Linas, 29 Jul 2016Alcatel 4 or nexus 5x 32gb?I skkipped Nexus 5x for Idol 4, as Idol 4 have dual sim support. But turned out, that Idol 4 had serious network and dual sim problems I returned Idol 4. As Nexus 2016 is coming soon, I will wait for it.

AnonD-564170, 27 Jul 2016From what i've gathered from forums and comments, it feels ... moreAbout updates, at least I got one (July) security update. About network problems, they exists. Also users in Russian forum are complaining. Quote from there
( http://4pda.ru/forum/index.php?showtopic=750083&view=findpost&p=51524300 ) with help of Google translate:
"The reception quality is 20 percent less than in all my previous smart phones and smart phones, which are now owned by relatives and colleagues. :( If there are places where the antenna at all shows the 3G reception 2-3 sticks, then dumped in Alcatel 2G. And even in an apartment where I had never seen anything to me at full 3G antenna was not filled now shows half of the antenna and also can switch to 2G."
I also got replacement, same problem and the replacement had much worst display tone (kind of green and dark).
Phone heats, but they all do. Idol 4 uses front led also for notification led, so it's only white and too bright. Also Dual SIM is somehow "locked" for any third party app (tested with many and also one app developer tried all the tricks without any success), so forget any kind automatic SIM selection based contacts or groups, as it's not allowed by Idol. It's very annoying.
Front sound, ear speakers and loudspeakers are same, quality it's good for them who listen music, but it's bad for phone calls, as sound contains too much low frequencies, and if I increase volume to hear better, then also everybody near me hears everything.
Boot loader is locked. No root available. Matrix Flip Case is not included. VR is pointless for me, I'd better get it without VR (available in Russia).
So it's good phone to watch movies and listen music, but overpriced and mainly due network problems (I don't think it's software, but rather hardware issue) I return mine and wait for new Nexus or some alternative, 5-5,2" Qualcomm powered phone. Sadly, the selection is almost none.

The reason i buyed idol 4 is that a had an idol3 for an year and i loved it.i don't choose my phone by it's name or brand...i just like phones with many interesting features...i'll never downgrade to a phone with only mono sound because is huge defference.i like slim and beaitifull design..that reversible feature is very very usefull and cool...and that boomkey who allows u to take photos in standby mode is the big + in idol4...there are some features cool and hot that any phone should have them....it's very easy for me to make my phones to run the way i want whitout root
There are many phones whith good performance in this price tag,but they are only simple borring phones

From what i've gathered from forums and comments, it feels that Nexus 5X is better choice than Idol 4, i am still not fully sure which one i am getting, but no fingerprint sensor, no gorilla glass (it has dragontrail, but i heard it is less scratch resistant glass), lazy updates from Alcatel (as i've heard from comments about their previous phone, it might not be true for this), worse processor (i am not fully sure of it, but it seems like 617 is not really good from the comments), worse network sensitivity (at least what Vau said below in his comment got me worried, it might no be the case for others though), no 4G+ (if i am correct, so no higher network speeds where it is available) .
On the other hand, Alcatel has fantastic audio quality, better build quality, better cameras. Probably a better choice for a multimedia phone, but i am not so sure about it anymore since what i am searching is a fast phone with a good performance for normal daily use (even if good audio is a big plus), which is not going to be abandoned by developer after the launch.

AnonD-564961, 26 Jul 2016Redmi Note 3, for a smaller phone I recommend the Nexus 5X.... moreNo, I'm not gonna buy 4s, I'm buying idol 4 (299€). I viewed Nexus 5x also, it's good phone, but front facing camera not so good as alcatel 4 + it has LED.Also alcatel 4 have many camera modes, and with VR. In Nexus 5x there's no sd card slot, which is pretty bad. One thing that separates it is the processor . Alcatel 4 wins in all cases excluding processor and fingerprint. Plus it has VR&JBL including AND best sound quality, boom key.
