News Releases

Smartphones built for creating and consuming content at a great price head to the U.S.

BARCELONA, Feb. 27, 2023 /PRNewswire/ -- TCL, a pioneer in display technology and affordable, smart connected experiences, announced today at Mobile World Congress the addition of four new 40 Series smartphone models, designated for sale in the U.S. The TCL 40 X 5G, TCL 40 XE 5G, and TCL 40 XL will soon to be available through mobile carriers and retailers nationwide.

Last month during CES, TCL heralded the global launch of its 40 Series smartphones to critical acclaim, with the TCL 40 SE winning best of show from Digital Trends. The models are designed for entertainment and immersive streaming – sporting a widescreen aspect ratio and a near bezel-free design. The HD+ displays range up to 6.75-inches and include TCL's proprietary NXTVISION delivers a theater like experience that fits in your pocket.

"Our mission remains to democratize technology and deliver the best mobile products at a great value and the TCL 40 XE 5G is the most affordable 5G phone we have ever released," said Stefan Streit, CMO, TCL Mobile. "The 40 Series combines the innovative features like NXTurbo, that enthusiasts covet most, at a price that makes sense for every consumer."

Using octa-core high performance processors and Helio or MediaTek chipsets, the TCL 40 Series exceeds the expectations of the most demanding streamers and gamers. NXTurbo's AI technology improves image rendering allowing these devices to stream HD motion graphics and video without lag. TCL NXTVISION enables users to personalize their on-screen experience, matching performance to the content being viewed. Whether using Game Visual, Image or Video mode, the technology delivers superior contrast and sharpness – all while helping to protect eye-health with proprietary blue-light reduction.

Bolstering TCL's mission to bring 5G to all, the TCL 40 XE 5G and TCL 40 X 5G models help users enjoy ultra-fast connectivity for high-speed downloads, video streaming and more. The advanced 7nm technology, Octa-core CPU and 4GB of RAM ensures high performance for multi-tasking on the go.

The 40 Series will not disappoint content-creators with integrated cameras ranging up to 50MP – including triple AI-powered software to shoot crisp, clear images and videos. Optimize landscapes with AI Auto-Enhancement or capture tiny masterpieces with Macro Camera. And never miss the perfect shot, regardless of the environment thanks to smart features like Night mode and Steady Snap.

The phones' minimalist designs are attractive and intuitive, with some models integrating dual stereo speakers and 5000 mAh batteries to enhance every experience without concern for running out of juice.
