TCL Linkzone 4G and 5G Hotspots

The TCL Linkzone MW512 is a 5G Wi-Fi hotspot that works in the sub-6GHz band. It has an intuitive user interface thanks to the on-board display so you can keep an eye on connection status, battery life and so on.

There is also the Linkzone MW63, which has a 4G connection (Cat. 6, up to 300Mbps down and up 50Mbps up) and supports eSIMs so you don’t need to purchase a physical SIM when traveling abroad.

This pocketable device can connect up to 32 devices to the Internet over Wi-Fi 5 (ac at 867Mbps), its 2,150mAh battery can last up to 8 hours of operation (standby time is up to 300 hours).

Info on the prices and availability of the Linkzone hotspots will be announced soon.

Last on TCL’s list of MWC launches are a couple of tablets which appear to be targeted toward Europe for the time being.

The NXTPAPER 11 is a tablet/e-reader hybrid sporting an 11-inch color 2K display powered by TCL’s latest NXTPAPER 2.0 tech, which increases the brightness by 150% compared to v1, offering up to 500 nits and an overall better reading experience.

It’s an Android 13 tablet for all intents and purposes, but with the ability to instantly transform into a conventional e-ink reader. It runs on MediaTek’s Helio P60T processor.

The onboard 8MP front camera enables the NXTPAPER 11 to make video calls or capture self-portraits and there will be plenty of lasting power for those selfies with a mammoth 8,000mAh battery and the option to reverse charge your other devices.

Quad speakers and dual microphones are also on-board.

Customers across select regions of Europe can get the NXTPAPER 11 starting from $249 (€235) in May. TCL didn’t provide a US launch date for the NXTPAPER 11.

The TCL Tab 11, on the other hand, is designed for those who prefer a “conventional tablet experience.” It features an 11-inch 2K display, the same MediaTek Helio P60T SoC as frin the NXTPAPER 11, plus 4GB of RAM and up to 128GB of storage.

The hardware is crammed into a 6.9mm thick body, weighing just over 1lb (462 grams).
TCL said it will make the tablet available in 4G and non-4G versions. There’s an 8,000mAh battery inside the Android 13-running Tab 11.

Much like the NXTPAPER 11, the Tab 11 supports TCL’s T-pen stylus which will be available separately.

The company says it will launch Wi-Fi only and 4G LTE variants of the tablet in May, starting from $179 (€169) and $209 (€197) across Europe, with no word on a US release date at this point.
