Customer Ratings & Reviews

My wife screwed up her charging port on her phone and we needed to find a phone fast and on a BUDGET. OMG she stop saying thank you all day lol. I've bought Tcl televisions before but this was my first in the cellphone department. Right out the box its gorgeous and feels great in hand. Operation is very smooth and haven't encountered any glitches. Display is beautiful with great viewing angles even in daylight.. Pictures are great but nothing like a Samsung but you can always edit. Phone says it doesn't support rapid/fast charging but it only took 1hr 15 minutes from 39% to 100% which is very good for this price point. Face and fingerprint unlocking is super fast. Overall hands down one of this years best budget phone with premium feel.

Want to put 4 and half stars but can't. This is so far one of the best phones I have had as a budget phone. The main reason for half star off, is that there is only one major update from Android 10 to Android 11. Not really to me a great start for a company to only give one major update. Plus, part of that half star taken off is, that I have not received this so called Android 11 update, and they are showing that USA is last again with another foreigner country. Not trying to be rude, but if you expect customers to rate you better, then make them feel comfortable with your products first, and not hold them last after others. If I actually got Android 12 after a while too, then I would think differently. Anyways, back to my thoughts about the actually usage of phone. I need a phone with more than 32gb ROM, and this had 64gb ROM. This also enticed me with the 6gb RAM. I have read reviews that say this phone lags. Well, I have slight lag but really not noticeable, just in the settings app, and scrolling, and most other times through any other part of the phone was smooth sailing. Battery is the same as my other phone, Samsung Galaxy A20. So last about the same. I was looking for a phone to utilize the Qualcomm AptX HD codec, and this phone does use it, with my Cleer Enduro 100 headphones, NICE! Hard to find that codec on the phones, since Samsung is pushing towards their own stuff now, and took the codec off their phones. There is one slight problem with this phone, and I think it is TCL phones only. The recents app where the apps stay in background, if you have more than 3 apps open, then apps get bumped out automatically, and this is a TCL problem, because I never had issues like that with other phones. I could have more than 10 open with Samsung phones, and still not get an app bumped out of recents. Besides this, the phone is one of the best I have had for the price. What I do not get from reviews, that compare to Motorola phones is that Motorola is actually better. The only thing Motorola has for them, is the splash resistant, and that is nothing much to water resistant. Motorola phones do not even have NFC for the price range but this one does. So this one you can use payments with it. So I am glad I chose this over Motorola, and be missing out on NFC. I recommend this one. Just hope they change on the 1 major update to 2.

I had thought of buying a certified used cell phone but then I came across a review of this phone. It was a very good review so I figured I'd try it out. This phone has performed beyond my expectations. The screen looks great. It's LCD but it's bright and vibrant and over 6 inches with small bezels. The phone zips along-i have not had instances of it slowing down. Finger Print reader on the back and NFC so you can use Google Pay. The camera is not comparable to the best from Google or Apple but it was 70% cheaper than those phones. Calls sound great. The speaker is asking the bottom and is loud and clear and you can increase storage by popping in a micro SD card. Charging is done by USB-C. This phone gives you a ton of features for the money and I highly recommend it!

After using my TCL 10L phone for almost 4 months, I can safely say that I am extremely happy with my purchase. I bought it on sale for just over $200. For the price, it is a premium budget phone. 6 GB's of RAM, 64 GB's of internal storage, and expandable sd memory card slot for 128 more GB's of storage. Multitasking split screen for 2 apps simultaneously on screen. Also has a great camera.

Very excited about this TCL10L. It does everything I need without the 1k price. Email, shopping, work apps, you tube videos. The features are nice and work. Facial recognition, FM Radio, Finger scanner. Bluetooth connection no problems, have not tried the multiple yet. Camera, to me looks great, I'm no pro, but it blows up label's great so you can read them. It also comes with a case that feels good in your hand and screen protector (installed). Only extra thing you need is a SD and Sim. Works with ATT/T-Mobile GSM. Now I have not played any games or recorded videos yet. But for 250, I think I got a great deal.

I didn't know what to expect with a TCL branded phone. I know they make TVs so I thought "Why not?". This phone is amazing! Everything is fast and responsive. The battery last longer than my previous phone. The display is flawless. The honestly have nothing bad to say about it! I did some test just to compare this to the other unlocked phones in my house (LG Stylo 4, Moto G6, iPhone SE2). This TCL beat them all in my basic test of browsing, opening apps like, connecting to calls. I even used a benchmark app which showed my TCL as being better than the rest. I do hope this review helps other with their decision. This phone is fantastic!

Great phone to have on the budget. It has NFC and it works with Verizon! Just get your SIM card provisioned to work. I didn’t receive texts at first but called in to tech support at VZ and they provisioned my SIM card to be open to the carriers network. I was able to then receive texts. That was the only issue. The phone has a great smart key as well. Hopefully updates don’t change that. That was a cool idea for TCL to do. They will support their phone with updates as well. You will not feel like your behind the times with this phone. Screen is beautiful and yes the enhanced view is nice. Love watching Netflix and YouTube with it. The sound is loud too with the 1 speaker.

No need for a thousand dollar phone, which now lack things like headphone jacks and microSD expansion. I bought this phone on behalf of someone who didn't have a phone at all and settled on this because it was under 300 bucks, has a decent processor (SD665, not the fastest, but is fine for most everybody anyway), 6GB of RAM was a nice bonus, 64GB of internal storage should give you plenty of space for apps with room for the pictures you can take with their QUAD rear camera setup (which we tested some, including a low light pic that came out pretty good), and if needed, pop in a microSD card for additional storage. It has NFC (which is usually missing from budget phones), display looks good, great battery life (4,000mAh), speaker sounds good, near stock Android experience, and I have heard it'll get at least one major OS update (so it should get Android 11 at some point, probably , plus security updates for 2yrs), it came with a screen protector pre-installed and a simple clear case to give it some protection and make it easier to hold. Did I mention the headphone jack? The bit of time I was on it helping him set it up and customize it, I was impressed enough I think I might buy me one for myself.

I still own and use this phone after a year, it is not perfect, but for it has a lot going for it. TCL is a TV company and the display on this phone is fantastic. The form factor of this phone is the perfect size, big enough and narrow enough to fit comfortable in the palm. Very slick finish so very easy to drop, good things it comes with a good case included. The shinny finish is a finger print magnet. The problem with this phone is the slow processor which cause a lot of lag when operating, not a speedy and smooth phones, it feels very choppy. The other negative are the cameras, it has all kinds of cameras and a good interface, but the quality of the cameras are not good. In perfect lighting conditions it can take decent photos, but you better know what you doing and you got to work hard to obtain half good results. Battery life is good, not excellent, it will last a whole day. It charges fast with a good fast charger. It is a good mid range phone, not excellent, but good enough.

Very great performance of this cell phone. Camera quality if best. Battery is reliable for whole day normal use. As per price range of this device performance is exceptional.

The camera is excellent. The phone is fast and I have enough memory to store my files.

Works well but will not work with streight talk service. Also it wants to use Google for everything contacts and dialing and more. But it does seem to have a long battery life.

The best budget phone of the year. High quality display and 64MP camera. Never slows down when using multiple apps.

Excellent phone for the price. Does what the bigbboys phones do for a lot less. Good images with the cameras as well

Probably the best phone under $300 I have ever owned this phone takes excellent pictures and video comparable to phones that cost twice as much and it's displayed alone far out classes anything even up to the $500 range I would say Plus some unique software features make this phone stand out like the ability to connect multiple bluetooth speakers at once

So far so good. Much better functionality than the expensive laptop I got from them! One issue is that when I use selfie mode sometimes it lightens my skin. Also when I edit photos in their subpar editor then save them, soometimes the skin color drastically changes! I look burnt orange! That is super annoying. Got it on sale and can't complain. It came with a short charging cord but no adapter and no headphones.

I am impressed and satisfied with everything about this phone, replaced a samsung s10+ for a fraction of the price

I love it. My previous phone was the Galaxy S6. When I put on my Bóse headset, I can hear a big difference in the quality of the music. A much richer bass sound. And the pictures I take are much better. It was a great android upgrade for me.

Great Phone. Very pleased with this phone . Love there TV,s so I thought I would try there phone . My phone screen got damaged the insurance was going to charge me 249.00 to replace it with a refeb Note 8 . This TCL 10L has the same screen size and everything is new better faster and great quality.

Everything on this phone seems to work great. Pictures are super clear. Enjoying it very much.
