Alcatel may be launching a Windows 10 powered phone called the the Idol Pro 4. According to a report by WMPoweruser, the device would be powered by Qualcomm’s new flagship chipset, the Snapdragon 820 processor. The report also suggests that the phone may come with a Full HD display along with support for Continuum. 

WMPoweruser’s report also states that the device is still under development, so the specifications may change in the future. However, if the Alcatel Idol Pro 4 is launched with the Snapdragon 820, it may not be the only Windows device to be powered by the chipset. Reports suggest that that HP may be launching a device powered by Qualcomm’s new flagship SoC. The device will reportedly be called the HP Elite x3, which was previously known as the HP Falcon. Leaked benchmarks suggest that the device may have a 5.8-inch QHD display and a 20MP rear with a 12MP front camera. Xiaomi is also expected to launch a Windows-powered variant of its upcoming flagship phone, the Mi 5. The phone will be powered by a Snapdragon 820 processor and has been tipped to come with a 5.2-inch QHD display along with 4GB of RAM. The Xiaomi Mi 5 may come with a 16MP camera at the back with a 8MP front camera along with a fingerprint sensor located on the phone’s home button.
