Alcatel has been around for a while, failing to make an impact in the western world, but the company has turned into another direction, recently with some good devices that share a common feature, their affordable price point. Alcatel gets a lot of things right with the One Touch Hero. Currently you will get this device for US $547.99 on eBay.

A pixel density of 367 ppi and a IPS LCD screen, so the color reproduction is accurate and still have great viewing angles. The Alcatel One Touch Hero has a slight blueish tint to it, which might or might not be a problem for some people. Regardless of the color temperature, this display is very good looking, and easily holds its own even when compared to high end devices.
Under the Alcatel One Touch Hero is a quad core MediaTek Mediatek MT6589 processor clocked at 1.5GHz, coupled with the PowerVR SGX544 GPU and 2GB of RAM. The MediaTek processor does have its issues with keeping the OS smooth, you will occasionally see some stutters even while just flipping through the homescreens. This applies to multi-tasking as well. It’s far from unusable, and might not even be that noticeable depending on what you use the phone for, but if you have used a device with the latest Snapdragon 800 and 801 processors, the difference is obvious. You get 16GB of internal storage, which is further expandable via microSD card. When it comes to using mobile network, you don't get LTE but standard connectivity options are included; the Alcatel One Touch Hero packs a large 3,400 mAh unit.
The One Touch Hero is running Android 4.2.2 Jelly Bean, but it’s a heavily modified version of the software. It closely resembles Touchwiz in the way the home screen, the app drawer, and the transitions work, and you also get some similar features. The lock screen allows for quick access to the camera, phone, and messages, but you can change the apps that are accessible. It even has its own app store with around 20 applications.
The Alcatel One Touch Hero comes with a few extra features such as: Dual SIM slots, a stylus, and the Magic Flip Cover. The Alcatel One Touch Hero comes with slots for two microSIM cards and the software works really well, allowing you to easily switch between the two SIM cards and manage each card independently. An interesting addition on the phone is the Magic Flip Cover that comes included with the smartphone, there is port at the back, which this Flip Cover is connected to. The flip cover protects the display from scratches and accidental drops, it also works as a smart cover, that turns the display on and off when you open and close it. The Magic Flip Cover has LEDs built into the case, which will show you your notifications. The One Touch Hero offers is a stylus that is housed at the back of the device and easily slides in and out and locks into place.
As we all know smartphones cameras are getting better and better. The phone comes with a 13 megapixel camera. The software on the camera is basic, and comes with: HDR, Panorama, Smile Detection, and Night and Sports modes. You get some advanced options as well, that allow you to control ISO levels, exposure compensation, resolution size, and more, which is great for the camera enthusiasts out there.
