TCL K70 Power vs TCL K70 SE
Comparison between TCL K70 Power and TCL K70 SE: camera, battery, fast charging, display, performance and colors, side by side. More phones from TCL.
NeoTeo's verdict
Which of the two is the better buy
The TCL K70 Power is the clear choice for better photos, more endurance per charge and a more capable phone. Its 50 MP main camera with optical stabilization, f/1.8 aperture and 120 fps slow motion leaves the TCL K70 SE's 5 MP camera far behind. The SE is more appealing only when low weight matters: 150 g versus 215 g.
The Power also leads on the display: 6.8 inches, 1000 nits, 120Hz and 256 ppi versus 6.56 inches, 400 nits, 90Hz and 202 ppi. For performance, 8GB of RAM, UFS 2.2 and the MediaTek Helio G100 beat the SE's 4GB, eMMC 5.1 and MediaTek Helio G50; it also supports up to 256GB instead of 64GB.
The Power's 6500 mAh battery and 33W charging are a decisive advantage over 3000 mAh and 10W. The SE keeps one specific benefit: reverse charging. The Power extends its lead with Bluetooth 6.0 versus 5.1 and IP64 versus IP54; the TCL K70 SE is the better buy only if it costs less.
