Today, at the start of CES 2019, TCL Communication is officially unveiling the company’s newest Alcatel 1 Series smartphones. The Alcatel 1X (2019) and Alcatel 1C (2019) continue the Alcatel mobile brand vision of bringing modern smartphone features and making them accessible to consumers around the world.
With new designs, features and software experiences, these all-new 2019 Alcatel 1 Series smartphones include the TCL-made Full View Display and are helping redefine the entry-level smartphone experience.
“We’ve always believed that quality devices with the latest technology should be accessible to all, regardless of your budget,” said Peter Lee, General Manager of Global Sales and Marketing at TCL Communication. “We’re proud that we’ve remained true to this commitment to our customers, and the all-new Alcatel 1X and 1C prove that having a modern smartphone doesn’t have to be determined solely by what you can spend.”
The Alcatel 1X (2019) provides one of the most immersive smartphone viewing experiences in the entry segment thanks to a 5.5” (18:9) HD+ IPS Full View Display. This is combined with two all-new organic finishes, Pebble Black and Pebble Blue, that provide a textured feel that is scratch and slip resistant. It will also come with a built-in fingerprint sensor (in select markets) and the company’s Face Key technology, which offers additional facial recognition security that enables you to easily unlock your device by simply glancing at the screen. Face Key breaks down each facial scan into over a hundred data points to ensure a more reliable match.
