JGV, 07 Sep 2017Dude, sometimes people are good with spending 1/3 the price... moreBut in India both HP Elite x3 and Alcatel Idol 4S Windows cost the same on eBay.in GEB. And Alcatel Idol 4S Windows supports only one mobile network provider, i.e, RCOM and RCOM has truly horrible service in India. HP Elite x3 supports all Indian LTE bands and works on RCOM as well as Idea, Airtel, Vodafone Supernet 4G.

Everytjing else is good - black glass back, with gold trim, the push side button which htc u11 was copied from, except the camera. The camera is not responsive to the touch. Not resppnsive to light either. Takes timeee to focus to light, dark or bright.

Jeff, 08 May 2017Meh.. This phone looks like a poor man's HP Elite x3.Actually, a smart man's x3. Just paid $199 unlocked from Microsoft Store. That leaves $400 to buy a few Canon ink cartridges.

JGV, 07 Sep 2017Dude, sometimes people are good with spending 1/3 the price... moreAbsolutely...I've come thru the Lumia 920, 1520, 640 and I can truly says this phone is fantastic. Great physical build quality, screen is awesome (and first phone I've had where fingerprints don't happen -- Asahi DragonTrail glass is a pleasant surprise). Speaking of fingers, the Hello print reader scored 10/10 on my first programmed print, and it was FAST -- secret is to have an Incipio case with raised edge around sensor as a reference point. I've seen some negative reviews but this phone has been flawless to the point that those bad reviews are totally suspect. This phone has the same guts as the x3 but at a fraction of the cost ($199 thru Microsoft Store). Windows Phone may be "dead" but I have every app I need and could ride this thing for years. Apple can continue robbing the faithful ($1199 are they crazy?), and Google will try to keep the hodge-podge of Android variants semi-secure (they haven't so far). This phone is wonderful, and Microsoft should be ashamed they started making uninspired junk and killed Nokia in the process.

I just activated the Idol 4s with Windows on Freedom Mobile in Canada, which uses an LTE not compatible with the phone, so I'm on 3G/4G and the speed is still great, about 10-11mbps according to testmy.net

The problem with Alcatel is that among Indian 4G bands it is compatible only with LTE Band 5 (850 Mhz), which is used only by RCom4G.
Alternatively you could've gone for the European variant of this phone called Alcatel Idol 4 Pro, that one has support for all Indian 4G bands.

Bought it in India via eBay GEB, the phone is excellent for just Rs 23K. My only compliant is the choice of network.
This phone works great with RCom4G, I can call, use 4G data, send SMS etc because the 4G, 3G and 2G bandwidths of RCom are perfectly supported by this phone but SIM cards from other service providers like Airtel, Idea, Vodafone just don't work because their bandwidths aren't supported by this phone.

Jeff, 08 May 2017Meh.. This phone looks like a poor man's HP Elite x3.Well at half the price it probably is, but only a fool would buy a phone primarily based on what it looks like. Nobody else cares what your phone looks like anyway.

Aadrian , 18 May 2017Not available in Europe sadly I really like this phone.I bought the unlocked version from eBay and got it imported to Canada, it cost me CDN$447.3 including transport and tax, which still makes it cheaper in price than my wife's CDN$499.99 ZTE Axon 7. So far it's working great with my Bell SIM.

Never expected such an excellent device from Alcatel that too at such low price. Seriously Alcatel surely outgunned the Lumia devices with this phone. Hands down the best Windows 10 Mobile device in the market.

I find it hard to believe since there are no CDMA bands on this phone. I eagerly await your response. I also can't believe that this phone happened to be unlocked as T-Mobile phones are all locked to their network. If you don't answer soon, I'll just try it. I have service on all 4 major US carriers.
