We do not normally see many phones at CES, but this year companies have taken the time to sharpen their announcements, especially TCL and Motorola. Both launched new mid-range 5G phones at the show, the better to compete with Google’s existing Pixel 4a 5G which came out last year. You can see the specifications of all three devices in the table below to see how it measures in numbers, and come back later for our practical and complete reviews.
