Alcatel V3 Ultra 5G will spearhead the brand's revival
The executive, who is also the head of HTech India (Honor's local partner), posted a photo on social media that reveals the name of the device along with the retail box of the phone.
According to the post, he was tasked with selecting the appropriate box, and he chose the Black with yellow accents that says "Born in France, now in India." Alcatel phones will be manufactured and sold by NxtCell, an Indian entity that holds the naming rights and aims to market the phones as '100% Made in India' products.
We can see that various shades of blue were also considered for the box colors, and on one of the other boxes, there is an image of a phone without a punch hole for the selfie camera. It's unclear if that just sits in the upper right corner or the Alcatel V3 Ultra 5G will have an under-display front camera. The selected box also confirms three cameras and an LED flash at the back.
Some Alcatel features that look suspiciously similar to TCL's NxtPaper technology
The official revealed that Padget Electronics, a subsidiary of Dixon Technologies, will serve as the official manufacturer for NxtCell India to produce smartphones for the Alcatel brand.
The V3 Ultra name raises expectations for Alcatel but also some important questions. The most obvious one is if the V1 and V2 series will also be released; we also can't help but wonder if the Ultra will be joined by Pro, Plus or standard variants.

Infinix Hot 60i 5G arrives with the Dimensity 6400 SoC and 6,000 mAh battery
Sagar, 16 August 2025 Infinix launched the Hot 60i 4G in July, and as promised, the brand today introduced the 5G model. The Infinix Hot 60i 5G is powered by the Dimensity 6400 SoC, runs Android 15-based XOS 15.1, and has 4GB RAM and 128GB of storage onboard, which is expandable by up to 2TB via a microSD card. The Infinix Hot 60i 5G features a 6.75" 120Hz HD+ LCD on the front with 670 nits of peak brightness; however, it has a notch for the selfie camera instead of the punch hole we have on the Hot 60i 4G's screen. The selfie camera's resolution has also been downgraded from 8MP to 5MP. Around the back is a dual camera setup, headlined by a 50MP camera. Infinix didn't mention what the second camera does, but it's probably an auxiliary unit. The Infinix Hot 60i 5G is fueled by a 6,000 mAh battery, which is 840 mAh larger than what its 4G counterpart comes with. The charging speed is significantly reduced from 45W to 18W, though. But for what it's worth, you get 10W of reverse wired charging. The rest of the Infinix Hot 60i 5G's highlights include Infinix AI, a dedicated microSD card slot, an IP64 rating, an IR blaster, and a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. Infinix Hot 60i 5G's color options The Infinix Hot 60i 5G comes in Shadow Blue, Sleek Black, Monsoon Green, and Plum Red colors. It's priced at INR9,299 ($105/€90) and is already available in India through Infinix's official website. It will also be sold through retail stores and Flipkart starting August 21.
