Alcatel unveils 6-inch One Touch Hero smartphone with E Ink and LED cover options

Alcatel’s has announced One Touch Hero. The new Android 4.2 smartphone upgrades to a 6-inch 1080p LCD, and has optional cover accessories: An E Ink cover lets owners read books without using the power-hungry main screen, a wireless charging cover and a MagicFlip cover with LED notifications. It has a 1.5GHz quad-core processor with 2GB of RAM, a  13-megapixel rear camera, an improved 2-megapixel front shooter and either 8GB or 16GB of expandable storage. Alcatel will also sell a Bluetooth phone accessory (much like the HTC Mini+), a TV Link video adapter and a pico projector that doubles as a stand.

6 inches is too big for a phone in my view, but I do like the sound of the accessories.
