The Alcatel 1X and 1C phones for 2019 are coming for those who need a basic phone for around one-tenth of the price of the flagship smartphones.

The Alcatel 1X i has thin bezels in the 18:9 ratio, and a no-slip backing. The 1C is thicker and heavier, with wide bezels around a dull, low-resolution screen.

Both the Alcatel 1X and 1C will launch in Q1. The 1X, which is the relatively more advanced of the two devices, will cost $120 or 120 euros and will sell in select markets in North America, Europe, Asia, the Middle East and Africa. Meanwhile, the bare-bones 1C -- which has a 70 euro price tag -- will sell in Asia, Africa, Latin America, the Middle East and Europe.
