Alcatel is making a comeback in the Indian smartphone market with its brand-new V3 series. Operated by TCL Communication, the French mobile brand has officially announced the India launch date for the Alcatel V3 lineup.
The company has confirmed that the Alcatel V3 Ultra model will be unveiled first, but reports hint at two more variants—V3 Pro and V3 Classic—joining the party. The entire series will be available exclusively via Flipkart and Flipkart Minutes.
Launch
Mark your calendars—Alcatel’s V3 series will officially launch in India on May 27 at 12 PM IST. While only the Alcatel V3 Ultra has been acknowledged by the brand so far, reliable sources suggest that the V3 Pro and V3 Classic are also part of the lineup. This will be the brand’s big return to the Indian market, and Flipkart is the official retail partner.
Design
The Alcatel V3 Ultra has already been teased in multiple official posts. It features a flat display with a centrally placed hole-punch selfie camera. Around the back, there’s a circular camera island housing three camera lenses and an LED flash. A standout feature is its stylus support, which brings back some nostalgic PDA vibes with a modern twist.
Display
Alcatel is also throwing in some advanced screen tech. The V3 Ultra is expected to feature a 6.8-inch NXTPAPER display with a 120Hz refresh rate. NXTPAPER is TCL’s proprietary display tech, known for offering a paper-like visual experience that reduces eye strain—ideal for reading, watching videos, and general browsing.
The phone will also include dedicated viewing modes, optimized for tasks like reading, watching, and scrolling. These modes adjust brightness and color tones to suit the activity, which can be a useful touch for users who spend long hours on their phones.
Performance
Under the hood, the V3 Ultra is rumored to be powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset. It’s not the most powerful chip out there, but it offers solid mid-range performance and supports 5G, which is great for daily multitasking, streaming, and light gaming.
Camera
When it comes to cameras, the Alcatel V3 Ultra is tipped to feature a 108-megapixel main camera on the back, accompanied by two secondary lenses (details on those are still under wraps). For selfies, it may sport a 32-megapixel front shooter—plenty for Instagram, video calls, and the occasional TikTok.
Battery
Powering the device could be a 5,010mAh battery, supported by 33W fast charging. That means decent all-day use and quick top-ups when needed. It’s not groundbreaking, but it’s definitely competitive in the under ₹30,000 segment.
Made in India
Alcatel is also taking a step toward local manufacturing by partnering with Padget Electronics, a subsidiary of Dixon Technologies. This aligns with the Make in India initiative and could help the brand keep prices competitive while increasing its presence in the country.
Price
The Alcatel V3 Ultra is expected to launch in India under ₹30,000, putting it right in the mid-range category. This price segment is packed with options from Realme, Redmi, Samsung, and Motorola, so it’ll be interesting to see how Alcatel positions itself against the competition.
If you’re looking for a feature-packed phone with stylus support, a paper-like display, and a high-resolution camera—all without breaking the bank—the Alcatel V3 Ultra could be a solid pick to keep on your radar.
