Alcatel just announced its all-new OneTouch Idol X+ with an octa-core chipset from MediaTek serving as the highlight of the phone. Building upon the legacy of the Idol line, the X+ features the same kind of sleek design, with its profile measuring in at just 7.9mm. Packed within is a gorgeous 5-inch 1080x1920 pixel resolution display, good for 441 pixels per inch, along with a 13.1-megapixel F/2.0 rear snapper – both likely the same units found on the original Idol X. Alcatel has improved upon a number of internals, however, including the 2GHz eight-core MediaTek MT6592 chipset. Built onto a 28nm HPM process, this is actually the highest bin of the new chip – Alcatel's rivals are stuck with the slightly less powerful 1.7GHz version of the MT6592. Doing the graphical musclework is a quad-core ARM Mali450 GPU, clocked at the whopping 700MHz. Apart from the greatly improved processing prowess of the Idol X+, Alcatel has seen fit to throw a bigger, 2500mAh cell, Hi-Fi speakers and the same, spacious 2GB of RAM into this well-balanced package.
