Alcatel is reportedly going to launch five new smartphones and one of those smartphones could be a modular device much like theLG G5. The company recently sent out invites to the press for its MWC 2017 press conference and the invite does hint at a modular smartphone that could be launched.
The invite sent out by Alcatel features the tagline that reads “Light Up.” The invite also shows an image of what appears to be the rear of a smartphone covered in brightly coloured LEDs. On carefully analyzing the image it does suggest that one or even all of the handsets could come with a modular design and colourful LED panel.
Reports have further revealed that this colourful LED panel or the lighting up mod could be beat-responsive and sync with music in a manner similar to the JBL Pulse. The company’s first modular device is expected to be powered by a MediaTek processor.
The smartphone is also tipped to be priced around €320 at the time of launch. TCL, Alcatel’s parent company will also showcase BlackBerry-branded Mercury with QWERTY keyboard at MWC. It will be interesting to see whether Alcatel continues to launch Windows 10 Mobile device or goes with an all Android lineup.
