Last week we reported TCL is developing five foldable devices including one that wraps around the wrist like a large bracelet. It appears TCL already has some prototypes and is demoing them at MWC 2019. A Weibo user at the event took pictures of some of them and shared them on the web yesterday.
The pictures show different versions of TCL’s foldable phones but all of them share some similarities. First, they all fold inwards. They also have multiple cameras. And lastly, they use the same hinge system TCL has dubbed “DragonHinge™”.

TCL says the main display is a 7.2-inch 2K AMOLED panel with a 2048 x 1536 resolution and an ultra-wide color gamut. It also says the device has pretty narrow bezels with a screen-to-body ratio of 90.73%. There are four cameras arranged vertically on the rear of the phone.
The second device has only one display. When folded, it takes the shape of a flip phone. However, it doesn’t fold completely flat. On its back are three cameras.

TCL says the phones run an optimized user interface for multitasking, email, and gaming. There is no info on the rest of the specs but since they are not expected to launch until next year, that is understandable. Hopefully, more details will surface later.
