I've been using this phone for a week now. Have to admit the design is superb with super slim bezel comparable to LG G2. Its the lightest, smallest for 6'inch device.

Battery wise, non-stop using I can easily get between 7.5 - 8.5 hours of Screen On Time. However during standby mode, the SOT will be around 5.5 hours. For comparison, on Fonepad Note 6 I can only get around 4 - 5 hours of SOT, max.
Alcatel still needs to work on the standby mode.

Stock launcher is smooth, but when I tried using Next Launcher 3D it really lags, downside of Mediatek Chip. Even Fonepad Note 6 with Intel Chipset can handle Next Launcher smoothly. Im starting to like the stock launcher now due to transparent notification, makes the bezel looks even thinner.

Conclusion, very happy with the slim design and long-lasting battery. On working days it will easily go on 2-3 days without charging. So far it never lags cuz I just use it for light gaming and moviesss, although Mediatek, but still a quadcore  wink.gif Most importantly, for the spec that I get, its damn cheap wei

I think those accessories are not available yet.

Anyway, I think Alcatel has done a good job to differentiate themselves in this crowded market of android smartphones. Pretty impressive for the price and comes with full 1080p screen.

Yes, quality feels pretty premium....like ori Samsung flip covers. On the whole, the Hero feels pretty well built with nice feel for the back cover and not slippery. Slim bezels make the phone more compact and easy to handle.

I like the LED flip cover which attaches to the back of the phone with magnet. It also makes the cover to stick when open or closed. Something which I don't find with other phones. Screen can also be turned on and off when flipping the screen to open or close.

Just seen a function to turn the phone on and off automatically. Might be useful if need to set alarm to wake up and I don't like to leave the phone on overnight.

The camera is unfortunately pretty disappointing for a 13 MP shooter. More like a 5 MP camera with fuzzy pics. Hope some firmware upgrade will come out to fix it.

Sound quality with headphones is OK.

Yes, Note 2's camera is way better than the Hero's....and I think even the Galaxy S2's is better ! I can't comment on Huawei cos haven't used one before.

played with the hero at lowyat ground floor today... first impression screen looks really good together with the ultra slim bezel.. but slightly wider and thinner means difficult for one hand operation in my opinion. stylus feels lousier than note 1, didnt test it out though..

I think you better stick with Note 2. You will be sorely disappointed with Hero's stylus.... mad.gif

Yup...it's terrible. Don't know why Alcatel bothered to include it. It can even write notes properly or scroll the screen smoothly. Luckily I don't use it much.
