Editorial report

TCL 20 R 5G 4 GB / 128 GB / Global technical sheet

The TCL 20 R 5G suits buyers looking for a 5G phone with a large display and NFC, and who put connectivity ahead of a stronger camera or faster charging. This configuration pairs 4 GB of RAM with 64 GB of storage; the phone is also sold with 128 GB. Its connectivity is better than that of most phones of its time: it supports 5G, NFC, dual nano-SIM and several navigation systems, including GPS, Galileo and BeiDou.

The 13 MP camera is worse than most in resolution and sensor size; its f/2.2 aperture is among the weakest of its time, and there is no optical image stabilization. Its 10 W charging is also slower than that of most phones launched around the same time. The display’s 269 ppi and 500 nits are lower than on most phones of its time, although the IPS LCD panel measures 6.52 inches and has a 90 Hz refresh rate. Its 4 GB of RAM is also less than most phones of its time offer. Overall, the TCL 20 R 5G stands worse than most, with a NeoScore of 4.4. It is best suited to buyers who value 5G, NFC and a large display more than camera hardware, RAM or faster charging.
