Idol X+ being compatible with the Samsung Galaxy Gear smartwatch. No specific Malaysia release dates or pricing were available but earlier Alcatel One Touch Idol X prices indicate that we could be a fairly affordable Alcatel One Touch iDol X+ when it is released.
