Hi this is raj Kumar…………………..
Worked as Head of Department Electronics
Let us begin with Negatives and move to positives
1. It is not manufactured by Alcatel , TCT mobile limited manufactured it ………………………..Go to Setting ->Regulatory and Safety you will notice Name of Manufacturer but Branded as Alcatel Idol X+ …search in Web you will notice TCT idol X+ model is availabl.
2. No memory Card……..each photo in superfine mode occupies 4.4MB ….if we record FHD for few minutes it occupies Gigabytes of memory.in near future data related to Whatsapp, Hike facebook etc etc needs more memory (photos & postings)
3. Non removable battery is big minus…it Stuck with software issue we have to wait until battery drain
4. Heating issue is general if we use it intensively we will notice in Ocotcores almost all brands
5. Camera is low light is noisy……………….
6. SAR value is also considered it is almost 1.46 W/Kg and 1.17 W/Kg for Body and Head respectively
So No more longest conversation use wired headset instead.
7. No flip Cover and Screen guard available but Samsung Note screen guard will work if you will try.
8. Service network only in metros………it is big minus….
Positives:
1. Direct Head to Head competition with Samsung S4 (its challenge to S4) , Sony Xperia Z1 and LG G2…but cannot beat in many areas when concerned to Sony and LG (consider price point you will regret it)….it surpasses in various benchmarks
2. An tutu benchmark scores 29k to 30k range is deal breaker than S4
3. Some People Saying its rejected processor not better than snapdragon 800 and better than 400 and 600 processors…..but It does Decent Job in day to day Task no issues….
4. FHD and bright display Screen….. Phone is designed well to hold it with one Hand
5. Slim Phone (8.1mm)
6. PRICE IS BIG FACTOR TO BUY THIS
7. Lots of RAM only 500MB used and 1.4GB left for other applications ( Disable CPU power saving mode to see its full performance)
8. Fast Downloads and Better signal Strength…..WIFI in my test can showed me it can stream 54mb/sec but some claims more than this.
9. Good charging time…..and Decent battery life too…………
10. 13Mp camera is ok but not the best use third party Camera apps
11. Stock video and audio players are waste…..download MXPLAYER and POWERAMP for video and audio solutions ( HIFI mode is superb true performance with JBL)
12. Boom band …….no one can use it….but few enthusiasts may try it…..it’s good one for you……
Moreover we are investing only 16999 only…….don’t compare with other brands please……Go for it…it is a good dealbreaker………

Thank God I bought this and cancelled my earlier decision to go for an LG G2 Pro. I was put off by the price of that one so I was actually about to buy a Panasonic P81. This BTW will be the 5th android I've purchased for my family. After Moto Defy, 2 Xpeias, one Samsung Note-2 and finally this..
Alcatel's build quality and camera are very good. The battery lasts more than a day. Thank God I didn't blow up my money on things that would have cost me twice and worked just about as well. This is better than Note 2 and S4. Mediatek is nobody's poor cousin and I don't miss having a pricey Snapdragon!

You can open the back cover like any other phone. Its a little bit slower and harder. But there is no point of doing so, the battery is wired in as far as I can tell so its not an easy swap. IT IS NOT SEALED. You will break no stickers or glues while doing so.

Very good smartphone . Nice and optimized design and features that never let us down in any situation. who cares for more . Sabre ESS 9018 dac inside this phone truly delivers some amazing high fidelity audio. Display is too good. otg support. Form factor looks like a cross breed between iphone and samsung s4. Processor is quite fast. Waiting for kitkat upgrade. At this price point its a steal or snap it.
