There are Two kinds of back casing of Alcatel Flash 2
- the Volcanic grey – which I believe the back rough cover case is made from volcanic rock
- The Mica White – which I believe the back rough cover case is made from sand
(the quality made of the back case is just my speculation…)
The 5 inch phone is perfectly fit in our hand
here’s a model from the launch event holding the phone.
If this was a 5.5 inches, then it will be a glorious wonderful phone. But 5.5 inches is a much preferred to gamers, but a 5 inches is just made for a perfect fit to people who are always on the go with a smartphone.

So for my first impression….this is really a good phone because of its upgraded specs.
Alcatel did another awesome specs for people who hunger for more power, speed and battery power….plus having an extension for the storage up to 128GB is one of the best feature!
My few minutes of hands on during the public launch
Perfect to my hand…Im sure I wont experience any accidental slip.
I just hope that they include a Gorilla Glass for the screen.
Close up look at the rear camera with gSight camera tech with 13MP and Realtone Flash
Im trying the non slip back case….it still stick on my hand
Checking the apps…
I love the Android L UI, the colors are very cartoony and vivid.
I tried the rear camera with flash
Im impressed with its fast shutter, focus and the LED Realtone flash balance
I tried also a selfie….here’s a photo with Kax Merioles of www.lifestylemanila.com
Im also impressed on the front camera fast focus and shutter…. its only 5MP but it can perform good already on low light conditions.
