TCL sets date for MWC event, new own-branded and Alcatel phones incoming

TCL and is heading to Barcelona to introduce its latest smartphones and technologies at MWC 2020. The company sent out invitations to media all over the world, revealing it will have a press conference on February 2020 at exactly 18:00 local time.

The event is taking place on the Saturday before the Congress, meaning once the exhibition is in full swing from February 24 to February 27, visitors will be among the first people to get their hands on the new TCL and Alcatel smartphones.

Earlier this month TCL introduced its own-branded smartphones that are in the premium segment. The TCL 10 5G and TCL 10L will have flat displays, while the TCL 10 Pro is expected to have a panel with curved edges on the side.

All three units will have four shooters on the back, lined up horizontally. We expect them to have the full range of upper-medium chipsets, including the Snapdragon 865 in the TCL 10 Pro.

During CES 2020 we also saw four Alcatel devices - Alcatel 3L, Alcatel 1S, Alcatel 1V, and Alcatel 1B - all with a modest price tags between $65 and $165. We are yet to see if the company will also add more devices to the Alcatel range or will limit itself to detailing the TCL 10 lineup - its CES teaser didn't give us much.
