TCL’s New Phones: A Pricey Play with a Twist

The company TCL has unveiled the K70 and K70 Power smartphones, which rely on the Helio G100 SoC, but they are priced quite steeply. It should be noted immediately that these new products have so far only appeared in Thailand at very unusual prices, but perhaps this is a feature of the local market.

For example, K70 Power is priced at $415 USD. This smartphone lacks 5G, features an HD+ screen, and has 4GB of RAM. It also offers 256GB of flash memory, a 6.8-inch display supporting 120Hz, and a 6500 mAh battery with 33-watt charging. There’s also water resistance (IP64). Interestingly, with such specs, the smartphone supports Bluetooth 6.0, which isn’t found even in some flagships.

The K70 seems to have all the same features, but with a smaller battery (5200 mAh). However, there is no price or detailed specifics for it. However, there is data from Infor Valencia, which is not a seller, but a supplier, and it lists the K70 at just 135 euros ($150), which is much more in line with its parameters, while the K70 Power is listed at 175 euros ($195).
