As stated in CNN Greece Company executives, the goal is to offer affordable technological innovation without necessarily being the first manufacturer to do so. And this despite the fact that they have quite a few technological innovations. For example, TCL introduced a smartphone with a foldable screen, but did not release it, waiting for the conditions to “ripe” in order to rush to present a device with a particularly affordable price.

The corresponding example could be the augmented reality glasses that he presented in Barcelona. interest with Raineo The X2 was mostly about the apps part where the TCL folks show an app that’s auto-translated from Chinese to English! That is, your interlocutor was speaking in Chinese, and you saw the English translation on the screen of the glasses! There was a slight delay, but the result was absolutely amazing.

The series has two models with the difference that one of them uses a screen with technology NXTPAPER 2.0 Which provides great brightness and better viewing from any point. This technology is one of TCL’s great assets and it is possible to see it in smartphones in the near future, as there are the relatively original models we saw in Barcelona.

Fast shipping

Among the new smartphone presentations in Barcelona was the Realme GT3. new “MainRealme stands out for one reason: it offers 240W fast charging! This is the fastest charge we’ve seen yet on a mass-produced smartphone as the manufacturer claims a full charge cycle (from 0% to 100% battery) takes just 9.5 minutes!

From there, the device has a noticeable notification system on the back and is generally one of the big “bets” of realme, which people have shown they want to give their brand an extra boost by betting from now on on innovative features.

Folding devices

Of course, there are other suggestions. like her models Lenovo With rollable screens. Lenovo has created a foldable screen smartphone and laptop, it’s in prototype form but we’ve had a chance to see Barcelona and get a taste of what’s to come.
