Alcatel 6-Inch Phablet Comes with Fingerprint Recognition Feature

Alcatel announced Thursday at the international Consumer Electronics Show (CES) the launch of Alcatel A3 XL phablet.

It is a cross between phone and tablet, which comes with a 6-inch screen, fingerprint recognition feature, and LTE Category 4 connectivity.

Alcatel plans to roll out the Alcatel A3 XL in Asia Pacific, Middle East, Africa and Latin America during the first quarter of 2017, before moving on to Europe in the second quarter.
