TCL has done the unthinkable at CES 2024. It has announced seven new smartphones to kick off the new year. The TCL 50 Series is the company’s fifth generation of smartphones and includes everything from cost-effective 5G devices to all-new TCL NxtPaper models. This isn’t the first time TCL has created a NxtPaper smartphone, but it is the first time we’re seeing them come to the U.S.

TCL says the TCL 50 Series represents its dedication to providing users with various options and a satisfying experience. The lineup features numerous advancements, including an e-reader mode for book lovers and speedy 5G connectivity for those often on the move. Every model in the series has been crafted to offer a smooth entertainment experience, effective productivity, and a comfortable user experience.

The TCL 50 XL NxtPaper 5G and TCL 50 XE NxtPaper 5G are the first smartphones with TCL NxtPaper display technology to be released for the U.S. market. This advanced display technology offers an e-paper-like display that functions like a traditional LCD screen, providing users with a unique visual experience.

Despite their paper-like appearance, TCL NxtPaper devices offer vibrant colors and high resolution. The TCL 50 XL NxtPaper 5G and TCL 50 XE NxtPaper 5G also have dual speakers to provide a natural and comfortable audio-visual experience.

The TCL 50 XL 5G boasts a 6.8-inch FHD+ 120Hz display, dual speakers with DTS sound, and 8GB RAM that can be expanded for an even smoother and more immersive experience. With NxTurbo technology, this phone is designed to run seamlessly.

It also sports a 5,010mAh battery, making it perfect for people with an active lifestyle who need a phone to keep up with their demands.

The TCL 50 XE 5G is an excellent smartphone option with a 6.6-inch HD+ 90Hz display and dual speakers to provide an excellent viewing and listening experience. With its 50MP triple camera, you can snap clear and high-quality photos. It also has 8GB RAM, which should ensure smooth and efficient performance.

The TCL NxTurbo technology powers the device, while the 5,010mAh battery allows for extended use without compromising performance.

The TCL 50 LE offers a 6.6-inch HD+ 90Hz display and dual speakers, providing users with a comfortable viewing experience. The device also features a 13MP hybrid camera and TCL NxTurbo technology.

With a 4,000mAh battery, 4GB RAM, and 64GB of storage, it looks like a solid option for those looking for a reliable smartphone without spending an arm and a leg.

All of the above five phones are confirmed for release in the U.S. Additionally, TCL is rounding out the 50 Series with the TCL 50 SE and TCL 50 5G for availability in other markets.

Prices and release dates for the seven new TCL phones have yet to be announced, though TCL should offer specifics in the coming weeks and months.

6 excellent iPhone apps that I wish were available on Android

For the past 15 years, the way we think about and use technology has been completely reshaped. What was once a hardware-first industry quickly became a software-first one, and this radical evolution of technology can be traced back to one pivotal moment. In 2009, Apple debuted the iPhone 3G and the first App Store. This launch ushered in a new era: the smartphone, complete with apps. It also debuted one of the best commercials, complete with a catchphrase that is sometimes still used today: There’s an app for that.

For many years, the iPhone had a plethora of apps that were not available on Android. While most of these are now available cross-platform, not every developer has embraced the billions of potential customers who don’t have an iPhone. Even now, some apps launch first on iOS and can take months or years to launch on Android.

I traveled 8,000 miles to get an Android phone unlike any I’ve used before

The U.S. smartphone market is a well-known entity in 2024. Apple dominates the flagship space with the iPhone, Samsung's Galaxy S handsets are a reliable force every year, and Google's Pixel phones continue improving. But what about budget phones? There are some decent choices from Google, Motorola, and OnePlus, but your options are limited.

It's a trusty, if somewhat unexciting, swath of smartphones, especially when you get a glimpse at what's happening in other parts of the world. On a recent trip to India with MediaTek to see the company's presence in the Indian tech market firsthand, I was given the Lava Agni 3 — a new smartphone release from the India-based company Lava.

Google just announced Android 16. Here’s everything new

No, that headline isn't a typo. A little over a month after Android 15 was released to the masses in October, Google has already announced Android 16 and begun rolling out its first developer beta of the newest Android version.

If this seems like a much earlier release than usual, that's because it is. We typically expect the first developer beta of the next Android update to arrive in February. For Android 16, however, Google has pushed the timeline up by a few months and launched Android 16 Developer Preview 1 in mid-November.
Why Android 16 is launching so much earlier
