Alcatel today announced the Hero 2, an Android phablet for the masses. The phone features a 6-inch full HD display that Alcatel claims covers 90% of the phone's front face. It is protected by Dragontail glass to prevent against breakage. It is powered by an octa-core processor with two banks of four cores running at 2.0GHz each. It has 2GB of RAM, 16GB of storage, and supports microSD cards up to 32GB. The Hero 2 has a 3,100mAh battery, which Alcatel says gives it a full day of intense usage. The main camera captures 13.1 megapixels and includes HDR, face detection, optical image stabilization, and 1080p HD video capture. The user-facing camera captures 5 megapixels. The Hero 2 boasts the usual spate of wireless radios, including various LTE bands, Bluetooth, Wi-Fi, and GPS. It also supports DLNA for sharing, includes an FM radio, and is stuffed with a wide range of sensors. The phone is compatible with Alcatel's MagicFlip covers, which can display current track information, as well as alerts for incoming/missed calls. Alcatel didn't say when the Hero 2 will be available, nor what it will cost.
