Does the guy who claims this phone is bad because TCL is a chinese company, who TCL is? Aparently he doesn't. TCL is one of the largest and more important electronics companies in the world. Working in ventures with Samsung, Alcatel and IKEA, just to mention a few. Do you think Alcatel, Samsung and IKEA would allow to "charge with old hardware" any of their products? Come on! One thing is "old hardware" and another is "affordable hardware". At this point of technological advance and market competition is stupid to think "the expensive is the best"...

      Alcatel is now a Chinese company, not French. The are charging twice as much as UMI but with old hardware.

                    Alcatel One Touch Idol Ultra Mega Super Bombastic? Any other hard to spell and harder to remember non-sense product name?
                    Alcatel Two would've been enough, HTC got One already.

                                50-70 apps, fill up 50% of the internel storage, gpu it's even worse than the Adreno 205

                                probably lag like a nightmare

                                      The GPU on the MTK6577 SoC is now standard on many Chinese phones, clones or originals alike
