Editorial report

TCL 20 XE technical sheet

The TCL 20 XE suits anyone looking for a basic Android phone who puts everyday functions ahead of strong performance. Its main trade-offs are the hardware, display, and camera resolution: its overall NeoScore is 3.7, and it ranks worse than most phones launched around the same time.

The 6.52-inch IPS LCD display has a 720 × 1600 px resolution, 269 ppi density, and 450-nit peak brightness. Both its density and brightness are lower than those of most phones of its time. Android 11 and Google Services cover familiar Android basics.

The MediaTek Helio P22, 3 GB of RAM, and 32 GB of storage put performance among the weakest of its time. Its RAM is lower than that of most phones launched around the same time, while its storage capacity is among the lowest. Its AnTuTu score of 94,000 is also lower than most. The camera has 13 MP resolution, below that of most phones of its time; its f/1.8 aperture is typical. The 5,000 mAh battery and 18 W fast charging are typical figures. Connectivity overall is worse than on most phones launched around the same time. This is a straightforward option for buyers who value Android and Google Services more than a more competitive display, camera, or hardware.
