Today, Alcatel announced the IDOL 4S with Windows 10 smartphone, featuring flagship mobile specs, an in-box VR experience and Windows 10 capabilities. The IDOL 4S will be available at T-Mobile stores starting next week.
The IDOL 4S with Windows 10 is built for professionals, gamers and general tech enthusiasts alike. It comes with a dual-glass and metal-framed design and productivity features such as Continuum, which puts PC-like productivity right in your pocket.
