Alcatel OneTouch Go Watch

BERLIN -- Alcatel's Go Watch may just be the most colorful smartwatch we've seen. And as Alcatel says it's waterproof, dustproof and shockproof, it could be among the most durable, as well.

Alcatel OneTouch Go Play

Also rugged, it's supposed to be able to survive a fall of 1.5 meters, and thanks to the waterproof skin you can snap photos underwater.

Alcatel OneTouch Idol 3C

The replaceable covers make the Idol 3C stand out. They come in five colors: white, lime green, yellow, purple and red. They're made of plastic, but they snapped on with a loud and satisfying click.

Alcatel OneTouch Xess

Part tablet, part all-in-one desktop PC, the Alcatel Xess has a 1,920x1,080-pixel resolution. On a 17.3-inch screen, though, that won't look incredibly sharp or detailed.

Alcatel OneTouch Xess

On the back of the Xess is a built-in stand that lets it recline 30, 50 or 70 degrees. The stand also doubles as a handle.
