TCL 10L reviewed

We review the TCL 10L which is part of the new TCL 10 Series. This line-up of Android devices will leverage TCL-made high-resolution displays and the company’s NXTVISION visual technology, each device comes with a high-quality quad rear-camera setup, Qualcomm® Snapdragon™ processors, and more flagship-style features for under €450. The 10 Series includes TCL’s first 5G smartphone and the company’s first device that uses a TCL-made curved AMOLED display.

TCL 10L reviewed

This is the companies first 5G-enabled smartphone, and for the price, and the power it packs, it’s not a bad effort at all. It also came with a couple of choices of cover, which snuggly and effectively wrapped the phone in a smart and workable way to protect it. It is not too far along the scale in terms of size creep and will, just about, fit into your pocket without too much pain or discomfort. Personally we could probably live with it being a fraction smaller, but it would not be a dealer breaker for most users.

A lot of the functions are pretty easy to figure out and pretty soon the younger members of our testing team were already figuring out how to make slowmo sequences and mini animation sequences. The robustness of the phone, combined with it’s pricing, and it’s ease of use does make this a device you would not be uncomfortable with handing over to the younger content creators in the house for their selfies and tick tock moments.

The selfies work pretty well, and in terms of photo effects and image editing there is enough here to play around with and learn from for a first time user, with good enough robustness that you can be confident that your younger users will learn plenty on this phone, while also creating some good visual results along the way too.

The screen capture option also works pretty well, and has resulted in the phone being used as a workout and yoga viewing device too, so it has nudged creativity and imagination during lockdown too. It will be interesting to see how TCL develops and evolve on their journey into the smartphone market but this is definitely a solid point of entry.
