TCL 5G Phones

About TCL

TCL is a Chinese company that’s probably most known for making televisions, but it also makes various other products, including smartphones.

Most of its smartphone work is actually carried out under different brand names, including BlackBerry and Palm, but there are some TCL-branded phones too, and these tend to be affordable and good value.

Which TCL phones support 5G?

TCL makes a handful of 5G phones, including the TCL 10 5G, TCL 20 5G, TCL 20 Pro 5G, and TCL 20 R 5G.

Which 5G TCL phone should I choose?

Most of TCL’s 5G phones hover around the mid-range, so they tend to have a lot in common, but there’s still some variety, with the TCL 20 R 5G being a relatively affordable 5G option, while the TCL 20 Pro 5G is a relatively premium choice. So whether you pick one of them or something that sits in between depends on what you want from your phone.

TCL in summary

And while TCL itself isn’t a huge name in phones, its work on handsets from the BlackBerry and Palm brands show it has experience and is a company you can trust to make decent products.
