These industry awards coincide with their global unveiling of the TCL 10-Series smartphone lineup this month. The awards are from two world-renowned international competitions with over 6,000 entries this year. The criteria are based on a comprehensive evaluation of design,innovativeness,and functionality. As of today,TCL accounts for 13% of the global market and is growing the brand value beyond Asia into North America,European Union,United Kingdom and APAC. TCL is using its reputation as a world-leading TV brand and manufacturer to support their branded smartphone product line. TCL is also excited in creating a vibrant and wide-ranging C-IOT Portfolio of products to support connected home ecosystems. So beyond smartphones,TCL is also offering products such as the 5G CPE Home Station,Mesh Routers,Wi-Fi Routers,and Smart Watches. All of these new products will carry the dependability and reliability that TCL is known for. TCL intends to enter the mid-range market and deliver the best product for the money while ensuring a premium experience for the user.

"As one of the world's leading consumer electronic brands,expanding the TCL base into the mobile business ensures that we are the only Chinese end-to-end manufacturer that offers a fully integrated smart ecosystem encompassing all aspects of life,"saidKevin Wang,CEO of TCL Industrial Holdings."This capacity for a single company to produce all the products related to the connected devices from phones to routers will allow for the consumer to have an entire system that is intentionally designed to work seamlessly along with being affordable. This is an exciting and worthwhile venture for both the brand and consumer."

The strategy of TCL to support the C-IOT fully and offer consumers a complete seamless product line is an efficient endeavor and long overdue for the current state of digital ecosystems. When all the components can be supplied from the same manufacturer and engineering teams,the system will work better. This strategy is meant for both commercial and private usage and supports the networking of both for workand study from home,and leisure activities.
