What the reviewers said

Trusted Reviews UK

2.5/5Oct 14, 2022

A fairly unremarkable budget phone with distinctive looks and good endurance, but weak display, sluggish performance and an inflexible camera system.

  • Distinctive bumper design stands out among cheap phones
  • Strong battery life, lasts a day or two
  • Main camera performs well in strong daylight
  • Very slow MediaTek Helio G25 performance
  • Low-resolution 720p LCD display lacks sharpness and pop
  • No Night mode, no ultra-wide or telephoto camera
  • Cluttered TCL UI 4.0 software with bloatware
  • Slow 15W charging

Verdicts, pros and cons are short summaries in our words of each publisher's review; scores are as the publisher gave them. Specs are taken from the reviews' spec boxes — where they differ, we show the value most of them give; price is the US launch price of the base model. Read the originals for the full picture.
