what happened to the hero n3?? any news about price tag and stuff that comes in the box with the phone (such as LED and e-ink covers, secondary little white phone, stylus pen. and…?)?? i was really interested in getting one .
actually i couldnt find any reliable review about it on youtube.
Andi do u have any news about Hero n3?
It is called tcl hero, or alcatel one touch hero for rest of the world
No, It is called TCL idol X+, You can see here: http://www.bicgate.com/tcl-idol-x-mtk6592-octa-core-android-4-2-smartphone-5-0-inch-fhd-screen-2gb-16gb.html
it’s widely sold on aliex, everything except e-ink covers i saw there.
i bet it will be updated too.
i would prefer if they would make a new idolx a bit thicker, but with bigger battery. for now the idol lasts about 14 hours for me, it’s a bit uncomfortable that sometimes it fails on me before i reach home.
resellers prices are too high!!
I wish they’d sooner announce an 8-core variant of the Worldwide version of TCL N3 (a.k.a. Alcatel One Touch Hero), as that’s gonna be my phone in a few months – wouldn’t mind 2.0GHz on that for an extra 100$!
