It is clear that TCL intends strongly to enter the smart phone market, as it recently announced three new phones, including the TCL 20L. The specifications that we will present to you with an explanation of the price of the phone and its most important advantages and disadvantages.

TCL 20L Specifications:

  • The dimensions of the phone are 166.2 x 76.9 x 9.1 mm and it weighs 199 grams.
  • 6.67-inch IPS LCD screen with a resolution of 1080 x 2400 pixels with a pixel density of 395 pixels per square inch.
  • Qualcomm Snapdragon 662 processor with Adreno 610 graphics and video processor, the same processor used by Oppo in a phone Oppo F19.
  • 128 GB internal storage with 4 GB or 6 GB RAM.
  • A Micro SD external storage card can be installed in place of the second SIM card.
  • The company's TCL UI operating interface built on Android 11.
  • 48MP + 8MP + 2MP + 2MP quad rear camera with single LED flash.
  • 16MP front camera with HDR technology.
  • 5000 mAh battery with 18W charging speed.
  • USB Type-C 2.0 charging port with OTG technology support.
  • There is a 3.5 mm headphone jack.
  • The phone supports Bluetooth 5.0 and Wi-Fi 802.11 in addition to GPS/A-GPS, GLONASS, GALILEO, BDS and NFC technology.
  • The power switch doubles as a fingerprint reader sensor and the phone also has sensors for proximity, accelerometer, gyroscope, compass and ambient light.
  • The phone is available in the colors Eclipse Black, Luna Blue:

Design and screen:

TCL phones usually have good manufacturing quality and high-quality manufacturing materials. Although the TCL 20L is made of plastic for both the back and the frame, it has a high degree of durability, and a glass protection layer was placed on the screen, but the company did not announce the version used.

TCL used a full screen with very small edges, as the screen occupies 91% of the total front-end area, which gives more comfort in use and control with a decent modern look

It is worth noting that the screen offers an average brightness of 500nits, which is a very suitable number for an average phone.

the performance:

The performance part was clearly neglected in the phone, as it was paired with a processing chip that is not in line with its price or category, as it is found in economic phones at about half the price of the phone, such as the Poco M3.

TCL 20L enables you to get acceptable performance in daily tasks and browsing, but you will not get satisfactory performance in heavy tasks or in high-graphics games such as Pupg and COD. It is worth noting that this processing chip was manufactured with an accuracy of 11 nanometers and contains eight cores with a frequency of up to 2.0 gigahertz.

Camera:

The phone packs a quad-lens rear camera, the first camera is available with 48 Megapixels with an f / 2.0 lens slot that supports PDAF autofocus and is used for basic photography, the second camera is located with an accuracy of 8 Megapixels and an f / 2.2 lens slot and is used for ultrawide photography at an angle of up to 118 degrees .

أما عن الكاميرا الثالثة فنجد أنها بدقة 2 ميجابكسل f/2.4 وتستخدم للتصوير الدقيق أو الماكرو، أما عن الكاميرا الرابعة والأخيرة فهي بدقة 2 ميجابكسل أيضاً f/2.4 لكنها تستخدم لتحسين وضع عزل الخلفية أو كما يسمى “البورترية”.

 Unfortunately, support for the rear camera was limited to shooting 1080P videos at 30 or 60 frames per second, and it lacked 4K Ultra HD.

The front camera is set with a 16-Megapixel camera with an f/2.2 lens slot that supports HDR and can shoot FHD videos.

Battery:

The phone battery is large with a capacity of 5000 mAh of non-removable Li-Polymer type, the battery can last for a full day of hard work and does not need to be recharged more than once a day.

The shortcoming here was the charging speed of 18 watts. It is not considered the appropriate number for a phone whose price exceeds 4000 EGP. Its battery is of that size as well. We see Redmi Note 10 Pro with 33 watts and Galaxy A52 with 25 watts, and the phone may take about two hours, only a quarter of it, to reach from 0% to 100%.

Pros and cons of TCL 20L:

TCL 20L Mobile Features:-

  • Distinctive design with high-end manufacturing materials.
  • Screen offers high brightness rate.
  • Big battery capacity

Disadvantages of TCL 20L Mobile:-

  • The processor is not considered the most powerful among the competitors.
  • Double the charging speed.
  • The phone cannot shoot 4K Ultra HD videos.
  • It is not possible to install two SIM cards and an external storage card at the same time.

TCL 20L Price:

The price of the phone is 230 EUR, or about 275 USD, which is equivalent to 4300 EGP, and it is expected that the phone will be launched in the Egyptian market during the coming period.

TCL 20L Review (Review Plus):

The TCL 20L would have been one of the best mid-range options if it was supported by a more powerful processor such as Snapdragon 732G, Snapdragon 730 or even Helio G95 processor from MediaTek, with a higher charging speed even if 25W.

Unfortunately, TCL sacrificed all of that and did not support its phone with a clear point of distinction that makes it superior to any of its competitors, so the TCL 20L will not be your appropriate choice in that price category, but if the price of the mobile is reduced a little, things may differ as it will come within the lower-than-average category.

You can also take a look at other phones with similar price tag on Review Plus, learn about Realme 8 price Which comes at an average price and good performance, or you can get acquainted with Poco M3 price provided by Xiaomi.

أنا استخدم هذا الهاتف منذ ٣شهور تقريبا لكن للأسف تبين انه لا يفي بالغرض ولم يكن بجوده جيده او عالية حيث انه اصبح هناك مشاكل على جهات الاتصال ونغمه تشغيل الجهاز واختفاء بعض التطبيقات التي جاءت مع الهاتف عند الشرفاء ومشكله بالسجن واختفاء الساعة عند لمس الأشهر لم تعد تظهر وعدها مشاكل أخرى حيث قمت بأرسالها الى مركز الصيانة المعتاد وان عمل سوفت وير الا ان بعض المشاكل مازالت موجوده
