However Alcatel is taking it a step further, by outfitting the IDOL 3 with JBL front-facing speakers, Harman Kardon Clari-Fi tech, and the unique ability of being able to use the device upside-down. The lack of hardware buttons and the layout of the speakers allows this advantage for the IDOL 3, and it can be a real time saver for those time you reach for your phone in a hurry.
