Mobile World Conference (MWC) 2022 kicked off in Barcelona today, and as is usual, TCL has shown off a bunch of foldable new foldable smartphones. These include the TCL Ultra Flex and the TCL Fold n Roll. Both the devices have their own unique functionalities, and here we have some hands-on images showcasing these TCL foldables in the real world. So, let’s check them out.
Since the inception of foldable smartphones in the market, we have seen some unique foldable concepts from TCL. The Chinese company also unveiled its first laptop and AR Glasses at CES earlier this year. And now, at MWC 2022, the company has unveiled two new foldable smartphones that are in their concept stages. The company has also unveiled the TCL 30 series phones and tablets.
TCL Ultra Flex is a traditional-looking foldable smartphone that comes with a hinge design similar to the Royole Flexpai, one of the first foldable phones to ever launch in the market. Although the hinge of the Ultra Flex does not look appealing, it does allow the device to fold both ways – inward and outward.
TCL Fold n Roll
Next comes the TCL Fold n Roll that, yes, you guessed it, unfolds like a Galaxy Z Fold device and then rolls out a hidden screen to become an 8.8-inch tablet-like device from a 7-inch device. It is similar to TCL’s previous Fold and Slide device that was showcased at DTC last year. However, it is a bit more compact than the previous one.
It is also worth mentioning that the TCL Fold n Roll has more prominent display creases as compared to the Ultra Flex. Moreover, it does not support a stylus and looks like an unfinished device when it is fully unfolded and rolled out.
