Alcatel One Touch has announced a new smartphone line ahead of this week’s International CES that will allow carriers to purchase the devices with the operating system of their choice without having to worry about hardware customization. The Pixi 3 series will be a series of low-cost smartphones in multiple sizes that will allow for shipping with Android, Windows Phone 8.1 and even Firefox OS. The series will be available in four different screen sizes (3.5, 4.0, 4.5, and 5.0 inches) and will also support 3G and LTE 4G for many regions around the world. More information is expected later this week during CES
In related news, Alcatel has announced its new Watch series line of smart watches. According to Alcatel, the Watch Series is packed with sensors and apps that can monitor daily activities. It connects to Android devices and can be used to control music, take photos, and receive notifications. Alcatel has yet to confirm the platform that the watch runs on or pricing details, with that information also expected at CES.
