Alcatel will be launching the OneTouch Flash in India on October 20

It is becoming increasingly hard to keep tabs on Alcatel with its ongoing policy of mass-announcing carrier-tailored phones and constantly switching up specs and mixing models. But, from time to time, the OEM does put out a few phones that stand out in the crowd.

The OneTouch Flash 2 is a prime example. It was originally developer as a mid-range offer for a predominantly Asian market - Philippines, Thailand, Indonesia, Vietnam, Malaysia, and Singapore. But the interesting smartphone is now coming to India as well. The launch event will be held in a few days, on October 20 and invitations are already being distributed.

Besides being a tantalizing mid-range offer, with a 5-inch 720p IPS touchscreen, an octa-core MediaTek's MT6753 chipset and 2GB of RAM, the OneTouch Flash is also marketed as a camera-centric device. It is equipped with a 13 MP Samsung ISOCELL rear camera with phase detection autofocus, f/2.0 aperture, and a dual-tone dual-LED flash, as well as a 5 MP selfie cam with LED flash on the front. The main camera promises focus times as quick as 0.3 seconds.

Other specs include 16GB of onboard storage, expandable through microSD, dual-SIM functionality and LTE connectivity for both cards. The phone is powered by a 3,000 mAh battery and boots Android 5.1 Lollipop. The OneTouch Flash will be available exclusively on Flipkart in Volcanic Grey and Mica White color options. Pricing should be announced come October 20.
