In 2019, we’ve finally seen
the first foldable phones in the form of the Samsung Galaxy Fold and the Huawei
Mate X, along with the later launched Motorola RAZR 2019. Now, albeit the three
handset have suffered some issues as far as build quality and availability, the
foldable phone trend is here to stay.
The proof of that arrives in
the first days of 2020. Chinese electronics company – TCL – did indeed already
unveil their foldable phone at the CES 2020 taking place in Las Vegas – meet
the TCL Foldable. The TCL Foldable comes with a large 7.2-inch panel that can
be folded into a smaller – yet not too pocket-friendly – device. We call it
“device” as on the outside we do not find any secondary display; thus you
cannot actually use it when folded.
Additionally, TCL did not
reveal much data about the display, such as panel type or resolution. What we
know is that it’s covered in a layer of plastic, just like most foldable phones
on the market. As far as the outer shell is concerned, we find a beautiful
emerald color back cover with a prism pattern. On the back cover we then find a
total of four cameras. Once again, TCL did not reveal any specific data, but we
can assume the presence of a high-resolution main sensor 48MP / 64MP, a
secondary ultra wide angle lens, a third telephoto camera and either a macro or
depth sensor.
Finally, the company claims
the TCL Foldable will be officially launched this year, but we still have no
info about pricing or supposed availability
