TCL's 60 Phone Series Expands With 108-Megapixel Cameras, Bigger Batteries

The TCL 60 series of phones is expanding with the company’s Monday reveal at Mobile World Congress 2025. TCL highlighted its plans internationally for lower-cost phone models that have a 108-megapixel main camera, more NxtPaper displays that mimic eReaders and big 5,200mAh batteries with 18W wired charging.

The TCL 60 series first debuted in January at CES 2025 with the $200 TCL 60 XE NxtPaper 5G that will head to the US market later this year. The TCL 60 XE will be joined by several variations of both TCL’s NxtPaper devices and phones with traditional displays that are set for release in Asia, Europe and Latin American markets.

The TCL 60 SE NxtPaper 5G has a 6.7-inch display, 5,200 mAh battery, support for AI tools like a writing assistant, an IP54 rating for splash and dust resistance and 18GB of memory paired up with 256GB of storage. That phone will cost 189 euros, which roughly converts to $195.

The TCL 60 NxtPaper — without any additional letters in its name — has a slightly larger 6.8-inch display, a 108-megapixel main camera (which we rarely see in these price ranges) and up to 512GB of internal storage. Like the SE phone, it will also include 18GB of memory and a 5,200mAh battery. That phone will cost 199 euros.

TCL’s non-NxtPaper devices range in price from 109 euros to 169 euros. On the low end of this price range is the TCL 605 which has 128GB of storage, a 50-megapixel main camera and a 5,200mAh battery. While on the higher-end are the TCL 60 5G and TCL 60 SE. The 60 SE has a 6.67-inch display, a 50-megapixel main camera, 8GB of memory and 512GB of storage. The 60 5G — without any additional letters — gets a 6.8-inch display with a 120Hz refresh rate, runs on a MediaTek Dimensity 6300 processor and has 6GB of memory along with 256GB of storage.

While most of these phones aren’t coming to the US, this lineup does give a few hints about what could be coming to phones that cost $200 and less from TCL and other phone companies. For the last few years, phone batteries in these lower-cost phones have kept to 5,000mAh — which as it is often last a full day — but companies like OnePlus are starting to push those capacities even higher in more expensive phones. Its promising to see that lower-cost devices can start bumping up the battery capacity.
