It may not be the great in-person event it has been for decades, but for some businesses, IFA week is still an opportune time to flood the world with technology-related news and product announcements. One example was the torrent of new Intel-powered computers that were announced yesterday, including some that boast the new Intel Evo branding for mobile devices. Now TCL is making its own little flood with a bevy of new products, like two new tablets, a smartwatch, and interestingly, a new type of e-paper display.
The TCL 10 TabMid and 10 TabMax tablets aren’t exactly that impressive in light of the recent Galaxy Tab S7 announcement. However, not everyone will be able to afford it and these two inexpensive tablets are meant to fill that price gap. Powered by a MediaTek Helio P22T (TabMax) and Snapdragon 665 (TabMid), the tablets are powerful enough to get things done with 4GB of RAM and 64GB of storage. While the TCL 10 TabMid’s 8.0-inch 1920 × 1200 display looks great for portable video combo, the TCL 10 TabMax’s larger 10.36-inch Full HD + display and Stylus pen offer one more use case. productive.
Move Audio, similar to AirPods, isn’t the only new wearable from TCL this year. It is joined by the TCL Move Watch which, to no one’s surprise, looks a lot like an Apple Watch. It doesn’t have any of the premium features of the latter, of course, but it does offer the basics of health and activity monitoring, 4G connectivity, and two-way calling for just EUR 229 ($ 270).
Perhaps the most interesting in TCL’s line of mobile phones is the one that cannot be purchased outright. Almost in response to the growing number of color e-paper displays, TCL’s NXTPAPER proposes a new type of display that sits somewhere between e-paper and LCD displays, combining the bright, high-contrast and flicker-free experience of LCD screen with the thinness and battery efficiency of e-paper.
Both the TCL 10 TabMax and the TCL 10 TabMid will launch sometime in the fourth quarter for € 299 and € 229, respectively. The TCL NXTPAPER is designed for larger displays, but the company has yet to announce definitive plans to install it on a commercial device.
