Alcatel has built a reputation for delivering reliable and affordable devices. At this year’s Mobile World Congress (MWC), the standout announcement was the innovative Alcatel A5 LED, marking the brand’s venture into modular smartphone design. Building on this momentum, Alcatel appears poised to release its upcoming device, the Alcatel Idol 5S, previously rumored to debut at the MWC. Recent sightings of the device on GFXBench and GeekBench indicate that its launch is imminent.

Now revealing the anticipated specifications of the Alcatel Idol 5S, it boasts a 5.2-inch Full HD display with a crisp resolution of 1920 x 1080p.
