The Microsoft Store can save you $301 or a whopping 64% on the Windows 10 Mobile powered unlocked Alcatel Idol 4S. Normally priced at $470, you'll be paying just $169 for the handset. Shipping, by the way, is free. Unfortunately, we don't know how long this deal is good for. Before we continue, we should point out that there is some difference in the specs between this Windows 10 Mobile handset and the variant that runs on Android.

For example, the 5.5-inch AMOLED display on the Android version of the Idol 4S offers a resolution of 1440 x 2560 (QHD) versus the 1080 x 1920 resolution on the Windows 10 Mobile unit. The latter features the Snapdragon 820 chipset under the hood, carrying an octa-core 2.15GHz CPU and the Adreno 530 GPU. 4GB of RAM is inside along with 64GB of expandable native storage. Those that need additional storage can access the 512GB capacity microSD slot.

The 21MP rear-facing camera offers PDAF, while the 8MP front-facing selfie snapper shoots wide-angle shots. Keeping the lights on is a 3000mAh battery, and a fingerprint scanner adorns the back of the handset.

At $169, the Windows 10 Mobile version of the Alcatel Idol 4S is a great gift for the holidays, and is also a good first smartphone for the kids. If interested, tap on the sourcelink below.
