Alcatel Idol 4 Smartphone, Android, 5.2, 4G, SIM Free, 16GB

IDOL 4's ability to easily transform into a VR headset, thanks to its brilliantly designed packaging, works to put it well ahead of the competition. Fortunately for us Alcatel didn't stop there, instead the brand has added a BOOM Key on the side of each handset, which works as a shortcut to trigger a number of functions connected to the camera, speakers and display. Sleek Design The IDOL 4 has a glass touch front panel and glass back cover to successfully create a premium look and finish. It has an ultra svelte shape as it only measures 7.1mm in thickness, yet boasts a 5.2” edge-to-edge display. VR Goggles Packaging The plastic packaging in which the IDOL 4 is housed doubles up as a pair of VR goggles, so you can begin your virtual reality sessions without any additional costs. BOOM Key Functions This unique button is situated on the side of the device, allowing you to easily activate it even when the phone is switched off. Here's what you can do with it: Boom my camera: Instantly take a photo even when your phone is off by clicking the button twice Boom my gallery: You can automatically arrange the photos into a collage when you're in the photo gallery Boom my video: If you press the BOOM Key while recording a video it'll be broadcast live Boom my view: Adds a live weather display on the home screen and creates more intense parallax 3D effects for the launcher Boom my music: This feature was created in collaboration with the engineers from Wave Audio, an award-winning sound company, to let you automatically optimise your music by boosting the bass and improving the clarity of your media files Boom my game: This is built for the Asphalt race game to release the Nitro and boost the car speed
