At first only in the United States and almost parallel to the launch of the TCL 10 5G UW, the Chinese manufacturer has launched the TCL TAB Family Edition on the United States market.

Just like the smartphone, the new Chinese tablet's main attraction is its price, which is quite competitive compared to its main competitors in the category. Offered by Verizon, the TCL TAB Family Edition hits US stores for US$199,99 (R$1.141,16).

The device has practically the same hardware specifications as the TCL TAB 8, which was launched in early October. As for the TAB, although it does not offer cutting-edge technologies to compete with the iPad, it remains an option for a wide range of users. It has an 8-inch Full HD display, Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 processor, 3GB of RAM and 32GB of internal storage, expandable via MicroSD card. As for the battery, it is 5550 mAh, and promises a charging autonomy of up to 17 hours for the user, in addition to offering the option of reverse charging, which allows you to use one device to charge another. For this function, however, it is necessary to buy the OTG cable separately.

The TCL TAB Family Edition runs on Android 10, but will receive the Operating System update to Android 11. In addition, the manufacturer guarantees that the device will receive quarterly security updates for at least two years.
