Alcatel releases another teaser for an upcoming smartphone
Honor India's Madhav Sheth is also in charge of the revival of the Alcatel brand, as we described yesterday. The brand will launch a bunch of new smartphones in the near future, one of which Sheth already teased - the V3 Ultra 5G. Now he's back with another teaser, this one much more mysterious. Clearly, it's a new smartphone, one that is imagined and built in India, and "made to move across borders, pockets and lives", Sheth says. We can't really tell if this is also the V3 Ultra 5G or another device - perhaps a 'vanilla' non-Ultra V3? Either way, it will have the NxtQuantum OS skin on top of Android, and that's how we know it's an Alcatel. Alcatel phones will be sold by NxtCell, an Indian company that has purchased the naming rights. They will be made by Padget Electronics, a subsidiary of Dixon Technologies. The Flipkart teaser above promises that it will be a stylish device. That's all we know about it so far, but at the rate the teasers are being released, we expect to find out a lot more in the coming days, so stay tuned.

Alcatel V3 Ultra 5G will spearhead the brand's revival
The Alcatel brand is returning to the smartphone market, and its first product launch is just around the corner. The phone called the Alcatel V3 Ultra 5G will mark the revival, confirmed Madhav Sheth, Founder of Alcatel India. 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. Source
