The TCL 10L and TCL 10 Pro were both announced in April of this year as TCL’s own-branded smartphones. The two phones have now received price cuts, making them pretty affordable.

The TCL 10L which launched for $249 can now be purchased for $174.99 on Amazon, Best Buy, and Walmart. For that price, you get a phone with a 6.53-inch FHD+ display that has a hole punch at the top left corner. It is powered by the Snapdragon 665 processor with 6GB of RAM and 64GB of expandable storage.

The phone also has a 48MP primary rear camera that is kept company with an 8MP ultrawide angle camera, a 2MP macro camera, a 2MP depth sensor, and two LED sensors at each end. Sitting below these cameras is a fingerprint scanner. A 16MP camera is in front for taking selfies and there is a special button on the left side of the phone that can be customized to launch an app or feature. Under the hood is a 4000mAh battery. There is also NFC and Super Bluetooth which allows you to pair to four Bluetooth speakers or headphones at the same time.

The TCL 10 Pro which launched for $449 is now down to $287.49 on Best Buy. It has a smaller 6.47-inch display but it is AMOLED and with a waterdrop notch. Its Snapdragon 675 processor is paired with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of expandable storage. Its quad rear cameras include a 64MP main sensor, a 16MP ultrawide angle camera, a 5MP macro camera, and a 2MP f/1.8 camera. It also has a 24MP selfie camera, NFC, Super Bluetooth, an in-display fingerprint scanner, and a 4500mAh battery that supports Quick Charge 3.0. It runs Android 10 like its sibling but has been promised an Android 11 update.

Three months after giving us a glimpse at the TCL 10 series, the phones have now been officially announced. The TCL 10 series includes the TCL 10L, the TCL 10 Pro, and the TCL 10 5G. What these phones have going for them are their affordable price tags.

TCL 10L

The TCL 10L is the cheapest of all three phones and it packs specs you will find in 4G mid-range phones of 2019.

The phone has a 6.53-inch LCD LTPS FHD+ display with a punch hole at the top left for the selfie camera. It has a dedicated PixelWorks chip that converts SDR to HDR in real-time.

Inside the phone is a Snapdragon 665 chipset with 6GB of RAM and 64GB (eMMC) or 128GB (UFS) expandable storage (256GB max.). The TCL 10L has a 48MP f/1.8 primary rear camera and it is paired with an 8MP f/2.2 ultrawide angle camera. It also has a 2MP macro camera and a 2MP depth sensor. Inside the punch-hole is a 16MP f/2.2 camera.

There is NFC, Bluetooth 5.0, dual-band Wi-Fi, and an audio jack. It also has a dedicated audio chipset, an audio amplifier and a feature called Super Bluetooth which allows you to connect to up to four Bluetooth speakers or headphones at the same time. There is a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner and an extra hardware button called the smart key which can be customized to call up Google Assistant or launch a preset app depending on the settings. The TCL 10L runs Android 10 with TCL UI on top.

It will be available this quarter in Europe for €249, in North America for $249, and in the UK for £199. It will also be available in Australia but there is no info on the price.

TCL 10 5G

The TCL 10 5G shares some of its features with the TCL 10L but adds a more powerful processor, better cameras, and a bigger battery.

So you get the same 6.53-inch FHD+ display and display chip. The processor inside is a Snapdragon 765G and it is paired with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of expandable storage (1TB max.). The primary rear camera is a 64MP f/1.9 camera. There is an 8MP f/2.2 ultrawide angle camera, a 5MP macro camera, and a 2MP depth sensor. Its selfie camera is a 16MP sensor.

The TCL 10 5G also has NFC, Super Bluetooth, Bluetooth 5.0, Smart Key, audio jack, and a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner. It runs Android 10 out of the box. It has a 4500mAh battery capacity with support for Quick Charge 3.0.

The phone will be sold in Europe for €399 and £399 in the UK.

TCL 10 Pro

This is the most expensive of the trio but like the TCL 10L, it is a 4G device.

The TCL 10 Pro makes up for its higher price tag with a 6.47-inch curved AMOLED FHD+ display. However, it ditches the punch-hole for a notch. Just like its siblings, it too comes with a dedicated display engine for real-time SDR to HDR conversion.

There is a Snapdragon 675 processor inside along with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of UFS 2.1 storage. There is a MicroSD card slot, so owners can add up to an extra 256GB. There is a 64MP GW1 camera on the back along with a 16MP f/2.4 ultrawide angle camera, a 5MP macro camera, and a 2MP f/1.8 depth sensor. The selfie camera is a 24MP sensor.

There is NFC, Bluetooth 5.0, Super Bluetooth, an audio chipset, an audio amplifier, and an audio jack. It also an in-display fingerprint scanner and a Smart Key. The TCL 10 Pro packs a 4500mAh battery too with support for Quick Charge 3.0. It runs Android 10 and TCL promises an Android 11 update.

The phone will sell for €449 in Europe, $449 in North America, and £399 in the UK. It will also be sold in Australia. TCL says it will be available this quarter.

The post TCL 10L, TCL 10 Pro, and TCL 10 5G officially launched appeared first on Gizmochina.

When it comes to the mobile industry, TCL is known as the manufacturer behind Alcatel and BlackBerry phones since it got the license to make and sell phones using the two brand names. However, things began to change following the launch of the TCL Plex last year.

Last year’s TCL Plex marked the Chinese company’s first step in pushing its own branded phones to the market. This year, there will be more, starting with the TCL 10 Pro, the TCL 10 5G, and the TCL 10L. All three phones have been brought to CES 2020 ahead of their global release later.

TCL 10 Pro

The TCL 10 Pro is expected to be a flagship device, probably a flagship killer. Its screen, whose dimension wasn’t revealed (should be about 6.5-inches), has a waterdrop notch for the selfie camera. The display is most likely AMOLED since it has an in-display fingerprint scanner.

The screen is curved on the sides and TCL claims it has a custom-made hardware controller that converts SDR into HDR. This is a feature we have seen on some Nokia phones such as the Nokia 7.2. There is no mention of a high refresh rate but it is possible the phone has.

The TCL 10 Pro has four rear cameras arranged horizontally on the back of the phone and flanked by an LED flash at both ends. It also has a laser focus module. The primary rear camera is a 64MP sensor and another one of the sensors is a macro camera. The Verge reports that TCL was honest about the camera performance as it said it won’t be the best camera but should meet the quality of similarly priced phones.

The phone is running a custom version of Android which has been reported to be “relatively light” and has “a couple of nice touches”. There is a physical button on the left side that can be customized to three different actions. The phone also has an audio jack at the top; not my preferred position, but better than not having one at all. The battery capacity is unknown but the phone appears to be quite thick.

TCL 10 5G (T790Y)

This will be a 5G device with a price tag under $500 and a significant difference in price between it and the TCL 10 Pro.

The TCL 10 5G has a punch-hole display with the hole at the top left corner. It also has four rear cameras and two LEDs for flash arranged the same way as that of the 10 Pro. The primary camera is a 64MP sensor and there is a macro camera too.

Unlike the 10 Pro, the TCL 10 5G has a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner, so we can assume the screen is an LCD panel.

It has been reported that the phone will have a Snapdragon 700-series processor, and since it is a 5G phone, this leaves the Snapdragon 765 5G and Snapdragon 765 5G as the two possible options.

The TCL 10 5G is shown in blue in the image above.

TCL 10L (T770H)

The TCL 10L has the same punch-hole display as the TCL 10 5G. It also has quad rear cameras and two pill-shaped LED flash at each end. However, the primary rear camera is a 48MP sensor but it too has a macro lens.

There is no info on the processor inside the TCL 10L neither is there a mention of its battery capacity. However, the TCL 10L is said to not be as thick and bulky as the TCL 10 5G, so it most likely has a smaller battery capacity.

TCL told The Verge that more details about the three phones will be revealed at Mobile World Congress 2020 this year.
