Alcatel might not be the most exciting name in all the mobile lands, but their latest phone gives us reason to pay attention. It’s the Hero 2+, a 6-inch phablet that will find its way onto the market with the following specs:
- Display: 6-inch Full HD (1080 x 1920) TFT 16M color display + built in stylus
- Processor: MT6592 2.0 GHz octa-core ARM Cortex-A7 processor
- Camera: 13MP main camera + 5MP front camera for the perfect selfie
- Video Capture: Full HD 1080p 30 frame per second video capture so you never miss any of life’s moments
- Memory/Storage: 2GB RAM / 16GB of storage (Expandable to 32GB via MicroSD)
- Dimensions: 160.5mm x 81.6mm x 7.9mm
All of that hardware is used to run CyanogenMod 11S as this is the latest phone to launch with the grassroots ROM by default. Unfortunately 11S is a KitKat distribution, but we’re sure CyanogenMod 12 — the one with Lollipop — will be along shortly after release.
“We’ve joined forces with ALCATEL ONETOUCH to push the limits of what a great user experience looks like, beginning with their latest phablet for North America – HERO 2+,” said Vikram Natarajan, Senior Vice President of Global Partnerships and Distribution for Cyanogen. “Our partnership is reflective of our deep commitment to driving innovation and meaningful differentiation for users; with enhanced privacy and security features.”
The device is said to be a North American exclusive, and will be available from Alcatel’s Amazon store starting at $299. It ships Q2 2015 so there won’t be a long wait if you’re interested in something like this over, say, the OnePlus One.
