The TCL Plex might be the first smartphone to emerge from the Chinese multinational corporation, but they are by no means new to the business. With brands like Alcatel, Blackberry and more recently Palm under their belt, TCL has been a major player for a long time. The Plex is the first of many new smartphones to be designed and built under the TCL moniker. Although the TCL Plex is currently on sale in Malaysia, a European launch is likely towards the end of the year.
