TCL 10 and FOLDABLE First Look! By Joshua Vergara

I'm filming in a hotel room, you know what that means. It's charge of a car. What's going on everybody I'm officially here at CES, 2020, and I already have some stuff to show you now. These are from meetings that happen in the days leading up to the actual show floor, opening that's typically the way that it works, and that also means that schedules get really tight and crazy. So here is a look at TCL stuff and this particular meeting was special because the phones are about to see we're actually not going to be at the booth. So this was a little of an exclusive media.

Look at what is going to be called the TCL 10 series. Now, quick disclaimer. These phones are actually not going to be announced officially announced until Mobile World Congress. What you're looking at here is what the hardware will eventually look like, but the spec sheets and some extra details that you probably really want to know will not be announced until February. But the look of these phones is a story in and of itself.

I will give a few details about each model, but let's go through them. Real, quick. The 10l is going to be on the lower tier relative to the other two devices, and this one does have a glossy back that does shine. Quite nice, you'll see that that camera hump there is pretty pronounced, but you'll also see that there are four cameras there. Now there is some spec about those cameras written right underneath the camera optics I'll show you those in a second on the 10 pro now the 10 pro is the fascinating one, because it has a wonderful sleek look that has a curved AMOLED display and on the back you'll see that that particular camera bump is non-existent.

This is a flush camera module which gives it a really sleek look. The other thing that you'll see is that there's no fingerprint reader on the back. That's because you can surmise that there is an in display fingerprint reader on the pro model, but now we have the 10 5g, the TCL 10 5g. That will be 5g capable and that's fascinating, because the reps override TCL actually told us that this will be rocking a snapdragon 7 series chip and if you kind of look in Qualcomm libraries, only certain 7 Series processors have 5g, so you can do a little of sleuthing on your own there. The 5g model does have this sort of diamond look on the back.

So when you shine a light on it, certain parts of it will reflect, but it does give it a unique look. What's interesting, though, is that, because this is the 5g model, it is considered the most premium one I guess you can translate that to it's the most expensive of the bunch, but the best part is that all of these phones will come in under $500 and will be available in the U. S. in Canada coming soon. However, the main announcement, the official announcement, is, of course, going to happen at Mobile, World Congress, like I, said so pricing and availability.

Aside from what I just said, we don't really have a lot of details on that. I'm going to give you one last look at the camera specs that were written on the actual back of the phone, and you can see what kind of cameras this particular device will have now. You'll, probably get a wide angle on macro lens I do say that dinners a sixty-four megapixel camera on the rear. So you do get a high-resolution camera, but yeah take a look at this. Take for it.

What you will get the final details at Mobile, World Congress, but then let me go ahead and just change it up a little. There was one more device that was on display there, and we had one of the reps. There shouts out to Brad. He was actually demonstrating this foldable prototype. Yes, we did get to play with a foldable from TCL now not to be confused with dragon hinge, which you might remember from last of Mobile World Congress.

This is actually a butterfly hinge. It kind of hardens back to the Galaxy fold in a way it kind of has a couple of those echoes and that's the reason why it's able to be flush when you have it closed, but this is more or less a foldable tablet because, as you can see, there's no screen on the outside. You just get that really awesome diamond backing that you saw on the TCL 10 5g. Now, as you might expect, this is a prototype, so nothing about what we're holding right now is actually final, but this is a proof of concept of that. TCL does have foldable displays and that may or may not include dragon hinge, and now this is being added to that portfolio of foldable displays and, to be honest, I do love the idea of a foldable tablet, because if there's one thing I don't carry with me very often it's a tablet I do understand why a big screen might be really useful, but it's not something.

I even have room for half the time. So while we have foldable phones and foldable is coming out all over the place, a foldable tablet. That's an interesting prospect and if this particular prototype ends up becoming product later on, it's not like it'll be missing features. It does have a bunch of cameras on the back as well. So perhaps your going to have something that's more akin to a phone, but there's not going to be that extra screen on the back, but with all of that said, that was a look at TCL's mobile devices for CES 20/20 TCO has a huge library of stuff, and maybe I'll be able to take a look at other categories from TCL like their TVs and also their audio devices.

But for now this was what we were able to look at during one of our meetings, and these particular phones and devices are not even going to be on the show floor. Booth and you're going to have to wait for more information on all of these things in about a month and a half at Mobile, World, Congress, so I feel pretty privileged to be able to see. All of these, thank you to TCL for letting us be there. For this somewhat exclusive media invites but yeah. That was a look at the TCL 10 that you can actually look forward to here in the US, but also abroad, as TCL has plenty of other markets where these phones tend to be, but with all that said, I'm going and call it on this one.

This is one of the first videos from CES 2020. You can look forward to even more. We have a lot of really fun stuff planned for this particular show here in Vegas, so yeah we're going to go ahead and call it on this one. Thank you so much for watching.
