Popular Chinese TV maker TCL has entered the smartphone business by launching its first smartphone, TCL Plex, at IFA 2019 in Berlin. Though TCL has prior experience working on smartphones for other brands like Blackberry and Alcatel, this marks the official independent entry of the brand.
The smartphone packs a 6.53-inch Full HD+ LCD display powered by NXTVISION visual enhancement technology that boosts color and dynamic range of the display. The screen is manufactured by the brand itself, thanks to TCL’s expertise in manufacturing TV displays. There is a hole-punch cut-out in the top-left of the screen for housing the front camera.
There will be 6GB of RAM coupled with 128GB internal storage which can be further expanded by using a microSD card. In terms of software, the handset runs on TCL UI based on Android Pie.
TCL Plex will be available to purchase in Obsidian Black and Opal White color variants and is priced at €329(Rs. 26,000). In terms of availability, the device will be available by the end of the year in Europe. There is no information about the availability of the handset in other markets as of now.
