After spending the past few years manufacturing phones sold under the BlackBerry and Alcatel brands, TCL is launching a line of smartphones under its own name. They all have quad cameras, big screens, and price tags below the $500 mark. They also all have headphone jacks and microSD card readers.
The TCL 10 Pro is a $449 smartphone with a 6.5 inch AMOLED display, quad cameras, 6GB of RAM, and 128GB of storage. But while this is the flagship in TCL’s 10 series, it’s really more of a mid-range phone thanks to its Qualcomm Snpdragon 675 processor.
The TCL 10L is a budget model with a $249 price tag, a Snapdragon 665 processor, and an LCD display.
And the upcoming TCL 10 5G is only expected to ship in “select regions” later this year, but this Snapdragon 765G-equipped phone will be priced at €399, making it pretty affordable by 5G smartphone standards.
Here are more detailed specs for each of TCL’s new phones:
