The new range of TCL is promising, although the strategy of technical specifications is really confusing, choosing a model of a processor as outdated for a phone of 449 euros, while the intermediate model has better power and connectivity.
The input TCL introduces 3 new mobile phones which do not we understand is listed first on The Android Free.
