TCL K70 power with 6,500mAh battery, Helio G100 chip revealed, TCL K70 will follow
TCL quietly launched two new 4G phones, the K70 and K70 Power. There seems to be a third one, but no information about it.
Let’s take a look at the TCL K70 Power first as that is actually on Lazada Thailand. The phone has a Helio G100 Turbo chipset with 4GB or 8GB of RAM. Storage is 256GB in either case and there’s a hybrid slot that offers a choice between two SIM cards or SIM+microSD.
TCL K70 Power: Helio G100 Turbo chipset • 6,500mAh battery
The “Power” in the name refers to the 6,500mAh battery with 33W charging. According to official numbers, the phone should last up to 3 days on a single charge. If you push it, you should get more than 12 hours of gaming or up to 21 hours of watching videos on a single charge. The battery is rated for 1,000 charge cycles (retaining at least 80% of its original capacity), which should be enough for 5 years of use.
On the front is a 6.8″ LCD with a resolution of 720 x 1,570px and a refresh rate of 120Hz. Using sunlight mode, the display can reach a maximum brightness of 750 nits. There is an 8MP selfie camera that sits in the front hole.

Apart from the appearance, there is only one camera on the back – a 50MP module. The second lens is the assistant. The phone is equipped with stereo speakers with DTS support and there is a 3.5mm headphone jack. The fingerprint reader is mounted on the side.
The K70 Power is IP64 rated for splash resistance. It also has Bluetooth 6.0 and NFC connectivity. But again, it only has a 4G modem. And the USB port has only v2.0 speed cables, but that’s not what he said.

The TCL K70 Power can be pre-ordered in Nebula Blue and Space Grey. The 4/256GB model costs THB 13,090 ($415/€350/ ₹37,500), while the model with 8GB of RAM goes up to THB 14,090 ($445/€380/ ₹40,000).
Note that while you get a USB-C 2.0 cable in the box and a TPU case, you will have to provide your own 33W charger.
Features of TCL K70 Power
The TCL K70 uses the same Helio G100 chipset and the same 6.8″ 120Hz 720p+ LCD. However, we’ve seen one configuration so far, 4/128GB, and the battery is smaller at 5,200mAh.
There is a user manual (PDF) for the K70 over at tcl.com, but the phone itself is MIA. We could not find it in any stores.

It is seen in Infor Valencia, an IT maintenance company, surprisingly. Looking at the site, it seems to be a supplier rather than a regular store, so the following may not be 100% correct. The TCL K70 is listed for €135.50 (including VAT), while the K70 Power (4/256GB) is listed for €174.05. The information listed in Infor Valencia is the same as in the manual, for that matter.
There is evidence of a cheaper TCL K70 SE model with 64GB storage, but that’s all we know about it so far.
Thanks for the tip!
