TCL 10L, TCL 10 Pro, and TCL 10 5G officially launched

TCL-10L.jpg


The TCL 10 5G shares some of its features with the TCL 10L but adds a more powerful processor, better cameras, and a bigger battery. So you get the same 6.53-inch FHD+ display and display chip. The processor inside is a Snapdragon 765G and it is paired with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of expandable storage (1TB max.). The primary rear camera is a 64MP f/1.9 camera. There is an 8MP f/2.2 ultrawide angle camera, a 5MP macro camera, and a 2MP depth sensor. Its selfie camera is a 16MP sensor.

The TCL 10 Pro makes up for its higher price tag with a 6.47-inch curved AMOLED FHD+ display. However, it ditches the punch-hole for a notch. Just like its siblings, it too comes with a dedicated display engine for real-time SDR to HDR conversion.
There is a Snapdragon 675 processor inside along with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of UFS 2.1 storage. There is a MicroSD card slot, so owners can add up to an extra 256GB. There is a 64MP GW1 camera on the back along with a 16MP f/2.4 ultrawide angle camera, a 5MP macro camera, and a 2MP f/1.8 depth sensor. The selfie camera is a 24MP sensor.
