TCL this week took the wraps off three new affordable Android phones coming to the US next quarter. All three share a similar "minimalist" design and will sell for under $200.

The TCL 40 XE 5G is TCL's most affordable 5G phone to date at just $169. It's powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 700 chipset paired with 4 GB RAM and 64 GB storage. Its 6.56-inch HD+ display has 90 Hz refresh and TCL's NXTVISION display technology. The main camera is 13 megapixel.
The TCL 40 X 5G is basically the same phone but with a better, 50 megapixel main camera. It will sell for $199.
The TCL 40 XL is only 4G (using a MediaTek G37 chipset) but thanks to that trade-off, it offers a few upgrades for an even lower price. It has a larger screen at 6.75 inches, it has more built-in storage at 128 GB, it has a 50 megapixel camera like the 40 X, and it has stereo speakers. Yet it will sell for just $149.

All three phones have a 5,000 mAh battery, side fingerprint reader, and expandable storage. Each also has an 8 megapixel front camera, 2 megapixel macro camera, and a depth camera for portrait shots. The 40 XL is coming in May while the two 5G models will launch in June. Which US carriers will offer which model(s) is yet to be announced.
