In addition to the Q6, TCL is also launching the entry-level S-series models S4 and S3 built on Amazon's Fire TV platform.
Instead of trying to build its own tight ecosystem, TCL is covering its bases by partnering with three big players. The agreement with Amazon was formally announced this month.
- "We’re excited to expand the global reach of our Fire TV smart TV business by offering our first TCL lineup in the United States with the launch of the TCL Q and S Class with Fire TV built in," said Daniel Rausch, VP of Alexa and Entertainment Devices & Services, Amazon.

TCL S4 and S3
In addition to the Q6 Fire TVs that launched a few months ago, TCL's S4 and S3 are now available in sizes ranging from 32 to 75 inches as inexpensive models for the living room or other rooms.
Fire TV provides access to all of the well-known streaming services including Amazon Prime, Apple TV+, Disney+, Max and Netflix, and the TVs come with an Alexa-enabled voice remote in the box.
S4 and S3 features 4K and 1080p resolution, respectively. Only the S4 supports Apple's TV features, AirPlay 2 and HomeKit.
TCL's S-series models are available now and start at $170 in 32 inches.
