    Featuring a curved 6.67″ AMOLED display, the TCL 20 Pro 5G offers an immersive viewing experience thanks to TCL’s all-new NXTVISION 2.0 Intelligent Display technology powered by Pixelworks. This proprietary advanced display optimisation technology provides industry-leading colour accuracy, and the improved AI visual enhancement recognises on-screen content and scenes and automatically adjusts the colour, contrast and sharpness for more accurate and adaptive calibration.

    NXTVISION also offers elevated levels of eye protection to reduce eye strain and blue light, while the TCL 20 Pro 5G also supports HDR10 playback for streaming TV series, documentaries and films on Netflix.

    Along with the optimised display technology and a bump-free design, the TCL 20 Pro 5G boasts a quad rear camera array including a 48 MP primary module complete with Sony IMX main sensor, as well as lenses for ultra-wide, macro and depth sensors and an HDR-enabled 32MP front camera.

    Shooting professional-looking photos of family and friends is a snap with Optical Image Stabilisation (OIS), ensuring smooth, crisp images in high-resolution detail. Additionally, the Backlight Selfie eliminates washed-out photos when the sun is behind you or you’re in the shade, so you can present yourself and your friends in the very best light possible.
