Alcatel to expand Australian presence with new online store, premium devices

2016 will also see Alcatel flirting with higher-end devices and premium designs. This first of these is the X1, a 5-inch smartphone with aluminium chamfering and a glass front and back.

"[The Alcatel X1] has a premium look and feel, and the specs are quite high-end, but I guarantee you the price won't be quite as premium as some of our competitors," said Skontos.
