The TCL 20L+ features a high definition quad camera, dazzling display, automatic adaptive brightness and is the first phone to receive Circular Polarisation Certification and Low Blue Light Certifications.

The full local 20 Series range – consisting of the TCL 20 5G ($499), TCL 20L+ ($399) and TCL 20 SE ($299) – is available from today and delivers intelligent display innovation in each device that comes from TCL’s expertise and heritage in screen technology. TCL’s proprietary NXTVISION visual technology has been further enhanced and is in each model of the 20 Series, delivering real-time enhancement for stunning colour, sharp contrast and clarity.

“Today’s launch of the TCL 20L+ reinforces our commitment to bring intelligent display technology and a range of other innovative features to beautifully designed and highly affordable smartphones. When combined with the 20 5G and 20 SE, also available from today, we are giving Australian consumers some compelling options for under $500 from a global leader in screen technology,” said David Vieira, Director of Product Marketing, South East Asia, TCL Communication.

TCL 20L+ – Advanced Photography and Aesthetic Design

The TCL 20L+ stands out for its display, advanced photographic features for its price and dazzling starlight design. The TCL 20L+ is the very first phone to come with TÜV Rheinland Circular Polarization Certification and Low Blue Light Certification, allowing users to see their display, while wearing sunglasses, with natural colours in any environment. A suite of viewing modes ensure optimal viewing in a variety of environments.

Featuring a large HD+ screen, TCL 20L+ allows users to watch their favourite movies and TV shows in clear detail with NXTVISION display optimization, while the adaptive brightness up to 500 nits automatically delivers the best viewing experience.

The TCL 20L+ has a high definition 64MP quad camera that provides optimal clarity and colour reproduction. Included in the setup is a backlight selfie cam and Super Night mode, presenting the people around the shot and its surroundings in the best possible light.

Featuring a sleek and stylish design, the back panel features more than a million prismatic crystal pits to create a sparkling, light-reflective surface. Resistant to fingerprints and scratches, the style of the 20L+ is not outweighed by its durability, allowing consumers to take the device on-the-go without a worry.
