TCL 30XL Unlocked Cell Phone, 6.82 inch Vast Display, 5000mAh Battery, Android 12 Smartphone, 50MP Rear 13MP Front Camera, 6GB RAM 64GB ROM, US Version, Dual Speaker, LTE 4G Phone, Night Mist

Cons, The screen is not pure inky black and has poor side viewing. The cameras are not world class. Feels sluggish at times. You need high sensitivity, low impedance headphones to get the most out of the 3.5mm headphone jack PROs The screen gets BRIGHT, and when looking at the phone head on, it is vivid and clear The camera app is intuitive, easy to use, and pro mode is a bunch of fun... for me anyway! after 3-4 hours of updates, disabling\removing bloatware and unwanted programs, the phone feels responsive and I'm able to play hill climb racing 2 without any hiccups. As a phone goes, everyone says my voice is clear, not much low end in the ear speaker from the other person, but it goes loud and it is clear, same goes for the stereo speakers at the bottom, speakerphone works well, there is no time warp delay, or hearing yourself when you call. I believe I have actually upgraded my phone, as a phone. My note 20 ultra 5g SUCKED as a phone constantly dropping calls. This phone feels premium in the had and the cameras are protected by the thinnest of phone cases. the clear included case works perfectly fine! ______________________________________________________________________________ I am very happy with it, overall. 10/10 FOR PRICE/PERFORMANCE would recommend this phone to anyone who does not care if things are INSTANT. I think they used SLOW lpddr, paired with slow mmlc 64GB creating a unique bandwidth problem. The pages scroll much better after things are loaded. (I'm using the phone for texting, conference, and yep, phone calls all are instant with no lag whatsoever, same with home-screen/phone/settings navigation all really smooth)

Usually, I don't review items, but I was sooo pleased with this phone. My kid needed a new phone to replace his old Verizon prepaid phone, so I bought him this one. When I put the old phone's card into this one, I could get connection immediately. The camera is very functional and impressive. You can easily switch between different lenses to snap variety styles of pictures. The main camera sensor performs best in my opinion; I am really impressed with the picture quality. Compared to the old phone, the battery life is fantastic. It can easily last two to three days if you are not a heavy phone user. Trust me; if you are searching for a budget device, you won't be disappointed with this phone!

So I purchased my phone about two months ago. I am not a very tech savvy individual but I still understand operating systems and quality. As a smart phone it's fairly quick in regards to processing speeds, downloading speeds, and operating system. The screen is very clear and vivid. The weight of the phone is very light which feels very comfortable in your hand. It comes with the fastest charging block I've had in my life. The block will charge this phone from 0% to 100% in 20-30 minutes, however, hooking any other block up to this phone and it will take you hours to fully charge. So I'm not usually some one who writes reviews let alone go into details in the reviews. I truly like this phone I wish it doesn't have the issues it currently has, so I felt sharing with others my technical issues it might assist others in their choice. In the first month of having the phone it would randomly mostly at night make a quiet but noticable static noise. Most of the time if I would connect the charger to the phone when it was doing that it would almost immediately stop. I honestly thought there was something wrong with the battery and it was going to explode, but instead of making waves over the infrequent noise and sending it back, I decided to keep it. Now 1 month after all the static sounds and it has completely stopped. However, now I have zero sound from my speaker. I can call and text and can clearly hear and be heard, but any music a play or videos it's a whisper at full volume. Which is absolutely annoying when you're not a fan of head phones and enjoy sharing obnoxious music with your friends and family. Lastly, just like a lot of the phones on here specifically TCL branded phones it's extremely difficult to find a cell phone case that actually protects your phone. The closest I found for protection was the flimsy or "light weight" silicone case that cheap companies disperse with focus on the designs/colors but not so much durability. If I still had the option I would return this phone and find something else. As I said in the beginning I love this phone, it has worked well, and the issues I've had could be a lot worse. It still doesn't change the fact that it's been having issues every month I've had it and I really don't see it lastly for a full year tbh. I hope this helps others in there choices.

TCL 30XL Unlocked Cell Phone, 6.82 inch Vast Display, 5000mAh Battery, Android 12 Smartphone, very good phone for the cost. I am not a user of this type of phone and sent it back to the maker. while I it and tried to use it. I found it to be well made and very good at what and whom it was made for, but I got stared with apple iPhone and prefer that type phone and found one in my local area and purchased a used in very good condition and have not looked back. mo new used phone is an 11 pro max which should lasd me for 3 years until Apple no longer needs that phone.

Purchased for my daughter to replace a lost phone. Great camera, big screen. But 37 days after the purchase arrived, all of a sudden the speaker doesn't work on calls. The caller can hear her , but she cannot hear them, on speaker or through the handset. This issue started at the same time the phone started crackling randomly. It sounds like radio static coming from the speaker. (the phone has NOT gotten wet or been damaged) If she plugs in headphones, she can hear on a call.. .she can play sound in apps.... We have checked all the settings and can't find anything pertaining to this problem.
