TCL has unveiled the TCL 10-series today. There are three phones in the series; the TCL 10 Pro, 10L and 10 5G. Each device comes with a quad rear camera and a Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. TCL is calling this its first series of TCL-branded smartphones.
The 10 series also has an SDR to HDR real-time conversion feature, providing HDR-like video enhancement with brighter highlights, darker shadows, increased contrast, and amplified color.
TCL 10 5G
The TCL 10 5G is the first midrange 5G smartphone to hit the market. It features a 6.53-inch hole-punch FHD+ LCD with a 91 percent screen-to-body ratio and a Qualcomm Snapdragon 765 chipset with an X52 5G modem.
While the X52 modem supports multiband 5G, the TCL 5G will only supports sub-6GHz networks.
In addition to the 765 chipset, the phone features 6GB of RAM and 128GB of storage. A 4,500mAh battery powers the 5G, there’s a quad camera stack with a 64MP primary lens, along with wide angle, macro, and depth lenses.
The TCL 10 5G doesn’t have a release window, but it’s coming this year. It will start at €399 when it does launch, and it will be available in Chroma Blue and Mercury Gray. U.S. pricing will be announced later.
TCL 10 Pro
The TCL 10 Pro is the flagship of the trio, though it lacks 5G. It has a 6.47-inch FHD+ AMOLED display with an on-display fingerprint sensor.
The 10 Pro features a Qualcomm Snapdragon 675 chipset with 6GB of RAM. There’s 128GB of UFS 2.1 storage on board, and you can add an additional 256GB with a microSD card.
Like the 5G, the 10 Pro features a 4,500mAh battery and an improved quad-camera stack. There’s a 64MP primary lens, along with ultra-wide, low-light, and super-macro sensors.
The TCL 10 Pro will come in Ember Gray and Forest Mist Green, with what TCL calls a “super premium finish” on the back. It’s available starting today in Portugal, with other markets coming later, and it will cost €499/$449.
TCL 10L
The TCL 10L is the most affordable phone in the lineup. It features a smaller, 6.53-inch FDH+ LCD with a hole-punch. Like the more expensive 5G, it has the same screen-to-body ratio of 91 percent.
The 10L is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 chipset along with 6GB of RAM. It’s the only phone with multiple storage options. The default is 64GB of eMMC storage, but a 128 UFS storage option will also be available.
Both support up to 256GB of external storage with a microSD card and feature a 4,000mAh battery.
Like its siblings, the 10L features a quad-camera stack that juts out from the back of the phone. There’s a 48MP primary lens, along with 8MP super wide, 2MP macro, and 2MP depth sensors.
The TCL 10L will be available starting today in Portugal in Arctic White and Mariana Blue, and will come to other markets over time. It will start at €279/$249.
