Berlin – September 08, 2026 -- TCL introduced its new P80 smartphone lineup at IFA 2026, consisting of three models -- the P80 Ultra, P80 Pro, and P80 -- aimed at users prioritizing photography, comfortable viewing, and everyday performance at different price points.
The P80 Ultra and P80 Pro bring TCL's NXTPAPER AMOLED display technology, first shown at MWC 2026, to the smartphone lineup. The screens combine AMOLED's color and contrast with NXTPAPER's glare and blue-light reduction features, designed for extended daily viewing comfort.
The P80 Ultra headlines the series with a 50MP periscope telephoto camera
TCL calls the P80 Ultra its most advanced device to date. Its standout feature is a 50MP periscope telephoto lens with 3x zoom, combining optical and electronic image stabilization (OIS + EIS) for sharper shots of distant subjects, portraits, and street scenes. The camera system also includes a 50MP main sensor (1/1.56 inch) with OIS + EIS, an 8MP ultra-wide autofocus lens, and a 32MP front camera for selfies and video calls.
The P80 Pro balances display quality with battery life and storage
The P80 Pro pairs a 1.5K NXTPAPER AMOLED display with versatile camera features, a 5,800mAh battery, and storage options up to 512GB. TCL notes actual battery performance may vary by device settings, network conditions, and usage patterns, while storage and color configurations depend on market and sales channel.
The standard P80 targets budget-conscious buyers
The entry model, the TCL P80, offers a slim design and a large 1.5K AMOLED display for users seeking an affordable device for daily basics.
Stefan Streit, Chief Marketing Officer of TCL Europe, said today's smartphones should help people move fluidly between capturing distant moments, reading during commutes, handling work tasks, and entertainment -- while also making it easier to disconnect when needed. He added that the P80 Ultra represents TCL's most advanced smartphone yet, combining the latest NXTPAPER AMOLED display technology with advanced camera capabilities, strong performance, and reliable battery life.
TCL says the P80 series draws on 27 years of experience in mobile communications, aiming to strengthen its position as a smartphone brand while making premium mobile technology accessible to a wider range of consumers. Pricing, availability, colors, and accessories will vary by market and sales channel.
