■About TCL Communication
TCL Communication designs, manufactures and markets an expanding portfolio of mobile devices and services worldwide through a comprehensive, multi-brand portfolio that includes TCL, Alcatel and BlackBerry branded products. Additionally, TCL Communication is the brand owner, R&D developer and manufacturing partner of Palm branded devices. The company’s products are sold in more than 160 countries throughout North America, Latin America, Europe, the Middle East, Africa and Asia Pacific. Incorporated in Hong Kong, TCL Communication operates its own manufacturing in China as well as global R&D centers.
Starting in 2019, TCL Communication began rolling out TCL-branded smartphone under its own name. As a first step, “PLEX” was released, which boasts overwhelming cost performance, in Japan at the end of last year. Secondly, the mid-range “TCL 10 Pro” was released in May 2020.
■About TCL 10 5G
Like the TCL 10 Lite, the TCL 10 5G is an entry-level handset that was announced at CES2020 in Las Vegas in January 2020. TCL 10 5G is loaded with an AI quad camera and localized for Japan supporting 5G bands of KDDI, SoftBank and 4G/LTE bands of KDDI, docomo, SoftBank. Rakuten Mobile is planned to be supported. As an entry-level 5G smartphone powered by Snapdragon 765G, users can enjoy a comfortable smartphone life with ultra-high speed communication.
One of the features of the TCL 10 5G is its display, which, like its predecessors, the PLEX, 10 Pro, and 10 Lite, has a color difference of less than 1 (measured by TCL lab). This is the result of the TCL Corporation technology, which recorded the number one selling LCD TV in North America.
Two colors, “Mercury Gray” and “Chrome Blue”, would be available. Both colors have been finished with holographic processing to give them a premium feel. Both are made of a 3-D back glass with a double-sided glossy finish, providing a natural feel and the best touch feeling.
5G Communication
5G is the fifth generation of mobile communication systems, the next generation of LTE-Advanced. In addition to high speed and high capacity, multiple connections and low latency (real time) have been achieved, making it possible to respond to a wide range of needs from mobile devices to IoT. TCL 10 5G would be available in standalone (SA) configurations supporting increased data bandwidth and connection reliability to deliver uninterrupted, revolutionary speeds to connect. Users could experience fast streaming, downloads, enhanced AI capabilities and high-precision GPS.
6.53 inch FHD+ display
The TCL 10 5G’s display is a 6.53-inch FHD+ display (1080 x 2340) with a 91% screen-to-body ratio, thanks in part to the use of an embedded selfie camera. The display’s color difference (∆E) is less than 1, the best in the industry (as measured by TCL lab), providing a more realistic visual experience.
Real-time display optimization process
In addition to playing back “HDR10” content, the TCL 10 5G includes the ability to remaster regular SDR video and automatically up-convert it to HDR-like contrast and color.
AI quad camera
The TCL 10 5G has a powerful A I quad camera, with a 64-megapixel main camera that recognizes scenes and subjects to capture the best photos and videos, a second camera with a 2-megapixel depth-sensing camera, and a third camera with a 5-megapixel macro lens to capture details and the fourth camera is a 118-degree ultra-wide-angle camera with 8-megapixel camera that has a 118-degree field of view.
An embedded 16-megapixel selfie camera is loaded on top of the display with 4-in-1 big-pixel technology (technology that automatically fuses four small 1.0-μm pixels into a larger 2.0-μm pixel) for brighter selfies.
Equipped with customizable “Smart Key”
The “Smart Key” on the side of the device allows you to assign each action to a single press, double press, or long press and call up any action.
Super-Bluetooth that can connect up to 4 audio devices
You can connect to four audio devices simultaneously via Bluetooth for immersive stereo sound and sharing with multiple people.

The TCL 10 5G is the entry-level model in 5G smartphones and will also be compatible with Rakuten SIM cards, supporting the cheapest 5G in the industry.
We can expect most of the new smartphones to support 5G in the future, but the TCL 10 5G is an affordable product that can easily experience 5G.
