TCL Steps Up Smartphone Presence at IFA Touting New Range's Camera Features

TCL pushed its NXTVISION display and camera technology at IFA Thursday, bowing the Plex smartphone it’s using as a starting statement piece to solidify its position in the category. TCL has sold Blackberry-based smartphones (see 1904190015), but the 6.5-inch $360 Plex is the first of a range of mobile devices it will release next year, “including 5G products and devices with foldable displays,” said Peter Lee, general manager-global sales and marketing. The Plex, due in Europe this fall, uses standard dynamic range-to-HDR real-time conversion to enhance contrast, color, highlights and shadows in photos, said the company. Its primary 48-megapixel camera uses a Sony sensor with 4K recording function and a separate dedicated video camera with 2-MP 2.9-micrometer low-light sensor for night shooting, it said. It also has a 16-megapixel, 123-degree wide-angle camera and a 24-megapixel front selfie camera.
