Alcatel is making a comeback in India with a new lineup of smartphones under the V3 series. For those unfamiliar, the brand was active in the country in the late ’90s, known for its cordless mobile phones. After teasing the design last week, the company has now officially revealed the the Alcatel V3 series will launch in India on May 27th. This means there could be multiple models, including the Alcatel V3 Ultra with stylus support. The new Alcatel phones will be available via Flipkart, and a landing page for the same is live.
Alcatel V3 series India launch date
- The Alcatel V3 series will launch in India on May 27th at 12:00 pm IST. The launch event will most likely be livestreamed.
- The teaser image shared by the brand shows a large circular module on the back panel, and this appears to house triple camera sensors and an LED flash.
- The Flipkart listing shows the Alcatel V3 series will feature a centre-positioned punch-hole cutout for the selfie snapper.
- It looks like the Alcatel phones may come with a physical button in addition to a volume rocker and power button.
- The Alcatel V3 series is confirmed to feature dedicated display modes for tasks like reading, watching, scrolling and others.
- The Alcatel V3 Ultra model will arrive with stylus support, which will allow you to sketch, write, and highlight.
Alcatel V3 Ultra: what to expect
Not much else is revealed about the Alcatel V3 series at the moment, but there are speculations that the V3 Ultra could be a rebrand of the TCL 50 Pro NxtPaper. It features a NxtPaper Key, which is a two-stage slider that turns the display into monochrome Ink Mode. Enabling this will mute the notifications and is said to extend the battery life. This falls in line with Alcatel’s teaser, which claims “a brand-new display tech that’s easy on the eyes and big on impact”.
If it’s indeed a rebrand, the Alcatel V3 Ultra may come with a 6.8-inch display, a 108MP primary camera, MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset, 32MP front camera, and a 5,010mAh battery capacity.
