TCL bursts onto the Android scene
with folding and rollable screens
you’ll flip over
But don’t expect to buy one anytime soon. BY MICHAEL SIMON
T
CL isn’t exactly a household name
when it comes to smartphones, but
the BlackBerry (go.pcworld.com/
bky2) and Palm (go.pcworld.com/
palm) phone maker is looking to change that
in 2020. Ahead of the launch of its own
phones later this year, TCL is piquing our
curiosity with a couple of wild concept
phones that make the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip
(go.pcworld.com/szfl) and Motorola razr (go.
pcworld.com/mraz) look like old news.
To be clear, these are concepts in every
sense of the word. They have no names, no
specs, and no chance of being sold anytime
soon. The models we saw were basically
movie props with few working parts, but
they’re certainly intriguing. And if they’re an
indication of what TCL has in store for future
