Editorial report

TCL 20E 4 GB / 64 GB / Americas technical sheet

The TCL 20E suits anyone looking for a basic Android phone with expandable storage. Its main trade-offs against phones launched around the same time are performance, camera and battery specifications. This version has 3 GB / 64 GB; the phone is also sold in 4 GB / 64 GB and 4 GB / 128 GB configurations, and supports memory cards.

The 6.52-inch IPS LCD display has a 720 × 1600 px resolution and 269 ppi pixel density, lower than that of most phones of its time. The 13 MP camera’s f/2.2 aperture is among the weakest of phones launched around then. It records 1080p video and includes autofocus. Its 4,000 mAh battery capacity and 10 W charging are both below those of most phones of its time, in capacity and charging power respectively.

The MediaTek Helio P22 and 3 GB of RAM accompany an AnTuTu score of 94,000 (v8); performance is worse than most phones launched around the same time. Android 11, Dual SIM, Bluetooth 5.0 and a 3.5 mm audio jack round out the features. Its overall NeoScore is 3.7, and it stands worse than most phones launched around the same time overall. It is a basic option for those prioritizing essential features and expandable storage, rather than camera, battery or performance.
