Alcatel OneTouch planning to produce phones running Windows 10September 12, 2015 - 12:47 AMT PanARMENIAN.Net - Alcatel One Touch known for its low-cost phones will make a smartphone running Microsoft's Windows 10 software, which launched just over a month ago on PCs and tablets, Cnet reports. It plans to unveil a Windows 10 smartphone before year's end, Steve Cistulli, Alcatel OneTouch's senior vice president for North America, told Cnet in an interview Thursday, September 10 at the CTIA wireless trade show. "We are very supportive of the Windows ecosystem," Cistulli said. Cistulli's confirmation comes on the heels of a leak about a purported Windows 10 smartphone from Alcatel OneTouch. Details of the device, dubbed the Fierce XL, emerged from tech leaker Evan Blass, who posts on Twitter under the handle Evleaks. Cistulli declined to comment on the leak. Alcatel OneTouch's backing represents a rare bit of support for Windows 10 on the smartphone side. While PC makers have embraced the new software, smartphone vendors have been lukewarm due to the dominance of Google's Android and Apple's iOS software for mobile devices. The company hopes to catch a measure of success with an affordable smartphone running Windows 10, which it plans to sell through at least one U.S. carrier.
