Forgot to mention. This phone can do native 3g video call. A plus for me because making video call using apps at my place is like a pain in the butt(3g signal come and go like a wind). Thats all for now.

Hi guys. Just got this phone today. One thing to say, So AWESOME. The battery is good even with just 2000mah to power the screen and quadcore. Screen is gorgeous and lit up perfectly. Viewing angle is excellent. I owned S4 and iphone 5, this phone can compete both in term of fluidity and performance( hopefully this phone will have long lasting components inside out).. One drawback though, the camera is below average compare to the above phones. The body and frame, o my god.. With titanium alloy and Soft polycarbonate, the feels is so premium and strong matching the iphone 5 estatic. Will give more review of this phone next time. Bye guys..

(Okay, granted, apparently another model number ('6040X'), according to another person here, but still). PS: I have 6040D.

I think I've found the reason: the model reviewed elsewhere has as Model Number "ALCATEL ONE TOUCH 6040X" while I have "ALCATEL ONE TOUCH 6040D". However firmware version, baseband version and kernel version are exactly the same.
As for why the two variants have different camera options (and quite important ones, I would say!), remains a mistery.

Same thing here: no "360 panorama", "Night", "Sports", "Shutter sound", "Advanced" (Picture Size/Timer/ISO/Exposure) camera options.

guys, about the app drawer thing. tcl had removed the app drawer in the android version that our idol x has. it is also confirmed by alcatel reps that i had contacted. if you really need the app drawer just download a 3rd party one. i had gotten used to not having a app drawer already :-)

And this is what I wrote there:
Hi, great review. Two questions:
1. 6:05: You bring up the app drawer by flicking up from the bottom of the screen: It doesn't work on my phone. Am I doing something wrong?
2. 11:10: How do you get those camera options "360 panorama", "Night", "Sports", "Shutter sound", "Advanced" (Picture Size/Timer/ISO/Exposure)?? I can't find any of those. I only have Flash on/off, HDR, Panorama, and Tap Shooting.
I have the same build number as in your video.

Hi guys,
I've been using the idol x for almost a month.
Just checked out the video review for the idol x...
I've two concerns after watching this, which idol x owners could share.
1. In the review, the guy pulls out a kinda app drawer by swiping from below the screen. This is not a possibility in my phone. Are anyone able to do this on their's
2. The camera settings shown in the video are a lot more than what it is originally. Does anyone else have such additional settings on their phones
Do i need to update or install any kinda patch to get these 2 features

After using the Idol X for exactly 1 month, I noticed 2 more minor shortcomings of the phone (apart from the relatively lean battery):
(i) when turned on silent mode, the vibration motor is quite weak, which means that you can easily miss any incoming call when the background noise is a bit high.
(ii) while the speaker phone feature is acceptable, the sound pressure level from the speaker is quite low even on full volume. The sound is a bit muted when you use the phone as an internet radio for area larger than 500 ft2.
These are just my personal opinions, other users might not be too concerned about them given the excellent quality per price ratio of this phone.
