Alcatel V3 series to include three smartphones

Alcatel has partnered with Flipkart for online sales and will also offer the devices through Flipkart Minutes, the platform’s quick-commerce arm. The V3 series is being locally manufactured in collaboration with Padget Electronics, a subsidiary of Dixon Technologies, under the Make in India initiative.

The Alcatel V3 Ultra will feature a flat display with a centrally placed punch-hole cutout and support for a stylus.

The post Alcatel V3 series India launch set for May 27 appeared first on Gizmochina.

Alcatel is preparing for a major re-entry into India’s smartphone market. So far, reports have revealed that the brand will announce the Alcatel V3 Ultra smartphone this month in the country. However, industry insiders suggest that the brand could unveil three new V3 series devices. It is speculated that the brand may unveil the V3 Pro and V3 Classic alongside the Ultra model.

Alcatel V3 Pro, V3 Classic, V3 Ultra to feature NXTPAPER display

The Alcatel V3 trio are expected to feature the company’s unique in-house display system that may be comparable to the brand’s NXTPAPER platform seen in European markets. This new display technology, speculated to be built into the hardware itself, could deliver high clarity, comfort-oriented brightness levels, and a multi-mode viewing setup that reduces eye strain, making it a compelling proposition for long-form content consumption, gaming, and reading.

What makes this especially interesting is the possible addition of intelligent display tuning through Alcatel’s AI-driven NXTVISION suite. If true, the AI tweaks will allow the screen to adapt automatically to different usage scenarios, enhancing colors and contrast and even reducing blue light when necessary.

Alcatel V3 Ultra price in India

Among the expected trio, the V3 Ultra will be the most premium of the lot. It may ship with a stylus and is reportedly targeting a sub-Rs 30,000 price point. This would place it competitively in the mid-premium segment — potentially appealing to professionals and creatives alike.

All three Alcatel V3-series models are also rumored to carry advanced eye-care functionality, with the entire lineup aiming to deliver a high-quality, visually immersive experience that puts user comfort in front and centre. Rumors are rife that the V3 trio will debut by the end of this month in India.
