It’s been just hours since IFA 2019 kicked-off in Berlin, Germany and TCL has announced its new smartphone — TCL Plex. The phone is being touted as the company’s first smartphone for the overseas market.
The smartphone comes with a 6.53-inch Full HD dotch notch display which uses the TCL NXTVISION technology that enables the clarity, color saturation and contrast of the screen for greatly improved visual detail and distortion.
The company has also revealed that all the TCL Plex family smartphones will come with the exclusive TCL NXTVISION technology for better screen display and shooting performance and the lineup will focus on “Display Greatness” as a new brand concept.
Under the hood, the device is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 675 octa-core processor but the memory configuration details have not been revealed yet. In the camera department, it comes with a triple-camera setup on the back.
There’s a 48-megapixel Sony IMX586 primary camera sensor, coupled with a 16-megapixel ultra wide-angle lens and a third camera sensor. Details about the front-facing camera are yet to be revealed by the company.
While the company has not announced this, we expect the smartphone to come powered by Android 9 Pie operating system out-of-the-box. The device is fuelled by a 3,820mAh battery which comes with Qualcomm Quick Charge 3.0 technology.
The smartphone comes with a new TCL UI that allows users to further personalise their smartphone through the Smart Panel. Through this, TCL Plex can interact with the Smart TV as well as other smart home devices. The devices can be controlled through the smartphone as well as voice assistant.
The TCL Plex smartphone comes in just one color — Black and is priced at EUR 329, which roughly converts to $363. The smartphone will be available for purchase in the European market from the fourth quarter of this month.
