TCL at IFA 2020 announced a handful of new mobile devices and accessories, including two new Android tablets, a pair of truly wireless earbuds, and a smartwatch. The company also unveiled a new display technology that’s an alternative to color e-ink. Here’s everything you need to know.
TCL 10 TabMax
The TCL 10 TabMax is the highest end of the two tablets the company announced today. The tablet features a 10.36-inch display at Full HD+ resolution, 8.3mm narrow bezels, an 8,000mAh battery, an 8MP front-facing camera, a 13MP rear-facing camera, Android 10, 64GB of expandable storage, and comes in Wi-Fi and LTE models. The SoC seems to be MediaTek’s Helio P22T. According to TCL, the TabMax features “intelligent eye protection,” so you can use the device longer without straining your eyes. The device also alerts the user when they’re too close (within 25cm) of the screen, supports Google’s new Kids Mode, and acts as a Google Assistant smart display. You can use the company’s “ultra-low latency” Stylus pen to draw or write on the tablet.
The TCL 10 TabMax is set to launch in Europe Q4 for €299 and €249 for the LTE and Wi-Fi only models respectively. It will be available in a dark blue color.

TCL’s new MoveTime Family Watch smartwatch is designed to keep seniors connected and safe. The watch features hands-free two-way calling, automatic fall detection, heart rate monitoring, and medication reminders.

NXTPAPER
Finally, TCL also teased new its new display technology known as NXTPAPER. The company said the new technology is the result of two years of product research and design, providing users with a paper-like experience in full color. “When compared to traditional e-ink, TCL NXTPaper has 25 percent higher contrast for better viewing and when compared to a typical LCD panel, TCL NXTPaper is up to 36 percent thinner creating a device that can be much slimmer and lighter,” the company said in a press release.
NXTPaper technology was designed for large format devices, including tablets, and the company plans to bring the technology to a future device.
