TCL has today announced the TCL 20 R 5G, an Android smartphone combining its superior display technology with 5G mobile speeds. The company says that the smartphone is part of a sub-£200 package costing £179.
“TCL is more than a leading smartphone, TV, and wearable innovator; our mission is to make important technologies accessible to more audiences than ever,” said Stefan Streit, Chief Marketing Officer at TCL Communication.

With it, TCL ensures a future-proofed 5G phone, with a reliable, quality feature-set for a price that is accessible to all,” he added.
5G for All
As 5G coverage improves, and more services rely on fast mobile data speeds going into 2022, TCL’s 5G for All mission is realised with the TCL 20 R 5G, making a low-cost 5G option available to more users.
App and movie file sizes are larger than ever, and the world is anticipating a continued global shift towards video calling at home or on the go. TCL’s 20 R 5G enables seamless, high-definition video communication as well as ultra-fast download speed across both SA and NSA 5G. Gone are the days of frozen faces and endless waiting.
The TCL 20 R 5G forms a crucial part of TCL’s 5G for All initiative, launched at Mobile World Congress 2021. It has seen TCL develop a range of devices that brings affordable 5G to every area of consumers’ lives, the company said.
Powered by MediaTek Dimensity 700, TCL 20 R 5G is a perfect balance of performance and efficiency, delivering enough power for smooth all-day swiping and scrolling. It also ensures maximum battery life thanks to the chipset’s 7nm processor, which promises 28% more power efficiency than an equivalent 8nm Processor.
Features of TCL’s 20 R smartphone
In addition to fast 5G, TCL 20 R 5G offers a 90Hz refresh rate display with a 180Hz touch sampling rate. Every tap, scroll, and swipe on TCL 20 5G display is fast and effortless, bringing an ultra-smooth visual experience. Users can also choose the adaptive refresh rate for power-saving benefits, where 90Hz refresh rate is enabled in selected scenarios.
“Lose yourself in the 6.52-inch V-notch display with a 90% screen-to-body ratio.

On top of being easy to see, the TCL 20 R 5G is optimised to ensure maximum enjoyment and minimum eye strain,” the company said.
