In the United States, TCL is best known for its affordable TVs, but this year, the company try to broaden your horizons with the release of three new phones and an exciting new teaser for its Fold ‘n’ Roll hybrid concept.
Following the TCL 20 SE and TCL 20 5G, which were announced earlier this year at CES, TCL adds TCL 20L, TCL 20L + and TCL 20 Pro 5G to the portfolio, with North America planned to get the TCL 20S instead of the 20L +.
Starting at 229 euros, the 20L will be the most affordable of the three new TCL phones and will come with a 6.67-inch FHD + display, a Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 processor, a base of 4GB of RAM and 128GB of storage and quad rear cameras (48 MP main macro, 8 MP wide macro, 2 MP and 2 MP depth sensor).
The 20L also includes a side-mounted fingerprint sensor and a large 5,000 mAh battery, and unlike many premium phones, the 20L (along with the 20L + and 20 Pro 5G) also includes a good d-connector. 3.5mm audio microSD card reader, which are definitely useful inclusions.

Going up to 269 euros takes you to the TCL 20L +, which is a slightly updated version of the standard 20L with a higher resolution 64 MP main camera on the back, but with the same Snapdragon 662 inside, plus of 6 GB of RAM and 256 GB of serial storage.
A couple of other special features of the 20L + include the Backlight Selfie mode and the TCL Super Night mode the company new circular polarization display technology, which has been specially designed to allow you to clearly see your phone screen while wearing sunglasses. Now, to be honest, I haven’t come across many phones that struggle with polarized lenses, but it does happen occasionally, usually on inexpensive devices, so even though this technology isn’t exactly a game.hanger, is a useful advantage for general usability.
TCL has not yet revealed all the details of on the 20thS for people from the US, Canada and Mexico, But TCL said the phone will have a design and price similar to the others in the training.
Finally, there is TCL 20 Pro 5G, which starts at 549 euros and has several premium features, includes an exclusive design, 6.67-inch FHD + AMOLED display, 48 MP rear camera with OIS and a Snapdragon 750G chip that supports sub-6GHz 5G.
Additional features that differentiate TCL 20 5G Pro from its more affordable siblings include a 32 MP selfie camera that supports HDR, integrated Qi wireless charging, and TCL NXTVISION 2.0, which enhances the richness and color accuracy of the screen and features an AI – Visual Enhancer to enhance your mobile videos.
Wbut the three new TCL phones look solid and solid they have solid specifications for the price, TCL also provoked one more device than it could be a look at a future phone or possibly TCL’s next folding, which the company said it will arrive sometime before the end of the year.
Designed to display a flexible screen that can be manipulated in multiple ways on a single device, TCL’s Fold ‘n’ Roll concept looks like the latest smartphone / tablet hybrid, capable of unfolding from a typical candy. barra-headset in the form of a large tablet-sized device, before the screen is fully unfolded to display a 10-inch screen with a widescreen aspect ratio suitable for watching movies.
Unfortunately, TCL does not plan to sell the Fold ‘n’ Roll concept, but the device serves to support the company’s ongoing research on flexible display devices, with TCL’s ultimate goal: release an “affordable” folding phone by the end of 2021. Now, it’s not yet known if that means a price of $ 1,000 or less, but with devices like the Galaxy Z Fold 2 are still coming out for $ 1,800 (even after a recent $ 200 price cut), any effort do the less expensive folding phones look good to me.
The TCL 20L, 20L + / 20S, and 20 Pro 5G will go on sale tomorrow in parts of Europe, and U.S. prices and availability are expected to be announced later this spring.
