Cheaper smartphones have become increasingly popular over the past year, as some of the mobile industry's biggest players like Google, Apple, and Samsung have launched cheaper versions of their high-end smartphones in 2019. Now, electronics maker TCL is taking that idea a step further with its new line of TCL 10 smartphones, all of which will cost less than $500 when they launch.
TCL hasn't revealed all of the details about its new smartphones, but it did say the phone will be available in three variants: the TCL 10 Pro, the TCL 10L, and the TCL 5G. The 10 Pro appears to be the flagship version of the phone, while the TCL 10L is a budget option and the 5G variant is designed to be compatible with next-generation 5G networks.
The TCL 10 Pro, despite its cheap price, looks like it's fit to compete with high-end mobile devices like the $1,000 iPhone 11 Pro and $900 Samsung Galaxy S10. It has a curved, borderless AMOLED screen made by TCL with no "notch" cutout, a quadruple rear camera setup, facial recognition, and an in-display fingerprint reader.
TCL hasn't announced the full specifications yet, but the phone feels like it's around the same size as Samsung's 6.1-inch Galaxy S10. You'll also notice there's a small cutout for the front-facing camera, also similar to the Galaxy S10.The launch comes as smartphones have become increasingly expensive in recent years.
