The Chinese manufacturer TCL had launched three new smartphones at the CES at the beginning of the year: the TCL 10 Pro, the TCL 10 5G and the TCL 10L. Now some more information about the devices is known.
TCL 10 5G with Snapdragon 765G
Of course we are particularly interested in the TCL 10 5G, the only 5G smartphone in the new 10 series from TCL. As SoC, TCL uses the Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G. This is clocked at up to 2.3 gigahertz and is known to have a Snapdragon X52 5G modem directly on board. There is 6 GB of RAM, plus 128 GB of internal UFS 2.1-based flash memory.
In the front of the TCL 10 5G phone, there is a 6.53 inch LCD panel with 2,340 x 1,080 pixels. A selfie cam with a resolution of 16 megapixels sits in a corner in a corner. TCL has four lenses on the back: a 64-megapixel camera as the main sensor, a 16-megapixel ultra-wide-angle camera, a 5-megapixel macro camera and a 2-megapixel camera for depth effects. There is also a 4,500 mAh battery with Quick Charge 3.0, Bluetooth 5.0 and WLAN-ac. A fingerprint sensor and a headphone jack are not missing either. A modified version of Android 10 is used as the operating system. The price is unknown yet but we suppose it will be more than 600USD.
Two more LTE smartphones
In addition to the 5G smartphone, two other models belong to the 10 series from TCL. The TCL 10 Pro will cost 500USD without a contract and has installed the Qualcomm Snapdragon 675 without 5G support. There are also 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of memory, a 6.47-inch AMOLED display and a 4,500 mAh battery. The camera equipment in the front and back is similar.
In terms of price, the cheapest alternative is the TCL 10L. Here, too, there is no 5G and equipment that is slimmed down appropriately for the price range. These include the Qualcomm Snapdragon 665, a 6.53-inch LC display with FHD +, a triple camera with a 48-megapixel main camera and a 4,000 mAh battery. All three devices are expected to be available in the course of the second quarter of 2020.
