Alcatel OneTouch Idol 3’s back cover is connected quite closely. It is a little difficult to remove it.
The back cover has some small snaps, so it’s no wonder the cover was so firmly fixed.
Alcatel OneTouch Idol 3 supports NFC, and you can see the NFC in the center of the body, so pairing up was quite convenient.
Alcatel OneTouch Idol 3’s motherboard
Alcatel OneTouch Idol 3 comes with a 3.8v, 2910mah/11.06wh Li-polymer battery.
When the mysterious black component was removed, I found it was a big speaker sound chamber. Alcatel OneTouch Idol 3 is certified by JBL, and I believe that is the part that played a role.
Alcatel OneTouch Idol 3 uses a FocalTech FT5436 touch chip. It is learned that FocalTech has occupied about 60% of the market share of touch chips.
The bottom also uses the same large sound chamber speaker, together with the top speaker to provide stereo sound.
All the chips were covered by the metal shield.
Thanks for the great guide. Would you know where a guy could get replacement speakers for this phone? Thanks
