We will have to stop thinking about seeing the Alcatel Idol 4S on our streets because apparently it will not reach Europe

This release made us think, or perhaps it would be better to use the word dream, about their transoceanic leap and their arrival in Europe. We have few options to choose a _smartphone_ with Windows 10 Mobile, so the Alcatel Idol 4S could be an important starting point to refloat the situation.But our desire may remain just a dream.

A model that has raised great expectations not only because it is an interesting alternative to the HP Elite X3 and the Acer Liquid Jade, but also because It is also the first terminal that is thought and designed to interact with virtual reality."

The arrival of a new device to the Windows 10 Mobile system is always celebrated by users, and it is one of the most important points in order to increase the current market share. HP, Acer and Alcatel are some of the latest manufacturers to join, and Alcatel specifically with the first terminal that comes with the stamp of "focused on virtual reality." In summary… that we really wanted to get our hands on it and try it

We already knew that it was exclusive to the North American operator T-Mobile, but at the same time we were hopeful that it would make the leap to the old continent once a reasonable amount of time had passed.This doubt assailed many users who wanted to get hold of one, so much so that making use of social networks and accessing the official Alcatel accounts raised this doubt. When will the Alcatel Idol 4S arrive in Europe?

And the response obtained could not have been more cold and discouraging. If there was any breath of hope, from Alcatel they have finished quickly and have severed it. In the official Twitter account of Alcatel France, their pulse did not tremble to type that “this terminal is not intended for Europe“ Therefore we can forget about see it officially within our borders.

Dreaming of a last minute change

A jug of cold water that ends a good part of the hopes, but not with all, because it is not the first time that we see how a company changes its positionBoth the requests of potential clients, a growing demand or sales that (very good or very bad), are factors that can make the vane turn the other way and that the company, in this case Alcatel, change position.

We will have to wait for events, but the truth is that for now the news is not good and it doesn't look like they are going to change yes we stick to other precedents such as the Alcatel OneTouch Fierce XL that already came out with T-Mobile, an exclusive and about which nothing was known in other countries. Meanwhile and to finish and get our teeth long, we can review the specifications of this terminal in case one day we see it walk through our streets.
