A lot is going on at the TCL booth during IFA Berlin 2026, so we thought we’d highlight some of the company’s best-on-show televisions. Mini LED panels have been widely celebrated by TCL lately, especially after retaining its status as the #1 brand for Mini LED TV shipments worldwide. Its flagship X11L caught our eye in particular, boasting an impressive 10,000 nits peak brightness.

The X11L model offers “Flagship picture performance with up to 20,736 dimming zones,” and has already received a price cut following its release earlier this year (it’s over $500 off right now). TCL has also been showcasing its recently launched OLED+ gaming monitors, and for someone entirely new to IFA, TCL has launched its new P80 Series smartphones with two models.

The new P80 Series smartphones are advertised as “the first smartphones worldwide to feature NXTPAPER AMOLED,” which combines the vivid colors and deep contrast of OLED with the reduced glare and blue-light exposure of NXTPAPER. The latter is a panel technology designed to replicate E-Ink quality (like you’ll find on a Kindle). The P80 Ultra boasts a 6.83-inch display with a 120Hz refresh rate; TCL says the “standout feature” is its 50MP 3x periscope telephoto camera with optical and electronic image stabilization.

As for the A1 Series tablets, TCL says the series offers something “For users seeking the most complete large-screen NXTPAPER experience”. The TAB A1 NXTPAPER model ships with a 12.2-inch 2.4K display and up to a 120Hz refresh rate. Under the hood, it features a Snapdragon 4 Gen 2 chip, a 10,000 mAh battery, and up to 33W charging.

Mini LED Leadership Across Entertainment and Design

TCL’s IFA 2026 TV showcase spans flagship home cinema, gaming and everyday viewing, with a focus on picture quality, performance and design. TCL has been driving Mini LED innovation since 2018. Its televisions received four EISA Awards in 2026, while TCL ranked No. 1 worldwide in Mini LED TV shipments in 2025, with a 31.1% global shipment share.

From QD-Mini LED and RGB-Mini LED to SQD-Mini LED, TCL’s Mini LED portfolio is designed to meet different viewing needs, with SQD-Mini LED representing the latest evolution. At the heart of the range are the TCL X11L, C8L and C7L SQD-Mini LED TVs.

The flagship X11L SQD-Mini LED TV delivers TCL’s ultimate picture performance, with up to 20,736 precise dimming zones, up to 10,000 nits of peak brightness and support for up to 100% BT.2020 All Scenes Wide Color Gamut for a clearer and more lifelike picture.

The C8L brings SQD-Mini LED technology to the premium family entertainment space, combining up to 6,000 nits of peak brightness and up to 4,032 precise dimming zones with integrated cinematic sound from Audio by Bang & Olufsen and Dolby Atmos.

The C7L is built for streaming, sports and gaming, with a native 144Hz refresh rate, up to HDR 3000 nits of peak brightness and up to 2,176 precise dimming zones for an impactful on-screen picture.

Alongside the SQD-Mini LED range, the TCL A400 Pro NXTVISION TV combines QD-Mini LED display technology with a design created for contemporary interiors, transforming into an art display when not in use.

TCL’s wider Mini LED portfolio also includes the RM9L and RM7L RGB-Mini LED TVs. RGB Precise Dimming technology uses individually controlled red, green and blue light sources to support more precise light and colour control.
