Unlike other smartphones playing in the $300-400 price range (like the OnePlus 3 (https://hameed.nwar.uk/vb/mashable.com/2016/06/14/oneplus-3-review/?utm_campaign=&utm_context=textlink&utm_medium=rss&utm_source=)), Alcatel is positioning the Idol 4S as more than just a smartphone — it's an experience. Part of that experience is the packaging, which doubles as a VR headset.
