A brand new Alcatel has just arrived at GFXBench, a new mid-ranger device; the Alcatel Idol 5. Serves as a follow-up to last year's Alcatel Idol 4, specs might be identical for both devices but this new Alcatel will be worthy of hitting markets.
According to GSM Arena, Alcatel Idol 5 is powered by one of Qualcomm's Snapdragon octa-core processors clocked at 2.0GHz, coupled with an Adreno 506 GPU; hinting at a Snapdragon setup. This device will sport a 3GB of RAM and 32GB on internal storage and packed in behind a multi-touch 5.2-inch fullHD screen. For its camera specs, it will be equipped with an 8MP shooter and flipping to the back reveals a 12MP main camera that is 4K video capable. However, HDR photo capability is missing for this device; all other camera features from auto-focus to face detection are intact.
Alcatel Idol 5 also doesn't appear to support NFC but all the other sensors that are expected to be on a mid-level device including Bluetooth, accelerometer, GPS, light sensors, a proximity sensor, pedometer, gyro, and a compass. However, no battery information has been revealed as of now. Alcatel Idol 5 will be a pretty desirable smartphone when it finally drops for the middle market since it is also expected to be running Android 7.1.1 Nougat under the hood; with many great features that should entail.
According to The Mobile, Alcatel Idol 5 appears to differ most from the company's already benchmarked Idol 5s in the chipset department. The other Alcatel device is expected to come with a MediaTek Helio P20 processor, clocked at 1.69GHz in an octa-core arrangement. The Helio P20 is generally coupled with Mali-T880 MP2 graphics; minor set of differences will most likely lead to the Idol 5 and 5S being comparable to last year's Idol 4 and Idol 4S, in terms of what separates them from one another.
