Alcatel have continued their android One Touch series of devices with the One Touch Hero, a huge 6″ smartphone thats seems to take some key points from Samsung’s Galaxy Note series and Sony’s recently announced Xperia Z Ultra.

So what do you think about the Alcatel One Touch Hero? Can it possibly take on Samsung’s Galaxy Note series? Would you consider buying the device? Tell us your thoughts in the comments below
It’d be tough to take on the Note 3. It doesn’t have anywhere near the processing power, and I didn’t see any mention of expandable storage, so maybe they’ll try market it as a cheaper Note alternative?
I have the Note 2, which I’d probably still recommend over this, particularly if it gets an upgrade to 4.3 soon.
Nice! Was going to buy a Mega 6.3″, might wait to see what this costs …
