Hasta La Gadget!

TCL has just released a new volley of TCL 30 Series smartphones priced between 139 and 249 Euros during MWC 2022, along with other products such as tablets, portable WIFI, and 4G Routers.

The smartphones are probably the most interesting products to consumers. All are powered by MediaTek, the #1 provider of Android smartphone SoC chips (by units) globally.

The new phones are the TCL 30 5G (€249), TCL 30+ (€199), TCL 30 (€179), TCL 30 SE (€149), and TCL 30 E (€139).

That seems like a lot of models within a tight price range, but in the real world, they won’t all be available at the same retailers, and some would probably land under some exclusive deals, so you won’t have to pull your hair to choose between them.

From what I can tell, TCL is trying to keep the user experience as uniform as possible, but of course, performance, whether speed or Camera, should be expected to be proportional to pricing.

With our CAMERA HW benchmark, we’ve demonstrated that camera performance mainly depends on the camera hardware. The price is often your first indicator in that context as it influences the components’ prices.

Technologically, the TCL 30 5G is the most interesting and seems to bring a lot of value at this ~250 Euros price point. My general advice is to get the most expensive one you can afford (easy, right?) as the value seems pretty proportional to the price.

Since that phone is certified as “Android Enterprise” ready, some of you might get your company to pay for it. It’s worth checking with your IT department as it may be one of the best options for the price.

All these phones have large screens, which means having enough room for a 5010 mAh large battery in the chassis. Combined with the power-efficient processor, you should be in for excellent battery life.

At the moment, the launch concerns Europe, but you can expect to see some of these in the rest of the world soon, so keep an eye out for them.

TCL 30 Series Smartphones Get New Affordable Models

Apple’s iPhone SE is meant to be a cheaper alternative to the company’s flagship handsets. It is currently priced at $400 which while cheaper, isn’t exactly cheap per se, especially when you have phones from Xiaomi, Poco, and Samsung that are priced below that, but apparently that’s something the iPhone SE 5G could address.

According to a report from Investor’s Business Daily, they cite Loop Capital Markets analyst John Donovan who claims to have heard rumors that the 2022 iPhone SE could be priced as low as $300, making it almost $100 cheaper compared to the previous-gen model. Plus, the rumors claiming that the 2022 iPhone SE could come with 5G makes it an incredible bargain if it’s true.

While it is still more expensive compared to other budget brands out there, it could still prove to be enticing enough to make some customers switch over from Android, especially if price was one of the main reasons holding them back over the years from getting an iPhone. Of course, these are just rumors so take it with a grain of salt for now.

For all we know, Apple could possibly maintain the $399 price tag, or given the rumored upgrades could actually end up pricing it higher, but we’ll just have to wait and see.

At MWC 2022, Samsung announced new Galaxy Book2 laptops at multiple price points, including the Galaxy Book2 ($749.99), Galaxy Book2 360 ($899.99), Galaxy Book2 Pro ($1049.99) and Pro 360 ($1249.99). Finally, there’s the Galaxy Book2 Business $1,999.99.

The Galaxy Book Pro 360 is exciting as it exists in both 13.3 and 15.6 inches displays with 360-degrees hinges for a flat tablet utilization.

The included digitizer Pen would be exceptionally comfortable to use on the 15.6-inch display, but you might appreciate the compactness of the 13.3 model as well.

And you can sketch anywhere, including outdoors, thanks to the very bright 500 NITs display panel, which is much improved from last year.

The Super AMOLED’s FHD resolution might not be super-impressive, but the image quality should be top-notch. Most people don’t require a 3K (or 4K) display, but FHD is very decent for these sizes.

The chassis is skinny, so there is no full-size USB port. However, you’ll find three USB-C ones, including one Thunderbolt 4 one that can connect to a high-speed dock to extend the laptop’s connectivity at home.

The 15.6 chassis has a full-size HDMI port, which might be handy if you frequently connect to an external monitor or projector.

Galaxy Book2 Pro 360 Specs

The 2.29 Lbs and 3.11 Lbs weights of the 13.3 and 15.6 laptops are desirable if you’re often on the move. Even a 1 Lbs difference compared to heavier laptops has a significant impact in the real world in my experience.

Inside, you’ll find Intel’s new 12^th generation processors based on Intel’s Alder Lake architecture, which we previously covered. We expect these laptops to provide vast performance improvements without battery life penalties.

The system can be loaded with 8/16/32GB of RAM and 256GB/512GB/1TB of SSD connectivity. Note the presence of a microSD port if you’re a Creative user who often exchanges content from a camera.

The 63Wh battery capacity of the 13.3-inch model is impressive for the chassis’ size. The 15.6 model has a marginally larger 68Wh capacity, so you’re not losing much battery life with the smaller chassis.

Samsung has included a seemingly better webcam and microphones, but I haven’t seen how good they really are, so we’ll have to see.

A more affordable Galaxy Book2 360 (non-Pro) would be compatible with more budgets, and it retains the same overall look and feel but with less expensive components and slightly different options.
