TCL had been a quiet player in TVs for a couple years, but that changed in 2017 when the brand firmly established itself with good quality picture at lower prices — they can’t compete technically with the likes of Samsung, LG, and Sony, but when almost as good is hundreds of dollars cheaper, it makes you […]
TCL isn’t just about tech in 2017. Their new line of televisions include the C Series sets, which combine the company’s flagship tech with elegant, contemporary design. The TCL C Series TVs are the thinnest TCL has to offer, and while the company has made some sacrifices to get the sets that thin, that premium design combined […]
Want to get your hands on that new Nokia Android phone? The Nokia phone brand, revived by newcomer HMD, is entering the Android market with the Nokia 6. It’s now finally headed to the United States courtesy of the Amazon Prime Exclusives Phone program, which offers phones for a discount in exchange for putting ads […]
TCL did a solid job of making high-quality 4K TVs affordable and attractive last year, and this year looks to be no different. They’ve kept up their partnership with Roku to make their OS native to the TV, but this year TCL has added high-end HDR in Dolby Vision, adding a little future-proofing into this […]
We’d say that BlackBerry is back, but the truth is they never left. The one-time smartphone king has been on the ropes for years now, but it hasn’t been for lack of trying. The Z30 of 2014 featured compatibility with Android apps, the Priv of 2015 switched to Android and brought back the physical keyboard in […]
Last year, we learned that BlackBerry would stop making their own hardware and put more resources into developing their security software. Did that mean no more BlackBerry phones? Far from it! Earlier this year, BlackBerry revealed a business partnership with hardware company TCL (one that probably dates back to last year) while teasing a new […]
Last year, we saw BlackBerry release one last phone, the DTEK50, before announcing that the company would no longer design and manufacture its own hardware, opting to focus on software and security. When the DTEK50 was released, we (along with many others) noticed a striking resemblance to the Alcatel Idol 4 and 4S, a phone […]
We’ve been big fans of TCL televisions lately, and there’s little wonder why — as it becomes cheaper to manufacture high-resolution LCD displays, it’s become easier for smaller companies to compete with giants like Samsung and LG by producing TVs almost as good for a fraction of the price. The competition is only heating up […]
This week, Roku is pushing out Roku OS 7.5, the latest update to their set-top box and smart TV operating system. Some features will be limited to smart TVs running the Roku OS, like the 50″ 4k Roku TV from TCL that we looked at not too long ago. The update introduces a couple of […]
When TCL introduced their 17″ Xess tablet earlier this year, it was meant to be a family communication hub ideal for the kitchen. It could be used by family members or roommates to leave notes and reminders for each other, and parents got the benefit of free Nickelodeon shows for their kids. But, family hub […]
When TCL announced their 4K UHD TCL Roku TV series at CES, we were super psyched. An affordable 4K TV that comes running arguably the best video streaming platform out of the box? How could we not be excited! I own the 55″ TCL Roku TV model that came out in 2014, and while it does […]
No slowing down for the world’s largest technology expo — one week and more than 170,000 people later, CES 2016 has passed leaving far more tech than anyone could possibly cover in its wake. We did our best, and good thing, because like always, there were loads of terrific new products on the way in […]
