TCL has achieved a 5-star reliability ranking in Which? Magazine annual TV survey

TCL announced it has achieved a 5-star reliability ranking in the latest Which? Magazine annual TV survey, further establishing its reputation as a quality and dependable TV brand among UK consumers.

Which? Magazine’s annual tech reliability survey identifies brands consumers can trust to last. In March 2025, Which? assessed each brand’s reliability by looking at how often its products had problems, how soon they developed and how serious they were. The Which? score is based on surveys of thousands of UK homes, testing product performance, fault rate and overall consumer satisfaction. TCL’s 5-star rating is a reflection of its excellent track record of delivering consistent product reliability, with lower fault rates than many long-established market players.

TCL offers the leading Mini-LED technology on the market and this endorsement highlights not only that innovation but also the brand’s dedication to offering high-end, cutting-edge features at prices that remain accessible to a wide range of consumers.

“These results from Which? prove our long-term emphasis on quality and performance,” said Adam Aldred-Lane, Marketing Director at TCL Electronics UK. “From our global partnership of the Olympics to being an Official Global Partner of Arsenal FC, we’re building strong emotional connections with consumers while continuing to deliver high quality products. These partnerships, combined with our cutting-edge technology and accessible pricing, are key to making TCL a household name in home entertainment.”

TCL Unveils the Z100: The World’s First Wireless Dolby Atmos FlexConnect Speaker for Home Cinema

TCL, a global leader in consumer electronics and the world’s No. 2 TV brand, is revolutionising home entertainment with the launch of the TCL Z100, the first wireless Dolby Atmos® FlexConnectTM speaker. This innovation creates a completely new home cinema category, designed to combine acoustic performance, adaptability, ease of installation, and elegant design.

A Groundbreaking Innovation: Wireless Dolby Atmos FlexConnect Speakers for ultimate consumer ease of use

The result of years of collaboration with Dolby, the Z100 offers a multitude of Dolby Atmos home cinema system options with no cables or HDMI box. Exclusively compatible with the latest generation of TCL Mini LED TVs (C6K, C7K, C8K, C9K, and X11K), it introduces an innovative way of experiencing sound at home. Dolby Atmos FlexConnect is a new feature that unlocks the ability to place speakers anywhere you choose, while optimising the sound experience to fit any room layout or speaker configuration. It provides a customised Dolby Atmos experience where your seat will feel like the best seat in the house. The Z100 speakers communicate with TCL televisions to intelligently adjust sound output. FlexConnect speakers can be used in multiple configurations depending on the consumer’s space and wishes – with 2 speakers, 3 speakers or 4 speakers. All options offer an immersive Dolby Atmos experience.

The Z100 speakers are wireless, meaning they can be placed anywhere in the room. With FlexConnect, speakers can be placed in asymmetrical positions and at different heights. This significant benefit provides unprecedented freedom of placement without compromising audio quality.  

“With this groundbreaking product, we’re ushering in a new era for home audio experiences, made possible through our close collaboration with Dolby,” said James Parker, Head of TV & AV at TCL UK. “Our TVs already integrate Dolby Vision and Dolby Atmos, our soundbars feature Dolby Atmos, and now, we’re taking another major step forward with Dolby Atmos FlexConnect. This technology enables everyone to create a truly immersive home cinema experience, perfectly tailored to their personal space and lifestyle.”

“The launch of Dolby Atmos FlexConnect across TCL’s Precise Dimming Series marks a new chapter in personalised home audio experiences,” said John Couling, Senior Vice President of Entertainment at Dolby Laboratories. “With Dolby Atmos FlexConnect, consumers can unlock even more flexibility and adaptability in how they design their home entertainment systems, whilst removing the stress of whether their speakers are in the right location to get an incredible Dolby Atmos experience.”

Unprecedented Sound Immersion, Regardless of Configuration

Consumers seek the best audio from their sound systems, but room constraints often make optimal speaker placement a challenge. Whether due to room size, outlet locations, or balancing sound performance with aesthetics, positioning speakers can be frustrating. Dolby Atmos FlexConnect unlocks the freedom to place one or more wireless speakers anywhere in a room without having to worry whether they are placed perfectly. The solution is easily adaptable as more devices are added no matter where they are placed, intelligently optimising the Dolby Atmos rendering of each speaker and the TV to create the best possible experience available that’s tailored to the room.

Each Z100 speaker delivers a maximum power of 170W (1.1.1) and includes four high-fidelity speakers, including a vertically angled channel at 15° for optimal height sound reproduction. Thanks to the intelligent auto-calibration of Dolby Atmos FlexConnect, the Z100 automatically identifies its position in the room relative to the user’s location, optimally adjusting the sound field.

Multiple* Z100 speakers can be paired with TCL’s C6K or C8K models to create a sound environment equivalent to a Dolby 5.1.2 or 7.1.4 system, respectively. This audio power is delivered with unmatched ease of use. Additionally, when connected to a smartphone or tablet via Bluetooth, a single Z100 can also serve as a versatile music playback system (without Dolby Atmos).

*Up to four units simultaneously

A Mobile and Elegant Design that Enhances Acoustic Performance

Sleek and sophisticated, the Z100 features an understated metallic black design that seamlessly complements any interior décor. Its compact, wireless form eliminates visual clutter, while delivering professional-grade acoustics, a testament to the combined expertise of TCL laboratories and Dolby audio engineers.

The Z100’s vertical structure integrates a powerful audio setup with two front-facing speakers, an angled vertical speaker, and a subwoofer, providing immersive three-dimensional surround sound and high-fidelity audio with richly detailed soundscapes. This exceptional audio quality rivals that of home cinema sound systems, elevating the home entertainment experience to unprecedented levels.

Neither a conventional soundbar nor a traditional speaker, the Z100 sets a new standard for home cinema: wireless Dolby Atmos, portability, and elegant design.

The TCL Z100 will be available in France starting early July 2025 with more European launches to come.

TCL Unveils the MOVETIME Family Watch to Help Keep Seniors Connected. #IFA20 #MOVETIME #Tech

TCL, one of the world’s best-selling consumer electronics brands and leading technology companies, is introducing the MOVETIME Family Watch MT43A today. This 4G connected watch provides hands-free two way calling, automatic fall detection, heart rate monitoring and medication reminders designed to help seniors maintain their independence.

 

According to Pew Research, nearly 20 percent of seniors around the world live alone. While older adults may want to age in their homes and retain their independence, their loved ones may have concerns about their safety or their ability to get around and complete daily activities. The MOVETIME Family Watch MT43A is the perfect solution. 

 

This watch provides automatic fall detection, which notes when the wearer falls and sends an immediate alert (within 60 seconds) to assigned emergency contacts with the individual’s precise location. The wearer can also dismiss the alert if necessary. With an embedded heart rate monitor and sensor, the watch will also keep an eye on heart rate and will alert the wearer to irregular activity, such as an accelerated or slower than average heart rate.

 

“With the announcement of the MOVETIME Family Watch MT43A, TCL is utilizing modern wearable technologies that can help seniors continue living independent lives while providing peace of mind for their families and caregivers,” said Sharon Xiao, GM of the Smart Connected Device Business Group at TCL Communication. “TCL is committed to leveraging its technical expertise for this generation, bringing unique offerings and features that are designed especially for them.”  

 

 

In addition to medical emergencies, the MOVETIME Family Watch MT43A is also designed to improve daily life for older adults. Seniors stay connected by sending voice or text messages and can also share photos or emojis right from their wrist. The watch also offers smooth two-way calling so seniors can check in with loved ones using a simple hands-free request. The MOVETIME Family Watch also has daily activity tracking and sleep monitoring to help the seniors track their activity and calories, while also measuring their sleep duration, cycle and efficiency. These tools provide them with insights that can help improve their lifestyle habits. Seniors can also leverage the watch’s medication or activity reminders, keeping them active while also making sure that they always take their pills on time.

 

The MOVETIME Family Watch MT43A comes in Dark Gray and Black with a 41 x 48.5 mm AMOLED touch display and optimized larger icons, watch face and graphics designed for seniors. The device is IP67 water and dust resistant and it is designed to meet CCPA and GDPR compliance to protect user privacy. The MOVETIME Family Watch MT43A will be available in North America and Europe this fall for €229 EUR.

TCL turns up the volume in the wireless headphone category with new MOVEAUDIO S200 true wireless headphones for under €100 #TWS #IFA20 #TCL

TCL, one of the world’s best-selling consumer electronics brands and leading technology companies, is introducing a new pair of completely wireless headphones featuring all the advanced technologies that buyers expect, but priced at under €100. While wireless earbuds have historically been a premium offering, TCL continues to level the technology playing field with the new MOVEAUDIO S200 True Wireless headphones in a way that should be music to your ears. The headphones offer an enhanced audio experience, complete comfort and easy connectivity with all your devices, making them a must-have accessory for anyone who wants to take calls or listen to music, wirelessly.

 

“Like other parts of our TCL consumer technology ecosystem, we’re bringing the expertise we have built in home entertainment to the mobile experience which has influenced the development of our TCL MOVEAUDIO S200 True Wireless headphones,” said Sharon Xiao, GM of the Smart Connected Device Business Group at TCL Communication. “With this latest addition to our mobile audio lineup, we continue to expand our true wireless portfolio with a focus on ergonomic design, audio quality and of course value; which is core to every TCL product we manufacture.” 

 

Offering great value and performance, the TCL MOVEAUDIO S200 True Wireless headphones leverage ENC noise reduction technology to reduce background noise and ensure that you always experience crystal clear calls. Four built-in microphones use beamforming technology to filter out external noise and focus on your voice, ensuring you are easily heard and understood. Each compact earbud is equipped with a highly precise and sensitive coil that brings your music to life, from deep bass to gentle acoustics. The headphones connect using Bluetooth 5.0 with a dual-Bluetooth transmission that ensures low latency while you’re watching movies or playing games. They also fit comfortably and offer an IP54 rating that makes them waterproof, dustproof and sweatproof, with a snug superellipse design that’s easy to wear the entire day.

 

Music fans will love the smart wearing detection feature, which automatically plays or pauses songs when you put on or take off the headphones, allowing you to pick up right where you left off. Touch gestures allow you to say goodbye to digging your phone out of your back pocket; allowing you to manage calls, music, volume and more with simply a touch. And, the headphones are native voice assistant compatible, quickly alerting Google Assistant or Siri with a long press. These integrations make it easy to switch between activities without having to remove the headphones from your ears.

 

Pairing the TCL MOVEAUDIO S200 True Wireless headphones with your device is also incredibly easy. Enable fast pairing by simply opening the charging case cover and giving it a single tap. Your mobile device will also provide you with a status update on the headphones’ battery life, so you always know if you need to give them a charge. 

 

The TCL S200 True Wireless headphones provide up to 3.5 hours of battery life on a single use, or up to 23 hours of battery life when used with the charging case. The charging case comes in an ultra slim casing design that fits perfectly in your palm or your pocket, and the classic silver tip on the earbuds is minimalist, yet elegant. The headphones come in three color options that fit your personality: white and black. The TCL MOVEAUDIO S200 True Wireless headphones will be available globally for only €99 EUR starting at the end of the month.
