We received information from a regional source that Alcatel has struck a 3-month deal with Lazada to distribute the Alcatel Flash Plus in the Philippines when it is released here in the Philippines this May.
This means from May to July, interested buyers may only source the Alcatel Flash Plus from Lazada (via credit card or Cash-on-Delivery). It will then be available in open channel afterwards.
Lazada has committed several thousand units of the Flash Plus during the launch date. The suggested retail price is pegged at Php6,990 based on insider source.
You can read more about our first impressions of the Flash Plus here.

I never had a good experience with Lazada. I ordered tried doing a transaction with them three times and all those three occasions, I encountered nightmares. Never will I deal with them again. Ever.
Zobel says:
As usual with all Alcatel phones mukhang makapal ang dimensions nya like with my old OT 990. I think I’ll pass.
BTW, kaya siguro online selling muna sila kasi konti pa lang na ship nila. They should have procured at least 300 thousand units already. alam na nilang highly anticipated di pa nila sinigurado.
A says:
Sana rumor lang talaga to!
Mas maganda kasi kung sa physical stores nalang nila ibebenta to eh!
Sana kapag totoo to, walang bumili para mapilitan silang ilabas sa physical stores!

Hahahaha!
Abuzalzal says:
lazada is the shittest online store, aftersales dept. is full of shit you’ll be in a disaster if the item they’ll give you is a lemon, especially if you are already processing your refund goodluck pips ahahahaha
gadgeteer says:
I agree, it was a horrifying experience for me, dati naman when lazada started maganda naman ang customer support and returns, ngayon it is horrible! muntik na ko hindi maka refund buti na lang paypal ginamit ko and paypal ruled in my favor, imagine paypal an independent payment system ruled in my favor and lazada insisted I pay for the items that is totally useless and kulang kulang.
peeps be warned! lazada = shit = cheater = untrustworthy
patrick says:
even if i’ve been waiting for this phone, i’m not buying from lazada. i also want to hold and test the unit myself at a physical store before deciding whether to buy it or not. what if you’re not satisfied with the unit delivered to you, or worse, meron defect? eh di isosoli mo na naman tapos antay ka na naman. meron namang retail stores ang alcatel, bakit hindi nila doon ibenta ang flash plus?
fhguy23 says:
May update po ang alcatel phone, yung kapatid ko may Alcatel Alpha, jelly bean sya dati ngayon kitkat na. Mabagal lang sila magrelease ng update.
NotaSheep says:
Wait so they only sell this online? or am i misreading something…?
oh and could you prod them for a CONFIRMED update? because Alcatel is really popular NOT updating any of their phone.
Easy E says:
Sobrang mura na nya wag ka na maghanap ng software update. Expect nalang na sell-and-forget ito then release the next flash plus version. Saka parang wala naman (?) phone na iupdate ang os ng alcatel.
Sone says:
Diba kapag sa Lazada eh walang warranty ? Kagaya din ba to sa Zenfone 2 ?
Flash says:
actually depende kung sinong seller, if Alcatel Phil ang seller, you are in good hands kasi for sure 1 year warranty yun. pero kung third party ang seller, yun, definitely walang warranty. or if lazada ang seller, malamang service warranty lang yun or limited warranty.
i hope i am making sense. basta ganun. :D
xyberxy says:
Warning, alcatel don’t update android version, especially mid ranger. bought one touch scribe HD, still on 4.2.2 nice!
Jd says:
Very true! They do not upgrade their OS. Basically you’ll get stucked with it.It’s quite a downer actually and ever since then I lost interest with this brand.
JAMES says:
I always prefer buying on physical stores to run down my own assessment before leaving. That said and done, I’ll be the one to blame whether my unit is defective or not, thus having 7days replacement nearby feels a lot secured and the official warranty tells more about it. But as I said, prefer, others might not, I also purchased items before at Widget City and Kimstore.
This is one on my list together with Meizu M1 Note, Asus Zenfone 2 (Quad-core), SKK Lynx, Firefly (Ulefone?), CM Flare S3 Power?, Happy Mobile Aspire, Lenovo K3, Lenovo Golden Warrior? etc
gadgeteer says:
Here are the reasons why it is safer to buy from a physical store than sa online store specially Lazada.
1. you cannot see the product before it is handed to you, for all you know it has a hidden defect or a dead pixel which will be hard to prove and may not be replaced. SO YOU ARE STUCK WITH !!!
2. All service service centers honor a real invoice for warranty, a printed invoice from lazada with no serial number on the paper printed just on an ordinary printer is a real big risk, again it will cost you more in the end.
3. if you pay by credit card and lazada’s computer or someone inside gets access to your information, he might use your card details for credit card fraud.
4. if you pay by cash on delivery, you are limited to inspection of 5 minutes before you pay, unlike on a physical store, you take your time and can scutinize the items
NotaSheep says:
The Meizu M1 note is GREAT but with one (two if you add the 16gb storage) TERRIBLE flaw, speaker volume is freaken low, and it’s by design sadly. Tested with 3 units on the same store (since they only have those available) and they all have the curse of “Max settings low output volume” :(
course i can’t really compare it with any other model besides my old Cherry Gem which is 3x louder than the Meizu M1 note :P
Easy E says:
as expected.
JKisaragi says:
I hope they limit the sale to one unit per transaction.
www.kusina101.com says:
very bad move, alcatel. ruining the product before it even reaches the open market. lazada is a big joke.
Welsh says:
Nice to know…
But, can we have the review on this before the selling date…
Para naman may feedback kami from yugatech on the capability of the phone aside from the specs alone…
Nothing beats on the actual experience review than just hearing the specs..
Thanks
klky says:
yes at sana kung gagawa ng review e sana lang isama nila ung mga details gaya ng screen nyang 268ppi, notification LED, ilang multitouch points, bugs, etc… interested tlga ko sa phone na to.
Doods says:
Nice! For the specs and that price. This is definitely a keeper! I’m getting one :)
Anon says:
Finally!
Andrei says:
I’m seriously getting one. I dont know why but i love Alcatel eversince.
