Long gone are the days when 4K cost a four-tune: these days you can get a big, fancy, ultra high definition TV for quite a small amount. Black Friday also happens to be one of the times those TVs are cheaper, and for today only you can grab a 50-inch screen for your living room for just £299.Read More >>
Gizmodo took an aeroplane to Berlin this year, searching for some wacky Euro tech at IFA. What we found instead was a handful of incredibly cool gadgets. Sure, we saw some weird stuff, too. But the very best stuff is even more fun. Read More >>
Earlier this year TCL revealed some concept designs for a foldable phone, and they were horrible ugly things that made me glad they weren't going to be coming to market. Now, though, the company unveiled the latest version of its foldable design at IFA, and frankly it looks a hell of a lot better than it did before. And not just because this one apparently folds all the way. Read More >>
Back in March TCL unveiled a first look at its range of foldable phones. Phones with a design that I quickly dismissed as being really shit-looking because, well, they were really shit-looking. In fact we've seen patent designs and they don't look much better. The good news is that those devices are still in the concept stage, so there's plenty of time to make them look a bit fancier.

There’s a common problem with soundbars. They only sound as big as they are, and soundbars, by design, are compact systems. TCL wants to solve this problem with a new acoustic solution that can blast sound all around your living room thanks to some slick curves and Dolby Atmos technology. It’s a wacky idea, and it in my brief experience, it works. Read More >>
Earlier this year Apple let it slip that iOS 13 was coming with a very useful feature: audio sharing. Or, in other more descriptive terms, the ability to share a device's audio to more than one set of headphones. Now TCL has announced that it's also bringing this feature to its phones, and that it'll be much better than what Apple has to offer when iOS 13 finally launches. Read More >>
TCL (or Alcatel as we know it on these shores) is bringing its smartphones and foldable devices to IFA this week ahead of their 2020 launch. Read More >>
Chinese manufacturer TCL has revealed its 2019/2020 roadmap and it looks like we've got some new phones to look forward to, including a folding phone set to launch near the end of the year. Read More >>
In just the last week, we’ve seen two incredibly impressive bendy phones in the Samsung Galaxy Fold and the Huawei Mate X. But they won’t be the last, as evidenced by TCL’s – or Alcatel as the company is known in the UK – own bendy phone concepts shown off at MWC. Read More >>
Half of us haven't got round to upgrading our TV sets to 4K yet, but manufacturers have stock to shift, so this year's CES is all about the 8K TVs. Read More >>
Held in Berlin, Germany, IFA is a huge mashup of appliances, audio equipment, computers, and sausages, and unlike CES, it’s open to the public. Think Coachella for gadget nerds if you will, but with way better beer. And it’s here that a lot of big Asian and European companies get to show their wares. So we wanted to take a little time to go over all the big phone debuts that happened at IFA 2018. Read More >>
Chances are that if you’re reading this, there’s one smartphone feature you care more about than anything else. That’s because even with the Key2’s sleeker, more refined design, an interesting choice of components and its questionable BlackBerry heritage, this handset has one thing you simply don’t get on phones anymore: a good ‘ole physical keyboard. And I’ve got to admit that even though I’m much more accustomed to the touch-based keyboards found on every other device nowadays the Blackberry Key2's keyboard is fantastic. Read More >>
No, your calendar isn’t wrong—it’s not the year 2010. But if a report from Android Police is to be believed, the once legendary phone brand Palm is going to make a return to stores sometime in the second half of 2018, at least in the US. Read More >>
