Alcatel Flash 2: Superb Mobile Photography Experience Unlocked


Wazzup Pilipinas!

There is no doubt that Filipinos love to take photos with their smartphones. You'll see many of our countrymen doing selfies and groupfies everywhere you go. It's not only Filipinos that were bit by the mobile photography bug, I've been seeing different nationalities doing the same thing wherever I go. 

Last week I was a part of the Bohol familiarization tour accompanying many foreign delegates from different countries and it was kind of hilarious seeing all of them infatuated with using their smartphones in taking photos, and participating in groupfies too. Of course, the selfie stick or monopod has been a bestseller that I can imagine the demand for it as very high.

Now, the Alcatel brand promises to push the limit in mobile photography or what they cleverly coined as "mobigraphy" referring to a commitment in providing users a unique mobile photography experience.

A launch of the Alcatel Flash 2 was held on September 22, 2015 at the Raven Boutique Club in Bonifacio Global City (BGC). They say the smartphone now features an even stronger focus on mobile photography than ever before.

Fresh with their new brand color “Flash Green” signifying innovation, youth and energy, the term “mobigraphy" is not just about an action, but is now a lifestyle. 




Albert Wong, General Manager of Alcatel Flash, said they understood this from the very beginning when they created the Flash series. “What we have done for Alcatel Flash 2 is to continue to improve on what we already have and make it better yet at the same time continue to provide accessibility and convenience to the users to shoot their best moments” he continues.

Lei Zhang, Philippine Country Manager of Alcatel, said that “The success of the Flash Plus has inspired the team to devise another smartphone with superb features and specifications.” 

Alcatel Flash 2 will be exclusively sold on September 30 at exactly 12 noon, through the Philippines’ One-Stop Shopping and Selling Destination – Lazada. 



I'm sure that many would be waiting for this date when they could finally purchase a unit for a price that's really very affordable but with features that are premium.

The Alcatel Flash 2 signifies the strong partnership between Alcatel Flash and Lazada towards having the superior product quality of the Alcatel Flash smartphones be accessible to a wider consumer base through Lazada’s strong logistical capability and robust cash-on-delivery network. With the partnership between Alcatel Flash and Lazada, Filpinos can own the newest smartphone sensation – the Alcatel Flash 2, through the effortless and enjoyable online shopping experience that Lazada Philippines offers to its shoppers.
