TCL unveils 3 new TKEE tablets for kids at CES 2022

Alongside a lineup of affordable new Android tablets, TCL has also unveiled three new TKEE tablets at CES 2022 designed especially for children to both play and learn.

The three models include the TKEE MINI, MID, and MAX, all of which are designed from the ground up to meet the needs of active and inquisitive kids. An intuitive user interface engages children while keeping them focused on the task at hand, while a robust bumper case handles everyday bumps and drops.

The new tablets are also accompanied by TCL Kids, a companion child-friendly service that’s available in Google Play for all new TCL tablets, from the TKEE series to the new NXTPAPER 10s and the upcoming TCL BOOK 14 Go laptop.

TCL Kids provides a kid-friendly service that shares the core experience of the TKEE series tables, including a library of educational and entertainment content that includes over 20,000 videos, 400 storybooks, and 50 family-friendly apps. Parental monitoring tools help parents and guardians keep track of screen time, manage access to apps and websites, and even set health reminders to help kids improve their reading posture.

TCL Kids will be available to customers globally in Q2 2022 for $4 per month. TCL will also be offering a two-month free trial subscription in select regions.

TCL 40 SE wows CES 2023 with 90Hz screen, big camera, $169 price tag
TCL 40 SE back design.

TCL, in typical tech show fashion, has unloaded a whole bag of new devices at CES 2023. Among them is the new TCL 40 series of phones, which cover all the basics from a high-refresh-rate screen to a Google Pixel 7-matching 50MP camera — all for around $200 or less.

Leading the budget phone assault is the TCL 40 SE, which costs $169 and will soon be hitting  retail shelves starting with the European market. It offers a 6.75-inch display with an HD+ resolution, and 450 nits of peak brightness. Those are not eye-popping numbers by any stretch of the imagination, and neither is the thick chin very easy on the eyes. But hey, it's a dirt-cheap phone, and TCL has at least tried to jazz things up on the rear panel.

CES 2023: TCL’s Nxtpaper 12 Pro could be a sweet iPad/Kindle hybrid tablet

At CES 2023, TCL dropped a whole bag of gadgets — including new phones, a Windows convertible, and a new tablet with its own take on the color e-ink tech. Say hello to the TCL Nxtpaper 12 Pro tablet, which aims to beat the likes of Apple and Samsung with a palatable price, a screen that feels like paper, and a large canvas, too.

Unlike regular LCD panels that alter the screen temperature and give it a yellowish tint, TCL's Nxtpaper tech relies on a built-in multi-layer filter system. This not only cuts down on the blue light exposure but also keeps the color profile as close to natural as possible and reduces the glare effect.

The most innovative tablets of 2022

It's been an exciting year for tablet releases, with venerable players like Samsung and Apple making interesting changes to their lineups while lesser-known tablet makers brought some of their own unique twists to the table. Even Google has tossed its hat back in the ring by announcing a new Pixel Tablet coming early next year.

Nevertheless, only a few companies stood out among tablet-makers with anything truly innovative. One could argue that the tablet market is maturing, but we're not sure that's necessarily the case, as a few of these more notable releases proved this year.
