We are also interested in the TCL division, which has been engaged in the development and sale of smartphones, which has been going on since 1985. It was then that TCL Communication Equipment Co. was created. Ltd. Initially, the company was engaged in the release of fixed-line telephones. In 1999, TCL Communication was represented on its base, focused on the production of mobile phones and the provision of Internet services.

And in 2002 she won the first place in sales of "cellular" in the domestic market. In 2004, TCL Communication and the French mobile phone company, Alcatel, formed the joint venture TCL & Alcatel Mobile Phones Limited (TAMP). 55% of the shares in this company were owned by TCL, and 45% by Alcatel. All French mobile phone factories were relocated to China. And in 2005, TCL bought out the remaining shares of the joint venture from Alcatel. In the same year, the company increased its sales to 1 million units per month.

In 2007, TCL, in collaboration with RIM, introduced the first Blackberry mobile phone in the Chinese market. This model was called the Alcatel BlackBerry 8700. And a little later it became the exclusive smartphone manufacturer for the international telecom operator Vodafone.

From year to year, the company increased its production and sales turnover, expanding production facilities and official offices throughout the world.

In the same year, the first model was presented, probably the most successful TCL line, Idol X. The smartphone was sold in the amount of 20 thousand copies in a jiffy. By the way, in the Asian market it was sold under the name of TCL, in the rest of the world as Alcatel. And this principle remains to this day. A year later, at the CES international exhibition in Las Vegas, an updated IDOL X + model was introduced, which became the first smartphone on MediaTek’s truly 8-core SoC from MTTTROX - MT6592 (maximum core frequency 2 GHz). 2015 has become very busy for TCL and its fans.
