Alcatel, a TCL subsidiary, is the fastest growing smartphone brand from China. The company has launched a number of new smartphones that got excellent response from the buyers around the world. The company is now gearing up to launch its new Alcatel Flash 3 smartphone that will be the successor to the Alcatel Flash 2 launched last year. The Alcatel Flash 3 has just been spotted at GFXBench database listing its key specs.
The GFXBench listing for Alcatel Flash 3 shows that it will have a 4.6-inch full HD display with 1920 x 1080 pixels resolution. There might be an error in the GFXBench listing as the Alcatel Flash 2 was having a 5-inch display and we can expect the same or bigger display in the Flash 3. The Alcatel Flash 3 is powered by a deca-core 2.3GHz MediaTek Helio X20 MT6797 (Cortex A53 – ARMv8) processor that also comes with ARM Mali-T880 GPU.

It features a 12-megapixel LED flash rear camera and an 8-megapixel front facing camera as well. None of the other details about this device are available currently in the GFXBench database, so let’s wait for the official release for more details about this device.
