Alcatel Malaysia just announced this device today. I guess they put it as coming soon cuz waiting for the Magic Flip and other accessories to sell together. Most sellers now only have stock for Device only.
RRP at RM1399. Around the same with K900 and Fonepad Note 6.
So I think here we can get it for RM12++

very competative price

Apparently in Malaysia is only single sim.
Just got myself 1 touch hero yesterday. Its really value for money, but of course you can't expect much from Mediatek Processor. Coming from S800, then Intel Chipset, this is definitely at the bottom but i'm still enjoying it.

Free Bluetooth sidekick (vey compact and light!)
Magic Flip case (really magic and have magnetic features to cover whole screen rigidly, like those ipad cover)
Free KFC Voucher (although irrelevant, but you can get free snack plate with this voucher)
2 pin charger and standard accessories

what kind of accessories available?

got mine @rm1300, got extra normal flip cover, rather than kfc voucher, it true that a bit slow compare to s600/s800,but its tolerated. big and bright screen, magicflip and the bluetooth sidekick worth it, gotta get a 32gb micro sd card later then start using the phone to test the battery life. too bad it doesnt support my old 64gb.
*
have you try on 64G sd card?
some china phone said only can support up to 32G, but also can run at 64G

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

Accessories are standard, Bluetooth sidekick and Magicflip cover already inside the sealed box.

But casing and SP a little hard to find. And also the USB cable is like cheaplak china standard.

how about the wireless charger and ink cover?

btw the magicflip is sweat proof or not? might need it during exercise

thank you

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.

the quality of the flip cover good or not? how is the material look like?

thank you

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.

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.

ooh, hopefully will come out more case to protect this phone

heard that the sound quality is average right? ( by using headphone)

btw can share some opinion on the camera quality?

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.

the camera is much more worse compare to note2?
or huawei phone?

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.

Note 2 is perhaps better in every aspect compared to Hero except for design and battery life.

As for those cool accessories for Hero such as projector and e ink flip cover, no telling how good until those are released. Still prototypes.

screen hero better right?

Not much better bro...

Note 2's response also generally better and smoother.

Comparing the Hero with Samsung Galaxy Mega, the latter is still better too....not that I'm pro Samsung.

trade in my S3 at RM550 and got this Hero few days ago.
bought in lowyat one shop with RM1299, without the bluetooth sidekick phone.
Love the big screen and it's LED cover notification.
Battery life is good. can last about two days.
can't deny that the stylus is not so good with the screen.
but lucky i seldom use stylus.
Camera quality not so bad lah actually. It's all depends on the light condition around you. Big aperture, can capture well in low light condition, but with noise.
Just my simple review. sorry for my poor english.

bought this at rm1299:
phone + magic flip + one extra flip cover + sidekick + charger + micro usb cable

the 6" fullHD ips screen is gorgeous. the mid level cpu + 2gb ram + camera is more than sufficient for my daily use. the magnetic magic flip cover is fantastic. the default web browser with quick controls (enabled in the browser's settings>labs>quick controls) is a joy to use. this is indeed a excellent value for money android phone at this price point.

sure the most powerful cpu + 3gb ram + amoled screen is the note 3, but the retail price is RM2399 + rm189 for the flip case. imo the price is obscene.

can you share the sound quality and photo quality?
