Alcatel, in your enthusiasm to drive yourself up into tech’s big leagues, be wary of setting precedents you can’t sustain. Supplying your new Idol phone in packaging that doubles as a VR headset, for example. It’s neat, and futuristic, and good value. But what will you do next? As Android devices, the Idol series work with Android Auto. Will next year’s phone come in a box, then, that doubles as a car? If it does, you can process our Idol 5S preorder right now. Crazy packaging aside, we’re liking what we see here – classy metal and glass construction, with neat extra features like reversible design and four speakers. Just be careful, hmm, Alcatel?
As hot as… a box that turns into another phone from €280 / alcatelonetouch.eu
Shouty design…
