The newly-unwrapped Alcatel Pop 4+ offers buyers a slight upgrade over the equally-new Pop 4. It packs a bigger display, slightly more RAM and greater storage space.
Build and Screen

One of the differences is that the OneTouch Pop 4+ crams in a plus-size 5.5-inch display. But this IPS touchscreen also has an HD resolution of 1,280 x 720 pixels, meaning clarity will suffer a bit on this one in comparison to the Pop 4.
Camera and Storage

This is paired with a 5-megapixel selfie shooter with a wide-angle lens and LED flash. However, you get double the storage space on this one. And if the generous 16 GB of onboard storage is not enough for you, the device can take a microSD card with up to 32GB capacity for storage expansion.
Performance and OS
