TCL has announced the Movetime MT48, a kids’ smartwatch designed to enhance safety, connectivity, and creativity. The device features L1+L5 dual-band GPS for high-precision location tracking, updating every second. Parents can set custom safe zones and receive real-time alerts if their child steps outside those boundaries. The smartwatch also supports popular third-party navigation apps for added convenience.

TCL Movetime MT48 Specifications

The Movetime MT48 supports 4G video calling, VoLTE voice calls, voice messages, SMS, and media sharing. An emergency SOS button lets kids instantly share their live location with parents during critical situations. TCL has equipped the watch with a 900mAh battery, delivering up to 2.5 days of regular use or up to 7 days on standby. It carries IP68 and 2ATM water resistance, making it suitable for swimming and outdoor play.

Parents can use the TCL Connect App to activate School Time Mode, which disables games, the camera, group chats, and notifications during school hours while keeping emergency features active. The app also allows scheduling of alarms, reminders, and daily routines to build healthy digital habits.

For creative engagement, the Movetime MT48 includes motion-responsive watch faces, a step tracker, and AI tools for generating fun images and guessing games. Kids can add friends by shaking their watches together, though parental approval is required to activate this feature.

The watch is powered by a Unisoc W377 chipset with a proprietary operating system, 512MB ROM, 4GB RAM, and a 1.68-inch TFT display. It is available in four colors: Galactic Blue, Cosmic Pink, Lunar Cream, and Nebula Grey.

Pricing and Availability

TCL will launch the Movetime MT48 in Germany, the UK, Spain, Italy, and France starting late October at a retail price of €150. The smartwatch meets all applicable European safety and privacy standards. TCL also unveiled the NxtPaper 5G Junior smartphone, which features eye-care display technology and a Digital Detox Mode tailored for young users.

TCL has launched the QM9K QD-Mini LED TV series as its new flagship lineup. It features brightness upgrades, advanced dimming precision, and integrated AI. The series builds on last year’s QM8K and comes as the first Google TV range to include Google Gemini.

TCL QM9K Specifications

The QM9K comes in sizes ranging from 65 to 98 inches. It equips TCL’s Halo Control System, which manages up to 6,000 local dimming zones and delivers peak HDR brightness of 6,500 nits. TCL claims this results in 30% higher brightness and 57% more dimming zones compared to the QM8K. It sports a CrystGlow WHVA panel with a ZeroBorder design that provides wider viewing angles, vivid colors, and reduced blooming in high-contrast scenes.

The smart features receive a major upgrade. It comes with Google Gemini running natively, enabling conversational voice queries, contextual search, and follow-up questions. It equips an mmWave presence sensor that can wake the TV, adjust modes, or show screensavers when someone enters the room. It also features far-field microphones and a backlit voice remote for both hands-free and push-to-talk commands.

The QM9K also focuses on gaming performance. It features a native 144Hz refresh rate and Game Accelerator 288, which supports up to 288Hz variable refresh rates in certain scenarios. It comes with AMD FreeSync Premium Pro, Auto Low Latency Mode, and TCL’s Game Bar for real-time adjustments. It also supports Motion Rate 480 with MEMC technology, which is included to improve clarity in fast-moving content.

The audio system comes tuned by Bang & Olufsen and features Dolby Atmos along with Flex Connect support for flexible speaker setups. Connectivity includes four HDMI 2.1 ports with eARC, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, Chromecast, and Apple AirPlay 2. It also works with Alexa, Google Assistant, and Apple HomeKit.

Pricing and Availability

The TCL QM9K series will be available later this month at Best Buy and regional retailers in sizes from 65 to 98 inches.

In related news, TCL has recently launched the NxtPaper 60 Ultra with a 7.2-inch eye-care display, AI features, and a Dimensity 7400 chip, while the NxtPaper 5G Junior debuts as a kid-focused phone with built-in eye protection and parental controls.

TCL has announced the Nxtpaper 5G Junior, a smartphone built for children with an emphasis on eye protection and screen time management. The device made its debut at IFA 2025 in Berlin and will go on sale in Europe this December for £159. Each unit will include a protective case. TCL has not confirmed availability for other markets.

The Nxtpaper 5G Junior is part of TCL’s Nxtpaper lineup, which uses a paper-like display to reduce strain on the eyes. The phone features a dedicated button for “Max Ink Mode,” which switches the screen into a monochrome, E Ink-style view. This mode reduces eye fatigue during reading sessions, limits gaming because of its restricted visuals, and helps extend battery life.

TCL has equipped the phone with a complete set of parental controls supported by Google Family Link. These allow parents to filter content, monitor screen time, and control app access. The device also includes a “digital detox” mode that promotes healthier breaks from screen use.

To make the experience more appealing to children, TCL has introduced a collection of cartoon characters known as the “AI Genius Squad,” which are integrated into the phone’s features.

The device comes with a 6.7-inch screen, which may feel large for children’s hands, especially with the bundled case attached. It offers 256GB of storage, a dual rear camera setup, and standard 5G connectivity. While the generous storage and camera system make it a capable device, the size could be less comfortable for younger users.

TCL is positioning the Nxtpaper 5G Junior as part of its wider push to address the impact of prolonged screen exposure. The company’s Nxtpaper technology focuses on creating displays that are easier on the eyes, and this model extends that mission to children.

Alongside this phone, TCL has also launched the Nxtpaper 60 Ultra at IFA 2025 with a 7.2″ eye-care display, AI tools & Dimensity 7400.
