Alcatel OneTouch announced a new smartphones today that run either Windows Phone, Android or Firefox OS.
The company’s new
Pixi 3 device series, which comes in four sizes — 3.5″, 4″, 4.5″ and 5″ — will
have versions running three operating systems to ensure synergy with the
devices customers use at home. The idea is to create a single hardware SKU
that is flexible enough to load one of three operating systems, but Alcatel
wants to clarify that it won’t be possible to purchase a single smartphone
that runs all three; users must choose their favourite operating system prior
to purchase.
The three larger
devices will connect to LTE networks and sport more high-end specs (though
the specifics haven’t been revealed), while the 3.5-inch version will run
3G.
Alcatel is likely bringing
back the Palm brand to use in its smartphones, but the Pixi
line, which was announced earlier this year, has no specific affiliation
despite using the same name as an older webOS device. Alcatel wants the Pixi
series to be “affordable” and “flexible,” appealing to users who “do not want
complicated systems.”
More about the
series will be revealed at CES next week.
