I was passing my old phone down to my son and bought this as an inexpensive replacement. The last TCL phone I owned was very good so I wanted to give this one a try at such a good deal when I bought it. (149.99). This rating is based on budget phones, not all phones. If you want to burn $300 plus, there are several amazing options that beat this one. As far as budget phones, it’s a lot of bang for your buck, and worth a look if you want a large screen like I do, because I have big hands and like the extra space for typing. It’s very well constructed and feels more expensive than it is. The screen is huge and vibrant. The fingerprint scanner and facial recognition work great, though I don’t prefer the fingerprint scanner be on the back, because while out of cases it’s super intuitive, as I’ve found out, some cases are too thick and make the scanner impossible to use. The case that comes with it, still allows you to use it. And it functions very well. The camera is as good as you’ll ever see at this price point. If you are wondering if you are spending too much on smartphones and are looking to check into the budget market, this is definitely one to look at.

So I purchased my phone about two months ago. I am not a very tech savvy individual but I still understand operating systems and quality. As a smart phone it’s fairly quick in regards to processing speeds, downloading speeds, and operating system. The screen is very clear and vivid. The weight of the phone is very light which feels very comfortable in your hand. It comes with the fastest charging block I’ve had in my life. The block will charge this phone from 0% to 100% in 20-30 minutes, however, hooking any other block up to this phone and it will take you hours to fully charge.
So I’m not usually some one who writes reviews let alone go into details in the reviews. I truly like this phone I wish it doesn’t have the issues it currently has, so I felt sharing with others my technical issues it might assist others in their choice. In the first month of having the phone it would randomly mostly at night make a quiet but noticable static noise. Most of the time if I would connect the charger to the phone when it was doing that it would almost immediately stop. I honestly thought there was something wrong with the battery and it was going to explode, but instead of making waves over the infrequent noise and sending it back, I decided to keep it. Now 1 month after all the static sounds and it has completely stopped. However, now I have zero sound from my speaker. I can call and text and can clearly hear and be heard, but any music a play or videos it’s a whisper at full volume. Which is absolutely annoying when you’re not a fan of head phones and enjoy sharing obnoxious music with your friends and family. Lastly, just like a lot of the phones on here specifically TCL branded phones it’s extremely difficult to find a cell phone case that actually protects your phone. The closest I found for protection was the flimsy or “light weight” silicone case that cheap companies disperse with focus on the designs/colors but not so much durability. If I still had the option I would return this phone and find something else. As I said in the beginning I love this phone, it has worked well, and the issues I’ve had could be a lot worse. It still doesn’t change the fact that it’s been having issues every month I’ve had it and I really don’t see it lastly for a full year tbh. I hope this helps others in there choices.

Needed to get a new phone for the daughter since her old one finally bit the dust. This phone is a great stepping stone into the android world without breaking the bank. It does everything it should do and not a whole lot more. The camera is decent, not high end quality but honestly on par with some of the other mid tier phones. The battery is great and lasts my kid the full day with no complaints. The set up was fairly easy, could have been smoother but for the price I can’t be angry. I did notice some “lag” when running multiple apps and taxes the CPU. I haven’t heard any complaints yet and I think the only reason I noticed is I am used to a little faster processor. Overall I would say it is a great phone for a teen, or someone who needs to do basic phone tasks and is not gaming extensively or expecting a top tier product.

I bought one of these for my teen son as he doesn’t take care of his electronics at all. This is his second TCL phone. I bought it without a warranty and he shattered the screen 30 mins after I set it up and handed it to him. The included case is slicker than the phone. I bought a second one for him and a warranty this time. I wouldn’t use face unlock as it doesn’t have an infrared camera, so face unlock is not very secure. Even though the claims to be a TCL 30XL, it shows up in his google security alert that it is a TCL 20 SE.

Like the phone. Wish the phone was WIDER. Had some problems but I think it was related to the network and not the phone. Time will tell. I hope it is better than that piece of junk Moto G i previously had.
