Back in January, TCL announced that it would be launching some phones this year and it has finally announced the full specifications of its 10-series phones – the TCL 10L, 10 Pro and 10 5G. The trio are fairly similar, pulling from the same bag of specs, but amusingly enough the 5G model isn’t the top model. Let us walk you through the new trio.

TCL 10 Pro
The TCL 10 Pro is the only one with an AMOLED screen – a 6.47-inch panel with 1080p+ resolution. It supports HDR10 and is a Netflix-certified display, so you can watch new content in its full glory. For regular content, there’s an NXTVISION chip that does realtime SDR-to-HDR tone mapping.
The phone is powered by a Snapdragon 675 chipset with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of UFS 2.1 storage, plus a microSD card for up to 256GB more.
The display has curved sides and a teardrop notch that houses a 24MP selfie camera. There’s also an in-display fingerprint reader.
The quad setup on the rear boasts a 64MP main camera (Samsung GW1, 1/1.7”, 0.8µm pixels natively and 1.6µm when shooting 16MP shots with 4-in-1 binning). Next up is a 16MP ultrawide-angle camera (123°). This is followed by a 5MP “low-light camera” with 2.9µm pixels for video, which is unique to the Pro. Finally, there’s a 2MP depth sensor. The main camera can record 4K video at 30fps.
The 4,500mAh battery supports 18W Quick Charge 3.0 (50% charge in 35 minutes). The device will run Android 10 out of the box with TCL customizations on top and will be updated to Android 11 when the time comes.
