TCL 10 series is an affordable offering with quad-cameras
There’s also a midrange option with 5G
TCL unveils today the TCL 10 series that consists of the TCL 10 5G, TCL 10 Pro, and TCL 10L. Instead of going after the flagship segment, the company is positioning the products as an affordable offering.
TCL is like HMD Global, it goes slow, but has some formidable products. The company was also authorized to make BlackBerry-branded phones. However, lately, we’ve seen them focus on their original brand name that’s quite famous in the television segment.
Starting with the TCL 10 5G, it has a 6.5-inch Full HD+ display with a punch-hole cut-out. Powering the phone is a Snapdragon 765G processor with 6GB RAM and 128GB internal storage. For authentication, a physical fingerprint scanner has been included on the back.
On the rear is a quad-camera setup consisting of a 64MP primary camera, an 8MP wide-angle lens, along with unspecified 5MP and 2MP lenses. On the front is a 16-megapixel selfie shooter located in a punch-hole cut-out.
Backing these internals is a 4500mAh battery that supports Quick Charge 3.0. The phone ships with Android 10 out-of-the-box. It’ll be available in Chrome Blue and Mercury Grey color options.
The TCL 10 Pro, on the other hand, has a 6.5-inch OLED display with Full HD+ resolution but a tiny water-drop notch. Powering the phone is a Snapdragon 675 processor with 6GB RAM and 128GB internal storage. Unlike the 5G option, this one sports an in-display fingerprint scanner.
It has the same camera setup as the TCL 10 5G on the rear, but a 24-megapixel selfie camera. It also gets the same battery setup that can deliver 4500mAh of power along with Quick Charge 3.0 support.
Lastly, the TCL 10L has the same display as the TCL 10 5G, but is powered by a Snapdragon 665 processor. It comes with 6GB RAM and 64GB or 128GB internal storage configuration. It has a 4000mAh battery, but there’s no mention of fast charging.
On the rear is a quad-camera setup consisting of a 48-megapixel primary camera, an 8-megapixel wide-angle lens, a 2-megapixel macro lens, and a 2-megapixel depth sensor. It’ll be available in Arctic White and Mariana Blue color options.
Pricing and availability
The TCL 10 Pro will retail for US$ 449.99 while the TCL 10L will sell for US$ 249.99. Both will be sold online at Amazon, Best Buy and Walmart.
Each device will come in one color option at launch: The 10 Pro will come in Ember Gray and 10L will come in Mariana Blue. Both phones will be coming to Canada later this summer. More details to come closer to Canada’s launch.
Pricing and availability for the TCL 10 5G have yet to be released.

Canva teams up with SB19 to turn A’TIN’s passion into creativity
Campaign lets fans access assets, editable templates, more
Canva Philippines has joined forces with SB19 and Sony Music Entertainment to launch the “Kaya sa Canva” campaign.
This first-of-its-kind initiative is aimed at transforming the popular Filipino boy band’s fanbase into creators by giving them access to official design assets, exclusive templates, and powerful creative tools.
That’s of course as fans have a way of creating artwork, banners, and more outputs to honor their idols.
As such, the partnership enables the A’TIN (SB19’s fanbase) to access the Canva-exclusive SB19’s Creative Hub.
This dedicated space lets fans access assets, including SB19-inspired sticker packs, custom typography, and editable templates inspired by the group.
Fans around the world will initially have access to templates for photo-booth strips, wallpapers, posters, and videos.
The campaign will then expand with Canva-exclusive assets celebrating the group’s New Era, as well as their latest single, “Lawless”.
Meanwhile, the original song “KAYA” is accompanied with an upbeat music video, doubling as a love letter to A’TIN and a masterclass in Canva’s tools.
Every visual and animation is fan-inspired, a celebration of the creativity, passion, and dedication that’s defined in the community from day one.

The iPhone 18 might sell out for an unexpected reason
The ongoing shortage might play a part in the phone selling out earlier than expected.
An iPhone selling out is not news. Because of how popular the phones are, it’s within the realm of probability that Apple runs out of stock at some point. According to a new report, this year won’t be any different… but it’s for an entirely different reason.
First reported by analyst Tim Culpan, Apple is reportedly struggling to meet its demand for semiconductors for the iPhone 18 and the foldable iPhone. The ongoing memory shortage is cutting off Apple’s ability to deliver the required supply of smartphones in a timely fashion. The report even claims that TSMC, which helps produce the iPhone, is sitting on a shipment of processors, worth US$ 1 billion, that don’t have memory chips.
Now, Apple is still confident that it can weather the launch. However, if the shortage persists, the iPhone 18 generation will likely sell out much more quickly than expected.
It’s an interesting time for Apple to experience such a shortage. It’s been heavily rumored that the company will launch its very first foldable phone next month, creating a new market for the brand. Apple definitely wants this attempt to succeed after the tepid response to its last new product, the Vision Pro.

These “smart” glasses just sold out in under a week
DuckDuckGo touts that these glasses have zero AI, zero cameras, and an infinite battery life.
Smart glasses are in a weird place right now. While a chunk of the population views them as cool and innovative, another significant chunk sees them as a privacy nightmare. If you’re in the latter group but want to see what life is like on the former, DuckDuckGo has a new product: a pair of anti-surveillance glasses with no camera or AI, otherwise known as just normal sunglasses.
If it’s not obvious, yes, it’s a troll product. DuckDuckGo is a search engine famously known for pushing privacy as a priority, opposing Google’s penchant for advertising and AI. Now, the search engine is taking on the smart glasses market.
Partnering with Knockaround, DuckDuckGo released the Paso Robles, a pair of sunglasses touted as having zero cameras, an always-offline mode, and a battery life of infinity.
It’s a statement piece. The rims have a logo mark, similar to the Meta’s glasses. The packaging also states that the glasses are “designed to block the sun, not send data to the cloud.”
Now, if you want a pair, they cost only US$ 35, as opposed to Meta’s US$ 299 price tag, but they are already sold out.
Which says quite a bit about today’s sentiment against AI and for privacy. Of course, to be fair, DuckDuckGo’s supply is certainly less than Meta’s stock for their smart glasses. It does, however, prove that the sentiment is there.
As of now, the world is slowly realizing that unimpeded smart glasses aren’t such a good idea, leading to people concerned about their privacy. In fact, some states have already started banning the technology in certain public spaces.
