TCL 20 5G and TCL 20 SE – The premiere of new, reasonably priced smartphones with Qualcomm Snadpragon series systems
Source: Pure PC added 11th Jan 2021TCL, known primarily for the production of TV sets, introduces two new mobile devices to its product offer, while this year’s line 20 will get a total of five smartphones. TCL 20 5G and 20 SE, which we will talk about in a moment, will be available in Polish stores at the end of January, at the latest in February. Interestingly, these models will also be included in the offers of our telecoms. We will have to wait for the availability of TCL Pro 5G, TCL L and TCL S, so we will focus only on two frescoes, which are a direct continuation of the TCL series 10. These smartphones differ not only in appearance and price, but also, and maybe even above all, extremely different technical specifications.
The premiere of TCL smartphones 20 5G and TCL 20 SE. Two of the five series models 20 from TCL have just been officially presented. We check their technical specification, availability and prices.
POCO M3 smartphone test – Stereo speaker power, unusual design and battery life 6000 mAh are impressive
Currently testing TCL 10 Plus and in the coming days a test of the device will be published on our website. Meanwhile, the manufacturer decided to expand its product portfolio with new models. Let’s start with the weaker one. Yes, the underdog. Let us not be afraid to use this term for budget planners. TCL 20 SE is inexpensive, because it costs only 149 euro (approximately 670 PLN ) smartphone running Android 11 with Qualcomm Snapdragon 460, Adreno artwork 610, 4 GB RAM and 64 GB of eMCP memory. The performance is provided by a battery with a capacity 5000 mAh charged with power 15 When using the USB connector -C. The equipment supports WiFi b / g / n, Bluetooth 5.0, NFC and the Dual SIM function. Unfortunately, the latter is a hybrid solution.
TCL C 71 and TCL C 81 – QLED TVs with Dolby Vision and HDR 10 +
Visually TCL 20 SE is doing quite well for this price range. Here we get a large one, as many as 6, 82 – an inch screen with a V-shaped notch for the camera. Unfortunately, the resolution is only 1640 x 720 pixels by aspect ratio 20. 5 : 9. The bezels surrounding the screen are far too wide by today’s standards. The smartphone is quite heavy, as it weighs 206 grams per dimensions 172, 08 x 77, 14 x 9.1 mm. The manufacturer has placed here a photo set consisting of 16 MP wide angle camera with f / 1.7 light, 5 MP ultra wide angle f / 2.2 and 2 MP cameras with f / 2.4 aperture for macro and depth of field detection. Selfie made with 8MP front camera with f / 2.0 light.
TCL 20 5G is a higher model, but as the price suggests 299 euro (approx. 1350, this is a device medium shelf. We can count on a more attractive appearance, smaller frames and a more efficient photographic set. The manufacturer put 6 here, 67 – inch screen with resolution 2400 x 1080 pixels, Qulacomm Snapdragon chip 690, Adreno graphics 619, 6 GB LPDDR4X RAM and 82 or 256 GB of UFS 2.1 storage. The latter can be extended with the use of microSD cards for another 206 GB. A battery that we charge with a strong 18 W, can “boast” capacity 4500 mAh . We will take photos using a photo set consisting of 48 MP wide-angle main unit with f / 1.8 optics, 8 MP ultra-wide angle with f / 2.2 aperture and 2 MP macro units. For selfie photos the MP front module with f / 2.0 light hidden in the dot-shaped screen notch is responsible.
