This 'Alpha' Android glimmers in gold at CES 2014 (pictures)

With a fresh coat of paint in just the right shade, Alcatel has turned its OneTouch Idol Alpha smartphone into a covetable handset.

The shade is restrained champagne, just like another famous phone.

Color rims the phone face and back, but doesn't overwhelm.

Straight sides give the form substance.

Both Idol Alpha colors, side by side.

The 4.7-inch 720p HD Android 4.2 phone is notable in its own right. A higher-end device, it features a 13-megapixel camera and a 1.2GHz quad-core processor.
