The Alcatel Idol 4S has been officially announced. When does it arrive in Europe?

We have talked many times about the Alcatel Idol 4S (formerly Alcatel Idol Pro 4) and it has finally come true. The problem, as had already been suspected, is that only friends of the United States will be able to get hold of it and within the country of stars and stripes only T-Mobile company users.

Alcatel Idol 4S has already been made official in the US market. And the phone does not arrive alone, but as we already announced, it does so in a pack that also includes virtual reality glassesA decision that also only makes our teeth long.

The reason is more than clear. The Alcatel Idol 4S is a very good terminal, at least if we stick to the specifications we already know. A phone that can fight face to face with the top of the range of Windows 10 Mobile and even with the most powerful Android and the iPhone range.

Numbers that place it at a very good level

With all this it is not bad to remember its characteristics, some numbers that we have already seen and that have nothing to envy to what for now is the most desired terminal under Windows 10 Mobile, the HP Elite X3.

And having said all this, what happens, for example, with Europe, Latin America and other countries? Will we one day see the Alcatel Idol 4S within our borders for acquisition? For now no news about it not even on the Windows blog, which has announced the addition of this new member to the Windows 10 Mobile family.

For now everything seems to indicate that in the rest of the countries we are going to have to keep waiting, and this despite the scarcity of terminals that Windows 10 Mobile has in the market. A somewhat absurd situation not to carry out a launch on a larger scale or at least encourage it when what in theory is wanted is to revitalize a platform that for many is already mortally wounded.

For now you can only buy the Alcatel Idol 4S in the United States under the baton of T-Mobile at a price of 470 dollars , a quite attractive figure if we compare it with other proposals on the market.From Alcatel they also give away, as we have already mentioned, the virtual reality glasses and as accessories a 45-day trial of Hulu Plus, 30 days of Groove Music and a copy of Halo: Spartan Assault.

November 10 is the date set to be able to get hold of an Alcatel Idol 4S in the United States and we hope well from Alcatel or from Microsoft reconsider this decision soon and be encouraged to launch it in other markets.
