IRVINE, Calif., June 18, 2015 /PRNewswire/ -- ALCATEL ONETOUCH - the fifth largest smartphone manufacturer in North America* - has announced the Canadian availability of the award-winning IDOL 3 at Bell, TELUS and Videotron as of June 30. Winner of the Android Authority Editors' Choice and Mashable Choice awards, among others, the IDOL 3 was one of the big surprises at this year's Mobile World Congress; challenging the convention of an affordable flagship smartphone.

"IDOL 3 is changing customer expectations by redefining the flagship smartphone experience," said Steve Cistulli, Senior Vice President & General Manager of North America for ALCATEL ONETOUCH. "With IDOL 3, we've partnered with top brands like Qualcomm, JBL and Technicolor to deliver the best in class experience for our customers at a price that's considerably less than other flagship smartphones in the market. Others try to justify outrageous prices for their top devices and we're out to show our customers they can get a device with the high-end features they want, at a price that won't empty their wallet."

Offering dual-front facing speakers featuring JBL Audio, a 5.5-inch Full-HD display with technicolor enhance technology and a 2910mAh battery to power through a full days use, the IDOL 3 offers consumers the best experience for their money. The IDOL 3 also comes packed with other unique features, such as a fully reversible user interface that makes the screen adaptive to be right side up even if the phone itself is upside down. You'll never miss any of life's moment either, thanks to IDOL 3's 13MP main camera and 8MP wide-angle front camera. IDOL 3 is also the first smartphone in North America to include the innovative security feature Eye-D - a biometric technology that uses eye print verification for secure authentication to unlock a user's device with a simple selfie.

IDOL 3 is the first globally released flagship from ALCATEL ONETOUCH and is the latest in the company's award-winning IDOL line of smartphones, known for combining the best of high-end design and features; following last year's IDOL X+ and IDOL 2S.
