It’s a busy one for TCL at this year’s MWC 2024, as the company showcased the remainder of its 50 series. The TCL 50 SE and the TCL 50 5G are new entry-level smartphones, aiming to deliver solid experience to those on a budget.
The 50 SE is built around a large 6.78-inch IPS LCD panel with FHD+ resolution, ticking at 90 Hz. The MediaTek Helio G88 chip is running the show paired with 4GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage in the base version or with 6GB RAM and 256GB storage. You can add more storage via microSD cards of up to 2TB.
There are two cameras on the back – 50MP f/1.8, 1/2.76″ main shooter joined by a 2MP dedicated macro camera. At the front is an 8MP f/2.0 shooter.
The handset boots Android 14 out of the box and TCL promises an upgrade to Android 15 when it comes around. The battery is 5,010 mAh and supports 33W fast charging (50% in 30 minutes).
The TCL 50 5G sports a similar design but houses a smaller 6.6-inch 90 Hz IPS display, albeit at a lower HD+ resolution. The MediaTek MT6835 SoC sits behind the wheel with the same memory configurations.
The camera setup also consists of two shooters – the same 50MP main one but this time aided by a 5MP f/2.2 snapper. The 50 5G also borrows the selfie camera from its sibling.
The 50 5G also runs on Android 14 and TCL promises two OS upgrades on this one. The same 5,010 mAh battery pack is on board, but caps the charging speed to 18W.
Both the TCL 50 SE and 50 5G are have a very affordable MSRP of € 149.
TCL also revealed a duo of TWS buds – the TCL MoveAudio Neo and the MoveAudio Go. Both use the same 10mm dynamic drivers, but this is where the similarities end. The Neo pair has a bigger case with a 760 mAh battery, while the earbuds themselves house a 45 mAh battery each. The Neo pair settles for a 500/50 mAh combo. The Neo model also packs ANC, giving it the edge.
