Born in France, now in India. Now that's just a sad change, it's already clear they will produce basic phones with confusing spec sheets like every other Indian brand

    SnapG, 15 hours agoMy first phone was alcatel wayback 2005 hahahahaMy first alcatel one touch... yellow backlighting, green background, black pixels.
    Batteries were 3xAA in a casing.
    Times when there was Siemens, Alcatel and Nokia, European mobile producers.

      What's in Europe tho 😂
      Wish we had some flagship to roast...

        Its not revival if its only in India..

          This is budget Phone. Not excitement.

          LCD Display.

            "Born in France, now in India."

            Its like: designed in North Korea, manufactured in Pakistan.

              More info 😃

              - V3 Ultra is I believe a rebrand of the TCL 50 (Pro?) NXTPAPER 5G, but marketed as a """"French"""" phone. Some thought it's a rebrand of the new 60 XE NXTPAPER 5G but that's a US market model.
              - There's also the V3 Pro and V3 Classic, based off the TCL 60 (SE NXTPAPER?) 5G and TCL 60R 5G respectively. Maybe the Classic's name is a hint that the Pro is a NXTPAPER too?
              I wonder how they're going to market the Classic with like 4GB of RAM in India...

                I had an Alcatel phone back in 2002 when I lived in France. They were considered a bit rubbish compared to Nokia phones but were cheaper. Surprised to see them reborn.
