Comparisons Featuring TCL 10 5G
Short Review
- The TCL 10 5G features a robust design with a glass front and back, aluminum frame, and weighs 210g, making it feel premium in hand.
- Its 6.53-inch IPS LCD display supports HDR10 with a resolution of 1080 x 2340 pixels, providing vibrant colors and decent brightness at 450 nits.
- Powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G chipset, it delivers smooth performance with an octa-core CPU and Adreno 620 GPU, complemented by 6GB of RAM.
- The camera setup includes a versatile 64 MP main sensor, an 8 MP ultrawide, a 5 MP macro, and a 2 MP depth sensor, capable of recording 4K video at 30fps.
- The 16 MP front camera captures decent selfies, although it lacks advanced features like OIS.
- Battery life is solid with a 4500mAh capacity, supporting 18W fast charging but no wireless charging.
- Running on Android 10 with TCL UI, the software experience is user-friendly, though it may not be the latest version.
- Connectivity options include 5G support, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n/ac, Bluetooth 5.0, and NFC.
- The phone also retains a headphone jack, which is becoming less common in modern devices.
