Short Review
- The TCL 20 XE features a sleek design with dimensions of 164.6 x 75 x 9 mm and a weight of 195g, available in Moonlight Grey.
- Its 6.52-inch IPS LCD display offers a resolution of 720 x 1600 pixels, providing decent clarity at approximately 269 ppi, though it lacks HDR support and has a 60Hz refresh rate.
- Powered by the Mediatek MT6762 Helio P22 chipset, the phone operates smoothly with its octa-core 2.0 GHz CPU and 3GB of RAM, suitable for everyday tasks.
- The camera setup includes a 13 MP main sensor with additional 2 MP depth and macro lenses, capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps, while the 5 MP front camera serves basic selfie needs.
- A robust 5000 mAh battery ensures extended usage, with 18W charging support, although it does not offer wireless charging.
- Running on Android 11 with TCL UI 3.0, the software experience is straightforward but lacks advanced features.
- Connectivity options include Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 5.0, and a USB Type-C port, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The absence of stereo speakers is noted, yet a headphone jack is included for wired audio.
- Overall, the TCL 20 XE presents a balanced set of specifications for casual users without high demands.
