TCL teamed up with Qualcomm to discuss 5G technology yesterday morning at the IFA in Berlin . But it was this morning when he presented a mobile concept that could hit stores next year whose main peculiarity is the format of its screen.
Following point by point the strategy that we already saw at IFA 2019, the Chinese brand has advanced a couple of prototypes at the German technology event. The first is an update of its Project Archery wearable device, glasses that have two OLED screens that simulate watching a movie at the cinema. Now the brand has shown version 3.0 of this device, lighter and now more like a pair of sunglasses.
However, the most interesting thing has been seen just a couple of hours ago, when the company has released a prototype smartphone with a cascading screen , but with a much more aggressive curve than what we have seen so far in mobiles like the Motorola Edge Plus.
#TCL at # IFA20 – At IFA 2020, TCL showcased TCL 120 ° waterfall display prototype phone and mentioned that “next year you will get hands on experience of waterfall display phone and sliding phone”. TCL waterfall phone also has display camera.

The future of mobile screens
The aggressive curve of the screen allows the manufacturer to eliminate any side bezels and focus the user’s full attention on the content. The display expands through the two profiles of the device reaching an angle of 120 degrees that implies being able to use the screen also at these ends. This is precisely one of the most controversial aspects of the mobile, as some companies such as Samsung ended the “Edge” design of their phones because taking the screen to the ends of the phone caused accidental keystrokes in addition to implying a higher production cost.
The company affirms that this new technology will be present in a TCL phone that will be launched on the market in 2021, a year that, according to the company, will feature this type of “Waterfall Display “.
Similarly, the brand also pointed out that it is working on new folding and rolling screens that could arrive earlier than expected, but not in 2020. Apparently TCL has its sights set on 2020 and has taken advantage of this pandemic year to improve its technologies looking forward to a very promising 2021. His goal now is to get folding devices that are not as expensive to develop and sell as the current flexible screen mobile phones from Huawei and Samsung.
