TCL Communication, the company behind Alcatel One Touch mobile phones, has announced the Android-powered One Touch Idol Ultra at this year’s CES consumer electronics show.

Alcatel One Touch Idol Ultra

It’s just 6.45mm deep at its narrowest point yet offers a 4.7-inch HD AMOLED display, an 8 megapixel camera and a 1.2GHz dual-core processor - and is protected from water damage by P2i's liquid repellent nano-coating technology.

In addition the company has introduced the One Touch Scribe HD, which includes a 5-inch screen and uses the new MediaTek MT6589 quad-core chip.

Alain Lejeune , Head of Research and Development for Alcatel One Touch, said “The ONE TOUCH Idol device series represents a breakthrough in technology. We’ve pushed the barriers on design, resulting in devices that offer the perfect balance between ultra-slim form factor, large display, outstanding performance, and rich user experience, while keeping the devices affordably priced to consumers.”

Neither device currently has a UK release date.
