Looking for a phone with Windows 10 Mobile? The Alcatel Idol 4 Pro arrives in Europe

We have already commented on several occasions the difficulty they have to get hold of a terminal with Windows 10 Mobile those interested in trying out the current platform Microsoft mobile. And we say current since it seems that in 2018 we are going to have interesting changes in this regard.
The truth is that the terminals do not shine due to their abundance, so the illusion when we found out about the Alcatel Idol 4 Pro turned into disappointment when we learned that it was not going to reach Europe because would be exclusive in the United States of the operator T-MobileBut where I said I say... and so we already anticipated at the time that Alcatel changed its attitude. It would reach Europe, something that is already closer since the phone can already be reserved in Germany.
A phone that was more than interesting at the time and although some time has passed, it is still a striking option to try Windows 10 Mobile, since it still has a good posterand why deny it, because there aren't many other options.
The Alcatel terminal is late, as it has 2016 specifications but with a price similar to other high-end ones on the market with better numbers. And The best thing before continuing is to remember its specifications in case you have forgotten them.

2016 Specs at 2017 Price
A decent 21-megapixel camera, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 820 processor or a 5.5-inch Full HD resolution screen are its main credentials to gain a foothold in the market. Oh, and let's not forget the support for working with Virtual Reality But what about the price?
Apparently it will arrive with a price close to 610 euros with shipments that will begin on July 6. And of course, here we already have a first stumbling block. More than 600 euros for a phone that is almost a year old and that to top it off has already been removed from the T-Mobile catalog in the United States, a country where its price has also dropped significantly and where we can find it for about $275 .
It remains to be seen if Alcatel manages to convince a buyer with that price to get their phone. A price at which right now, we have to be serious, we can find better alternatives even if they are changing platforms.
