              All manufacturers should stop making 512mb ram phones,
              512mb is to likely to lag for sure with all those bloatwares installed.
              All android should be standard 1GB ram now.

                        AnonD-309, 30 Aug 2013I hate Alctel, they will never ever Update any phone at all... moreTCL main business is LCD TV production. Mobile phones are secondary. They are small mobile phones manufacturers and unpopular in PRC, and their service is mostly hated in PRC.

                          I hate Alctel, they will never ever Update any phone at all, if your phone is ICS , it will remain ICS . They have never upgraded a single phone one OS version to Another

                            x2, 30 Aug 2013And what did I write? Alcatel is just TCL Corps's brand... moreYour comment was lame/kiddy, it had to be corrected.

                            Now the news was about 2 new handsets, you already hijacked it with your "knowledge". You could just have said, Alcatel aka international division of TCL which is kept for strategical purposes.

                            TCL isn't ready to expose its own brand on international market, that's why they keep selling under Alcatel's brand to get more sales.
