Photo Announcement. TCL Ion X - hello from the past

An apparatus called TCL Ion X has been announced in Far Abroad. The main question for TCL is guys, where did you find such ancient components?

It turned out to be a strange smartphone. Ok, iron is relatively modern. On the MediaTek Helio G25 chipset, at least a couple of dozen smartphones were released last year. Both Xiaomi and Honor were noted there. Power, of course, is not a fountain. In AnTuTu it will be around one hundred thousand points, no more.

Memory. She's a little. 3 GB RAM and 32 GB storage. Android version not reported.

Six-inch (93 cm²) screen with no cutouts. sooaspect ratio is two to one. The resolution is quite typical for such screens, 720x1440 (268 ppi).

The battery is ridiculous by modern standards, only 3000 mAh. In the news on foreign sites they write that it is removable.

Chambers are simple single. 5 MP front and 13 MP rear.

There is Type-C and dual-band Wi-Fi. No NFC-module and fingerprint scanner.

Designed by TCL Ion X for Metro by T-Mobile. $119 (₽8210) at the start of sales.
