The new V3 smartphones will not only be available on Flipkart’s main platform but also through its quick-commerce service, FK Minutes, allowing for fast delivery in select locations. This dual-channel approach is designed to reach a broader customer base, especially in urban areas where rapid delivery services are gaining traction.

While full specifications are yet to be officially disclosed, Alcatel has teased key features of the Alcatel V3 Ultra, the flagship model in the new series. A teaser image confirmed the inclusion of a stylus, suggesting a productivity-focused device. The phone is also expected to feature hardware-based display technology with dedicated modes optimized for reading, watching content, browsing, and creative tasks.
In addition to the V3 Ultra, the company is also expected to launch the Alcatel V3 Pro and Alcatel V3 Classic variants, catering to different price points and user needs.
