AT&T's Alcatel Ideal announced for just $50 to boot

Although they may not be the most recognizable brand on the market, Alcatel has certainly been trying to make a name for themselves over the past year. The company’s Idol 3 came out back in June of 2015, and was undeniably one of the year’s most popular options for folks looking for a solid experience while staying on a budget. Alcatel followed that up with this year’s Idol 4S, offering a handset with improved specs, a free VR headset, and a price tag of just $399 unlocked.
