【eroticism is the poetry of the body】

Tons of phones have eroticism is the poetry of the bodybeen announced at Mobile World Congress this year, but none look as electrifying as the Alcatel A5 LED. It features lights on its backside that can be programmed to get the party started.

Whereas some Android phones have an LED light for notifications, the Alcatel A5 LED has 35 large LEDs and hundreds of little ones that can display a variety of different light shows when you get a notification or incoming call.

The LEDs can even pulse to music like an equalizer. The light effect is similar to the pulsing LED lights on the JBL Pulse speaker.

Aside from a "Color Catcher" feature that uses the camera to pick out colors from a scene and then uses those colors to create a system theme, the LED show is pretty much the only noteworthy thing about the A5 LED.

The rest of the phone is pretty meh, with midrange specs. There's a 5.2-inch 720p display, 1.5GHz octa-core MediaTek 6753 processor, 16GB of internal storage, 2GB of RAM, 2800 mAh battery, 8-megapixel rear camera with LED flash and 5-megapixel front camera.

And, unlike your fragile iPhone, the A5 LED's durable, plastic build quality means it'll probably survive a night of crazy dancing and partying.

Plus, because the A5 LED is basically just an Alcatel A5 with an LED "customizable back cover," if you ever get sick of the trippy lights, you can just swap on a regular cover, or the one with the speaker or extended battery pack.

I'm not going to lie -- the specs suck -- but just imagine bringing this thing to an EDM festival! Sure, all your friends will probably laugh at your cheapo phone, but you'll definitely score cool points for bringing your own light show. In the world of boring phones that look the same, Alcatel deserves credit for trying something new and fun.
