Alcatel has made the OneTouch Idol 3 available for pre-order, and it's giving buyers a hefty discount. Anyone who places an order in the next couple of days can get the device for $199.99 from Alcatel's website or Amazon. That's a discount of $50 off what the phone will go for on these two sites. The phone will cost $279.99 if you buy it from anyone else.

The OneTouch Idol 3 is a good amount of phone for the money. This is the larger, 5.5-inch model, which comes with a Snapdragon 615. This processor helps the phone manage a full 1920 by 1080 screen resolution, and it's helped along by 2GB of RAM and a 2,910mAh battery. The camera on the back packs 13MP.

The phone launches on May 21st, but pre-orders may ship out a few days before then. This temporary price will last until 11:59 PDT on April 20th.
