The TCL 20L and 20L+ are the more budget-friendly offerings in the lineup. Barring few differences like the primary camera sensor, RAM, and color options, both devices are identical to one another in terms of the hardware specifications. On both phones, you get a 6.67-inch LCD, Qualcomm’s Snapdragon 662 SoC, a 5,000mAh battery, a side-mounted fingerprint scanner, and Android 11.

In terms of cameras, the TCL 20L has a 48MP primary sensor, while on the TCL 20L+, you get a 64MP shooter. The rest of the sensors are similar on both phones, including an 8MP ultra-wide shooter, a 2MP macro lens, a 2MP depth sensor, and a 16MP selfie shooter.

The TCL 20L and 20L+ will be available in the UK, Italy, and Portugal starting tomorrow at €229 and €269, respectively. Both phones will be launching in more markets soon. The TCL 20L comes in Eclipse Black and Luna Blue colors, while the TCL 20L+ comes in either Milky Way Gray or North Star Blue.

TCL Fold ‘n Roll

TCL is no stranger to the concept of rollable and foldable tech, having previously showcased its knack for unconventional form factors in the TCL Rollable Display concept phone and the tri-folding Concept phone.

Alongside the three new TCL 20 series devices, TCL showed off another new concept phone that’s unlike anything we have seen before. While we have seen our fair share of foldable and rollable concepts before, this new TCL concept phone, dubbed Fold ‘n Roll, combines both form factors into one package, allowing the device to become a phone, phablet, and tablet on the fly.

The concept phone utilizes a flexible display developed by their partly-owned display-making subsidiary, CSOT. It uses a wraparound display similar to the Huawei Mate X with a Butterfly Hinge that we saw on the TCL tri-folding phone. Unlike the Galaxy Z Fold 2, which folds more like a book, the entire display on TCL’s concept phone is exposed. In the folded state, you get a 6.87-inch display which can be transformed into an 8.87-inch display by unfolding the panel. This can be further extended to a 10-inch panel with a press of a button. You can see how the device transforms from a phone to phablet and then into a tablet in the demo embedded below.
