| A5 LED different back covers with functionality |
The A5 LED is the top-specced one of this Alcatel bunch, but even so it won't be topping any benchmark charts with its MT6753 chip and 2 gigs of RAM. It's got a neat trick up its sleeve though - it's got an LED-equipped back cover.The 4x9 array of RGB LEDs is controlled by an app and can can be set up to light up for notifications, or just flicker one of a number of pre-set dynamic effects. It's an entire light show, not just a static on/off type of thing. Additionally, you can have the LEDs perform a show based on the music you're listening.
The LEDs are part of the back cover, and there are other interchangeable covers which bring different functionality.Think MotoMods, minus the magnets - the covers here rely on low tech, but positively reassuring plastic clips, quite like the back panels all phones used to have before everyone started sealing the batteries inside the body.
There is a battery pack cover adding precious milliamp hours to the 2,800mAh built-in capacity. It's got a push-button with a 3-LED charge indicator.
The other cover we got to see packs a speaker in an admittedly rather oddly shaped body but can pump out more decibels than a tiny in-phone speaker. It's also got a kickstand.There are also plain covers - just a panel to cover up the back.
The Alcatel A3 offers a higher-res camera and a fingerprint sensor on its back. It also looks pretty sleek, as long as you keep the display turned off. Light it up though - that's one huge black bezel.This handset is powered by a 1.25 GHz quad-core MT6737 processor. The RAM has also been increased slightly, with the A3 featuring 1.5GB of RAM as opposed to just 1GB of RAM on the U5. There is 16GB of onboard storage space with the option to add a microSD card for enhancing the storage capacity even further. The A3 boasts of a 13-megapixel camera at the rear and a 5-megapixel unit at the front. The phone also offers added security, thanks to the fingerprint sensor at the back.

The Alcatel U5 comes with 5-inch FWVGA (854x480p) display. It has got 1GB of RAM in it. Other specifications include 8GB of internal storage with micro SD card support. It has got 1.1GHz quad-core chipset of unknown make but we think it to be Snapdragon 210. On the rear side, we have got 5MP camera with LED Flash. On the front, we have 2MP camera.

The Alcatel PLUS 12 is a 2-in-1 tablet with a full HD display, a detachable keyboard with 4G LTE support. The tablet bit houses the more important stuff - the Intel Celeron N3350 processor, RAM and storage, and most of the battery. It can connect to Wi-Fi networks (ac included), but the LTE radios are in the keyboard dock, complete with some more battery and extra USB port. The whole thing weighs 10g short of a kilo.

There’s a 26.8 Wh/6900 mAh battery in the tablet, and support for 802.11ac WiFi and Bluetooth 4.2. And the tablet features a USB Type-C port, a fingerprint sensor, and a micro HDMI port and dual speakers.
The back sports a slick cross-hatched metallic finish and has dropped the mostly useless 5MP rear camera of its predecessor (the front-facing sensor is a 5MP unit).
The Alcatel Plus 12 comes with a detachable keyboard that features an LTE modem that not only lets the tablet get online when there’s no WiFi handy, but which also serves as a hotspot for connecting up to 15 devices to the internet.
The keyboard features a 1.2 GHz ARM Cortex-A7 processor, 128MB of RAM, 256MB of storage, and a 2,580 mAh battery, and it connects to the tablet via a 7-pin connector. There’s also a full-sized USB port in the keyboard base.
Alcatel is yet to announce the prices and the availability of all the new device.
