Alcatel is launching the V3 Ultra on May 27, and today we learned the event will see two more phones. The Ultra will share the stage with V3 Classic and V3 Pro – two 5G-enabled phones with 50 MP cameras and 5,200 mAh batteries.
The Ultra will be a rebadged TCL 50 Pro NxtPaper, and the other two are also part of the TCL portfolio – the Classic is the TCL 60, and the Pro is the TCL 60 SE NxtPaper.
Alcatel V3 Classic
Alcatel advertises the V3 Classic as “India’s First NxtVision Display,” which is how TCL and Alcatel brand their regular screens. The NxtPaper technology will appear on the V3 Pro, a 6.7″ LCD with up to a 120 Hz refresh rate.
The e-ink tech is the only major difference between the V3 Classic and V3 Pro – these phones will share the same 50 MP + 5 MP camera combo on the back and 8 MP selfie shooter, as well as the battery we already mentioned.
Alcatel V3 Pro
We should point out that while TCL 60 launched with 256 GB storage, it seems like V3 Classic will be a 128 GB device (expandable with a micro SD slot). We also know the V3 Pro will bring 8 GB RAM, but the storage remains unknown here.
These phones should be fairly affordable – the TCL 60 SE NxtPaper launched internationally for €189, which is about INR18,000. We have to wait until Tuesday to learn how Alcatel will adapt the prices for the Indian market.
