Alcatel IDOL 5 FCC approval leaks out back panel

TCL has just got the FCC approval for the upcoming flagship Alcatel IDOL 5 that comes with the model number 6060S and surprisingly the FCC approval has leaked out the rear panel of the device. The leaked back panel shows a single rear camera with LED flash and there is a fingerprint scanner available on the rear panel below the camera followed by the “IDOL” branding.

The Alcatel logo is at the bottom rear area. However, no other details about the device are out from the FCC approval of the device. The rumours online also indicate that this could also be launched as the Alcatel Idol 5s instead of the Alcatel Idol 5 name. We have to wait for the official confirmation which might not be too far away from now.
