TCL Communication introduced the new Alcatel 1T tablet series at Mobile World Congress in Barcelona: the Alcatel 1T 10 and Alcatel 1T 7.

"Today, more than ever, we count on our mobile devices to keep us connected to the news, people and entertainment we love, and with our all-new Alcatel 1T tablets, we're giving consumers around the world a fantastic tablet experience," said Christian Gatti, global president of the Alcatel business division and executive VP of TCL Communication.

"Not only are these two of the best tablets we've ever made, they're also two of the most affordable Android Oreo tablets in the market starting at under EUR100."

Both tablets will be available later in the second quarter of this year across Europe, Latin America, Asia and SA. The 1T 10's starting price is EUR99.99 (R1 400) while the 1T 7 costs EUR69.99 (R1 000). Local prices will be announced closer to the time of launch in SA.

They feature Kids Mode, a dedicated mode that comes with pre-loaded applications and content, such as games, kids' camera and drawing app. This mode also comes with a built-in parental control interface that gives parents the ability to set usage limits.

The tablet series also features 'Eye Care Mode', which is designed to reduce blue light in order to relieve visual fatigue for users. The tablets come with the latest Android 8.1 Oreo operating system.

The Alcatel 1T 10 tablet has a 10.1-inch display and weighs 415g. It comes with a 4 000mAh battery that lasts for up to eight hours on one charge, along with 16GB of internal storage and microSD expanded storage up to 128GB and there is an optional Bluetooth keyboard to make typing easier.

The Alcatel 1T 7 weighs in at 245g and is 9.15mm thin. The 2 580mAh battery provides seven hours of usage.
