Joining the dual-SIM, dual-core game is Alcatel and their One Touch 997D Explore, a 4.3-inch Android phone with a liquid repellant coat.
The Alcatel OT-997D is designed with a P2i liquid repellant coat which is similar to the liquid repellant nano-coating used in current Motorola Droids. What this simply does is make the phone splash resistant allowing liquid to just bead off the surface.
This phone uses a 4.3-inch WVGA display and is powered by a dual-core 1GHz processor with a 1GB RAM running on Android 4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich. It also has a 4GB storage and supports microSD for additional space.
Rear camera is at 8-megapixel with autofocus and comes with a flash while the front camera tops at VGA quality. The OT-997D comes with a 1800mAh battery although the company claims that it has an optimized software with a built-in battery saving app to give you more juice out of a single charge.
The Alcatel One Touch 997D Explore is already available at all Alcatel kiosks and selected dealers nationwide for Php11,990.
