Most hardware manufacturers choose Android over ~~Windows Phone~~ Windows 10 Mobile as Google has built a powerful mobile operating system with plenty of developer support; however, there are a handful of companies that design phones for both Google and Microsoft's platforms. Even HTC has designed a single phone to sell with either Android or Windows Phone running on it. And now it looks like Alcatel OneTouch will join that approach with an upcoming phone.

The Fierce XL, according to Evan Blass, will come in two variants. Alcatel OneTouch will sell the Fierce XL with your choice of Windows 10 Mobile (left) or Android (right). Both variants are apparently going to be sold by T-Mobile here in the United States. As you can see in the image above, the Fierce XL will not have on-screen buttons like its maker's Idol 3. Alcatel OneTouch seems to be going with a low-end or mid-range handset that is exclusive to T-Mobile customers.
