The TCL 20 SE, announced back at CES, is also getting its legs in America with Amazon selling it today for $190. The budget device covers most, but not all LTE bands on AT&T and T-Mobile.
And if you didn't have enough to consider with your upcoming true wireless earbuds purchase, TCL has a new pair of those, too: the MOVEAUDIO S600 features 10mm drivers, hybrid active noise cancellation, an IP54 rating, and promoted battery life of 5 hours with ANC, 7 hours without, and four extra cycles with the charging case. They're available in Graphite Gray, Pure Marble, and Silver Chrome, on Amazon for $100.
Through July 5, TCL 20 Pro 5G buyers get the MOVE AUDIO S600 bundled in while TCL 20S buyers can get the MOVEAUDIO S150 for free.
