As you would expect from the name, the Max Tab is the premium offering. You can expect a 10.36-inch FHD + screen, support for the TCL pen, a 13-megapixel rear camera, an 8-megapixel front shooter, and an 8,000 mAh battery. There's no word on the chipset and other details, but TCL's Tab Max device will be available in cellular and Wi-Fi variants for € 299 (~ $ 353) and € 249 (~ $ 294), respectively, from Q4 2020 $).
The TCL 10 Tab Mid (see above) is the cheaper slate with an 8-inch FHD + IPS display, a Snapdragon 665 chipset, an 8-megapixel rear-view camera, a 5-megapixel selfie snapper and a 5,500 mAh battery. Expect € 229 on the tablet when it goes on sale in the fourth quarter.
The company also announced its NXT Paper technology for displays. Specifically, this technology sees a reflective screen that is used to "convert" natural light for less eye strain. According to TCL, NXT Paper offers a "paper-like visual experience" that is over 65% more efficient than an LCD screen.
The company says this technology was developed specifically for larger screens and is "soon" expecting a commercial product with the technology. Unfortunately, Tab Max and Tab Mid don't include these ads.
TCL Move Time family watch
The Chinese manufacturer also launched the Move Time Family Watch (see above), which offers a case that is clearly Apple Watch-like. The core specs include a 1.41-inch 320 x 360 AMOLED screen, Snapdragon Wear 2500 chipset, 512 MB RAM and 4 GB storage.

Other notable features include interchangeable wristbands, cellular support via nano-SIM or eSIM, support for calls, an AI voice assistant, and a proprietary operating system.
The TCL Move Time Family Watch also offers familiar wearable features such as heart rate monitoring, sleep monitoring, step tracking, fall detection and IP67 water / dust resistance.
TCL Move Audio S200
Another product that the brand announced at IFA 2020 are the TCL Move Audio S200 true wireless earbuds. The new Buds take the AirPod route and offer a charging case similar to Vivo's TWS offerings. Expect the earbuds to last for three and a half hours while playing music and for up to 23 hours with the help of the charging case. Otherwise, the new accessories also offer Google Fast Pair 2.0, voice control, Bluetooth 5 and IP54 resistance. Expect € 99 for the new earbuds.
Finally, the company also reiterated its stance on a rollable smartphone. We used a hands-on dummy back in March, and you can read our impressions here.
