Alcatel OneTouch Pop S family brings 4G LTE to the masses in sizes from small to phablet: Pop S3, S7 and S9

Alcatel has just unveiled its new OneTouch Pop S family of smartphones that bring 4G LTE support in an extremely affordable package. Up until now, devices with 4G LTE carried a price premium that could be pretty sizable, and with three new devices in different sizes Alcatel addresses that.

The new smartphones are the 4” Alcatel OneTouch Pop S3, the 5” Pop S7 and the 6” Pop S9. 4G connectivity with support for category 4 LTE networks is their common feature, and all else is different, so take a look.

The Pop S3 is a 4-inch smartphone with a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels (WVGA), and it features a 1.2GHz quad-core chip. It’s got a 5-megapixel rear camera and no front shooter, and it’s powered by a 2000mAh battery. It also comes in five vibrant color options.

The Pop S7 is a 5” phone with an IPS display and a resolution of 540 x 960 pixels (qHD), and it sports a 1.3GHz quad-core chip. It’s got a 5MP rear camera and a VGA front shooter, plus it runs on a 3000mAh battery.

The Pop S9 is a phablet sporting a gigantic 6” 720 x 1280-pixel HD IPS display, and it runs on a 1.2GHz quad-core chip. It’s got an 8-megapixel rear camera with LED flash and a 2-megapixel front shooter. The back cover seals a 3400mAh juicer.

The S3 and S9 come with Android 4.4 KitKat on board, while the S7 features 4.3 Jelly Bean. Sadly, Alcatel has not yet provided a release date or price for these new colorful Alcatel OneTouch Pop S series.
