TCL 10 5G – Another well-priced smartphone with admirable specs. We go hands-on!


Coming to Three UK in mercury grey from August 5th, this is the TCL 10 5G. You’ll be able to pick it up from just £19 month on the network.

It’s 5G and, when you’re at home, it can connect to both your 2.4GHz and your 5GHz WiFi access point at the same time for additional speed.

CPU-wise you’re getting the same Qualcomm Snapdragon 765G processor (octa-core up to 2.4GHz) that we saw in the OnePlus Nord. There’s 128GB of storage (which can be boosted to 1TB via a microSD card) and 6GB of RAM here.

Packing a 6.53″ FHD+ Dotch LCD 19.5:9 display (1080 x 2340 pixels) this gets 395 ppi and gives a screen-to-body ratio of 91%. The screen has a Reading Mode and a “Comfort Mode” to make things easier on your eyes.

Around the back there’s four cameras – a 64 megapixel main, 8 megapixel wide, 5 megapixel macro and 2 megapixel depth shooter, all mounted horizontally.

Up front is a 16 megapixel selfie shooter which has 4-in-1 “Big Pixel Technology” for “Luminous Selfies”.

Powered by a 4500mAh battery there’s also 18W/QC 3.0 fast charging and 7.5W OTG reverse charging t’boot.

Other features include GPS, Bluetooth 5.0, NFC (for those contactless payments) and a 3.5mm audio jack. There’s a fingerprint reader on the back.
