The renowned Chinese screen manufacturer, TCL, has presented a new mid-range-premium mobile phone at # IFA19 in Berlin : the TCL Plex , which incorporates the vast experience of the number 1 brand of televisions in China. It is therefore a terminal that places great emphasis on the screen , even having a dedicated processor for it, but more importantly, it is the fact that it remains faithful to the philosophy of the brand, which is known as Display Greatness . However, the display is not the only thing that defines the TCL Plex, so it is worth getting to know it thoroughly.

This is the TCL Plex and its innovative screen: # IFA19: TCL Plex, a mid-range with great emphasis on the screen

The TCL Plex incorporates a 6.53-inch TCL Dotch LCD screen , which offers an FHD + resolution of 2,340 x 1,080 pixels and a 19.5: 9 aspect ratio. The panel has a density of 395 pixels per inch and exhibits a hole for the selfie camera, which is located in the upper left corner.

However, what makes this screen special is the TCL NXTVISION technology , supported in turn by a dedicated Qualcomm Snapdragon processor. Thanks to this combination, it is possible to offer color precision never seen before on a mobile phone and the HDR standard is reached, which in return provides amplified colors, greater contrast, brighter highlights and darker, but well-defined shadows.

Speaking of HDR , the terminal additionally incorporates a function capable of converting SDR video to HDR in real time. TCL also cares about our eyesight, which is why they have included a blue light filter (Eye Comfort), adaptive brightness tone function and reading mode. The latter offers a viewing experience that resembles paper.

The design of the screen itself is also not far behind, with extremely narrow bezels and 2D edge enhancement. And speaking of the design of the terminal itself, it consists of a holographic finish and vacuum coating along with an OPVD film on the second surface. Plus, it comes in two stylish color options: Opal White and Obsidian Black.

Hardware and Features

It’s not all screen, and the TCL Plex doesn’t skimp on the other departments. In this sense, the device is powered by a Qualcomm Snapdragon 675 chip , which is backed by an Adreno 612 GPU along with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage type UFS2.1. It is also powered by a 3,820mAh battery compatible with Qualcomm’s Quick Charge 3.0 , which can charge 50% of its capacity in just 32 minutes.

In the software section, the TCL Plex works under the TCL UI based on Android 9 Pie . Also, a guaranteed upgrade to Android 10 is promised via FOTA.

It is also worth noting that it has a Smart Pa audio chip and dual noise-canceling microphone.

Cameras

The cameras are perhaps the second biggest virtue of the TCL Plex, so we can expect something good. Going into details, it is equipped with a triple rear camera, where the main sensor is a 48MP Sony IMX582 , the secondary one is a 16MP Samsung S5K3P9 and the tertiary a 2MP OmniVision OV02K. This photo set is capable of near-professional quality photos and 4K 30FPS video shooting, as well as slow motion recording support (720p at 960FPS).

The front camera employs a 24MP sensor with a 5-piece lens , f2.0 aperture, 0.9um pixel size and LCD flash.
