TCL has announced a new slate of devices and technology at IFA, Berlin’s tech trade show.
The first thing that TCL revealed was its upcoming NXTPaper technology. This is similar to e-ink and offers no screen flicker or blue light. Additionally, NXTpaper re-purposes natural light without being harmful.
The NXTPaper tech is a third thinner, lighter, 65 percent more power-efficient than a standard LCD panel, and also offers video playback. TCL will launch its first device with NXTPaper in Q4 of 2020.
Next are the new upcoming tablets, the TCL 10 Max and TCL 10 Mid. The TCL 10 Max is a 10.4-inch tablet with a 1200 x 2000 pixel resolution, whereas the 10 Mid sports an 8-inch screen.
The 10 Max includes a stylus, an 8,000mAh battery, an 8-megapixel selfie and a 13-megapixel rear-facing shooter. This tablet also features a sensor that will notify the user that it’s too close if they have the screen within 25cm of their face. Finally, the 10 Max features a Mediatek processor. The Wi-Fi-only variant costs €249 ($386 CAD), and the 4G model costs €299 ($464 CAD) pricing.
There’s also a ‘Kids mode’ that’s more user friendly, and can work as a smart display integrated with Google Assistant.
The TCL 10 Mid doesn’t come with a stylus, but it does work with one. Additionally, it features an 8-inch HD+ screen and e-reader mode. There’s also a 5-megapixel selfie shooter, and on the back, there’s an 8-megapixel sensor, as well as a 5,500mAh battery. Further, the Mid features a Qualcomm 665 Snapdragon chipset.
