Review: TCL 10 Pro

By Canadian Reviewer Staff

TCL may not be the first company to come to mind when it comes to flagship smartphones. This is the world’s number two television maker after all and has built a name for itself in making premium screen technology widely available.  

What most people don’t know is that TCL has been in the smartphone game for some time. It was a licensee of brands like Alcatel, Palm, and BlackBerry. TCL was behind the resurgent KeyOne and Key2 models, the very last smartphones that featured QWERTY keyboards.  

The TCL 10 Pro comes as a complete surprise in a year where many of us are in dire need of good news. For the price of a base iPhone SE 2, the TCL 10 Pro offers an impressive and crisp 6.47” FHD curved AMOLED display the likes that we’ve only seen on flagship Samsung phones. This TCL 10 Pro has a four camera array with up to 64MP ultra-high resolution photo capability, plus standalone  macro, super-wide angle, and low-light cameras as well as a 24 megapixel front facing camera. It also features an in-display fingerprint sensor and face unlock, something that some other flagship smartphones don’t even have yet. 

Consider a fast-charging 4500 man battery with OTG reverse charging and a decent Qualcomm Snapdragon 675 Octa-core processor with 6GB of RAM and 128 GB of onboard storage, and it looks like TCL has hit the sweet spot in terms of features given its  $700 CAD  (Bell) and 665 CAD (Telus) pricing.

Microsoft no longer offers 12-month Xbox Live Gold plans

Microsoft has confirmed that it's stopped offering the 12-month Xbox Live Gold plans to its users. But the 1- and 3-month plans are still available. The company didn't explain why it decided to stop selling the annual plan. Speculation is that Microsoft might want to focus on Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, or it might want to introduce a new service when the Xbox Series X launches. The news comes as Microsoft ceased production of the Xbox One X and Xbox One S All-Digital. The company's Xbox chief Phil Spencer also recently confirmed that Xbox Game Pass Ultimate would bundle in Project xCloud game streaming service, which means these subscribers don't need to spend extra on xCloud when it launches in September.

'Worms Armageddon' gets update 21 years after release

Most games get a couple of years of support from developers. Not many can say that they get support over 20 years after the game came out. So, fans of 1999's Worms Armageddon are in for a treat. The game's developer Team17 quietly released a significant update for Worms, which comes with 370 fixes, 45 changes, and 61 new features. The surprise update arrives on the 25th anniversary of the original Worms game.

It now has RubberWorm integration, a popular mod that players can install to change its physics. Seventy new settings can change how the match plays out. The game's engine was tweaked for smoother animations. And it now supports windowed mode, too. The clincher is it still works with Windows 95 and other old operating systems. So, if the nostalgia has hit you, now's the best time to play Worms Armageddon.
