The TCL 20 5G vs. the Motorola One 5G Ace and the Pixel 4a 5G

We don’t normally see a lot of phones at CES, but this year companies have seen fit to push up their announcements, particularly TCL and Motorola. Both have debuted new mid-range 5G phones at the show, the better to compete with Google’s existing Pixel 4a 5G that came out last year. You can check out the specs of all three handsets in the table below to see how they measure up in numbers, and come back later this year for our hands-on and full reviews.
