Orange has launched the Alcatel OneTouch Pixi 2 smartphone across Africa and the Middle East.

The device is an affordable, feature-packed smartphone that will rapidly bring the benefits of the mobile internet to consumers.

Its predecessor sold nearly 250,000 units across 6 months, rapidly becoming Orange’s most popular device in the Africa and Middle East regions.

"The smartphone landscape is rapidly changing, with high quality smartphones becoming increasingly affordable and accessible," said Yves Maitre, Executive Vice President, Connected Objects and Partnerships at Orange. "At Orange we continue to make the internet more accessible to our customers in Africa and the Middle East by providing the best phones and tablets, on the best networks, with localised content and services at a price that is accessible for even more of our customers."

The newer device offers customers a full featured 3G Android Jellybean 4.2 smartphone with a 3.5” HVGA screen, dual-core 1.0 GHz processor, 2GB of memory and 512 MB of RAM. The smartphone weighs in at 100g and is only 10.5mm thick. In addition, it comes pre-loaded with the top social networks and other popular applications.

“The Alcatel OneTouch Pixi 2 brings the benefits of mobile internet available to even more consumers around the world” said Dr. George Guo, CEO of TCL Communication Technology, creators of the device.

The smartphone is available today or will be launching soon with Orange in 21 countries across Africa, the Middle East and select countries in Europe and Asia.
