Your specs are off. The Snapdragon 652 is a dual cluster A72 +A53, and the GPU is the Adreno 510, not 506. Given that this is the second phone ever to sport A72 cores (the first being the Huawei Mate 8 with the HiSilicon Kirin 950 (although that is clearly superior due to being made on TSMC's 16nm FF+ process, not 28nm HPm like the 652)), and it seems to be a midrange-ish phone, this is pretty exciting.

Alcatel ony makes garbage. I was in the cell business and Alcatel would send us stuff and give us prizes if we sold so man of their phones. I refused sell one. Always super cheap non reliable and they dont last. I still think it's great they keep trying but they should just get out of the market
