Official Philippine pricing of Alcatel Flash Plus announced, to become available on May 1

For those who are waiting and eager to get their hands on Alcatel's latest smartphone, then this one is for you.

Recently, they announced that the official pricing for their Flash Plus smartphone starts at Php. 6990.00, for those who are wondering, this phone is a MONSTER and for that price, you're getting a large HD display, powered by MediaTek's latest 64-bit octa-core platform coupled with a sizable amount of RAM at 2GB.  It also packs a rather large amount of battery to get you through the day. Here are the list of specifications for you to start with :

ALCATEL ONETOUCH FLASH PLUS

- 5.5" HD (720x1280) IPS LCD display, ~267 ppi
- MediaTek MT6752 64-bit chipset (1.5Ghz octa-core ARM Cortex A53 and Mali T768MP2 GPU)
- 2GB RAM
- 16GB internal storage, expandable up to 32GB via microSD
- 13MP AF BSI rear camera w/LED flash
- 8MP AF front-facing camera
- GSM/HSPA/LTE
- Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 4.0, GPS w/A-GPS
- Android 5.x Lollipop
- 147g, 8mm thin

I can safely say that this phone can go head to head with Meizu M1 Note that causes more than a thousand and the more expensive Zenfone 2 (5-inch variant). I think it is also the cheapest smartphone available in our country bearing MediaTek MT6752 chipset.

For those who are excited, kindly prepare your pockets because this phone will become available starting on the first day of May. So you have more than two weeks left if you're planning to get one.
