Forget boring black. The Pop C9 is a smartphone rainbow
LAS VEGAS -- Lovers of lush color and Android affordability should keep an eye on Alcatel's Alcatel One Touch Pop C9 series. The smartphone comes in five different shades and two coatings.
C is for color
The blue-black and red models have matte, soft-touch finishes and full-body color. Meanwhile, the other tones flaunt their flavor on the backs of their white faces.
Camer and specs
More of a budget-focused, midrange phablet bound for markets like South America, the Pop C9 has an 8-megapixel rear-facing camera that records 1080p HD video.
Construction
It's a vibrant device, but seams like this show that the phone, while sturdy, isn't too fussy about sartorial perfection.
Width
I don't need a waifish phone to be happy, and while not the slimmest thing around, the Pop C9 never seemed overly bulky.
Pick of the litter
Read up on the Pop C9's specs and hands-on impressions.
