14 DAY TRIAL // The Alcatel IDOL 4S is one of the latest Windows 10 Mobile devices, and after hitting the shelves as a T-Mobile exclusive, the phone can now be purchased unlocked from Amazon as well.
The unlocked version of the IDOL 4S can be yours right now for $449, which is almost the launch price at T-Mobile, but still bringing you the full package, which also includes a VR headset.
The IDOL 4S is the first Windows 10 Mobile launching with a VR headset, so it goes without saying that for Windows Phone fans, this is quite an occasion to experience this new dimension of the operating system with a high-quality device.
The Alcatel IDOL 4S runs Windows 10 Mobile and comes with a 5.5-inch AMOLED display that looks stunning and has a resolution of 1080x1920. The phone is powered by a Snapdragon 820 processor (which is the best you can get on a mobile phone right now until the debut of the Samsung Galaxy S8 with a Snapdragon 835) and features 4GB RAM and 64GB of storage.
Additionally, you also get a pretty capable 21-megapixel camera with a dual-LED flash, but also an 8-megapixel front unit with 1080p support for video calls and selfies.
Windows phone losing ground
The Alcatel IDOL 4S is undoubtedly one of the best Windows 10 Mobile devices on the market right now, and its arrival on Amazon makes it available to many more buyers, although statistics have shown that the market share of Windows phones is dropping at a fast pace.
Approximately 0.3 percent of the phones sold the last quarter were Windows phones, analyst firm Gartner said, and the collapse is expected to continue in the coming months due to the lack of apps and developers to support the platform.
If you’re on T-Mobile, you can always benefit from the discount that they are offering these days and buy the Alcatel IDOL 4S for just $288.
