This phone is basically a spin off the Idol 3 and most of the parts are somewhat identical , like its "idol" the 3C has a 5.5" IPS display which is still a 1080p one , the same Snapdragon 615 is also brought forward and so is the almost identical amount of RAM - 2GB . The phone has a 13MP rear camera and a 8MP front module which are also found on the Idol 3 as well .The only difference between the two are chassis designs as the new model features a more funky colored polycarbonate design which is set to appeal to younger buyers .Apart from the subtle chassis change , the Idol 3C is internally same as its more expensive counterpart and therefore you might be looking at a below $250 price for this device . (Alcatel is set to announce official pricing and availability details soon ).
