Editorial report
TCL 201 technical sheet
The TCL 201 suits someone looking for a lightweight, simple phone for calls, FM radio and basic tasks. At 134 g, it weighs less than most phones of its time, while its screen and hardware set limits for anyone who needs more room or capacity.
Its 5-inch IPS LCD display keeps the format compact. However, its 215 ppi density, 60 Hz refresh rate and 71.4% screen-to-body ratio are among the weakest figures of its time. Memory is also limited compared with phones launched around the same time: 1 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage are among the lowest capacities. Storage is expandable.
The rear camera has a 5 MP resolution and a 1/5″ sensor, both among the weakest of its time. It records video at 720p and 30 fps. The 2,000 mAh battery capacity is also among the lowest for phones from its time. Connectivity includes 4G, Wi-Fi 4, Bluetooth 4.2, GPS and Galileo, along with a 3.5 mm audio jack and FM radio.
Its overall NeoScore is 1.7/10, among the weakest of phones launched around the same time. The TCL 201 is a better fit for someone who prioritizes low weight and basic functions than for anyone seeking a sharp display, generous memory or camera specifications that stand out.
