Alcatel returns to India with its smartphone lineup and unlike its European lineup, the Indian arm has utilised its multiple partnerships to come up with three feature-rich phones in the entry-level midrange segment. The V3 series is the first launch series from Alcatel catering to the budget end of the smartphone spectrum. The Alcatel V3 Ultra even offers a stylus – something that no other smartphone in the Indian phone market offers at the moment.
The Alcatel V3 series will be available on Flipkart and compete directly with phones like the Redmi Note 17, Motorola Edge 60 Fusion and Samsung Galaxy F15.
