Alcatel Mobile started as a joint venture between Chinese multinational electronic giant TCL Corporation and French Communication giant Alcatel-Lucent, but later on wholly belonged to TCL as Alcatel- Lucent sold all its shares to TCL. Globally well accepted, they introduced a wide range of handsets and kept upgrading as per latest technology and market demands, from basic handsets to smartphones and android operating systems. They found a new life with Android in Alacatel One Touch 980 which was the first Alcatel to use Android version 2.1 and they kept improvising on it and their current introduction is Alcatel One Touch Hero. It is actually a phablet carrying functions of both smart phone and a tablet.
