TCL’s first cinematic screen display smartphone is here in Malaysia! The company is known for manufacturing top-notch television in China has made its debut into the mobile industry with its latest smartphone, TCL PLEX.

PSA or Public Service Announcement time TechNavers, the 1st of April has long been considered April Fools and that seems to be a tradition with those in tech as well. Already we've got quite a few “interesting” announcements from Google and Alcatel, but checking through, they're probably fake news, so be careful what you believe in tech today.

Alcatel has announced the launch of the Alcatel 5v priced at RM898 for the 3GB RAM 32GB internal storage model and Alcatel 3L which is priced at RM498 for the 2GB RAM 16GB internal storage. Not only that, Alcatel has also launched the Alcatel 1 which is priced at RM298 for the 1GB RAM 8GB internal storage. However, do take note that the prices mentioned is valued before implementation of SST.

Looking to score a world's first, Alcatel have listed their Alcatel Flash smartphone featuring 8MP + 5MP dual front and 13MP + 13MP dual rear cameras, a deca-core (10 cores) MediaTek Helio X20 processor, 3GB RAM, 32GB storage, 5.5-inch full HD display with dragontrail glass, 3100 mAh body and a fingerprint sensor. Granted, the other tech specs don't really impress much but the 4 cameras on the phone do mean hardware based bokeh or portrait mode with blurred background selfies and rear shots for the Alcatel Flash (not to be confused with the Flash or Flash 2). No Malaysia release dates or pricing details yet but it could come to Malaysia eventually.

The folks at Tech2.hu have uncovered rumours that Alcatel will be bringing 5 new smartphones to MWC 2017 with one of them having a modular design. This isn't the first time a modular phone has appeared but the LG G5 and its friends didn't really sell very well, mainly due to the high price of each modular piece.

Your smartphone is dying too quickly while playing games (especially GPS-intensive ones like Pokemon Go)? Well, this new smartphone may just be the ticket for you. Alcatel is no stranger to this part of the world, and their latest smartphone is special to say the least – the Pixi 4 Plus Power packs a whopping 5000mAh battery inside the body.

The only true flagship-level device right now for the Windows 10 Phone will be the HP Elite X3, so it is great that the platform is getting another model to add to the lineup. Alcatel’s Idol 4 Pro is set to rock the admittedly small marketshare with its high-end specs and feature set – and now we have pictures too!

Announced at IFA 2016, the new Alcatel MoveTime Wifi is a device that is both a watch, and connects to your smartphone. It also connects to WiFi hotspots for data collection and notifications.

While everyone's excited about Samsung, Sony  and LG's big announcement today, Alcatel quietly “pop” three new low-mid range smartphones at Barcelona, the three devices are the Alcatel POP 4, POP 4+ and POP 4S. Here are the tech specs:-

Ahead of MWC 2016, Alcatel have revealed 3 devices, namely the Alcatel Idol 4, Alcatel Idol 4S and Alcatel Plus 10. The Idol 4 and 4S are both smartphones with metal frames and glass backs while the Plus 10 is a Windows 10 based 2-in-1 tablet with fairly feature-filled keyboard dock.

The hidden feature of the Idol smartphones is that the box the phones come in can transform into a virtual reality headset. No Malaysia release dates or pricing details but the Idol 4 is expected to be $280 (RM) while the 4S could go for $450 (RM). No price estimates for the Plus 10 but it is expected in June 2016.
