Editorial report
TCL 205 2 GB / 32 GB / Global technical sheet
The TCL 205 may suit someone looking for a simple, lightweight Android phone who does not need much memory or a particularly capable camera. At 170.3 g, it weighs less than most phones of its time, making low weight one of its clearest strengths.
Its IPS LCD display measures 6.22 inches and has a resolution of 720 × 1520 px. The 270 ppi density is lower than on most phones of its time, as is the 80.7% screen-to-body ratio. The phone has 2 GB of RAM and 32 GB of expandable storage; both capacities are among the lowest of its time.
The rear camera has 13 MP resolution, a 1/3.06-inch sensor among the smallest of its time, and an f/2.2 aperture among the weakest. Its 4000 mAh battery has less capacity than most phones of its time. Connectivity includes Dual Nano-SIM, LTE, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS, a 3.5 mm audio jack, and microUSB; it runs Android 11. Overall, the TCL 205 is among the weakest phones of its time, with a NeoScore of 3.2. It makes most sense for someone who wants a basic, lightweight phone with expandable storage and can work within its limits in memory, display, camera, and battery capacity.
