Alcatel quietly intros the U5 HD smartphone

Alcatel has just introduced a new budget handset. This smartphone is expected to hit the market this fall and is called Alcatel U5 HD. Closely related to the Alcatel U5, the U5 HD comes with just a few improvements over its predecessor.

The processor, memory, and storage space did not suffer any changes, so the Alcatel U5 HD features a MediaTek MT6737 chip, 1 GB RAM, and 8 GB internal storage, supplemented by up to 32 GB via a microSD card slot. The 5-inch IPS touchscreen offers 1,280 x 720 pixels. There is also a 5 MP front camera. The main image shooter provides 8 MP. The battery has 2,200 mAh and the operating system installed is Android Nougat.

According to the official product page, the only color choices are white and black. This handset is expected to surface at this year's IFA trade show, so we will probably get back to it soon.
