Editorial report

TCL 20Y 4 GB / 64 GB / International technical sheet

The TCL 20Y suits anyone looking for a basic Android phone for everyday tasks, with NFC, dual SIM and expandable storage. Its main trade-off is the battery: 4,000 mAh capacity and 10 W charging are below what most phones launched around the same time offer.

The IPS LCD display measures 6.52 inches and has a resolution of 720 × 1600 px. Its overall showing is typical among phones of its time, but its 269 ppi density is lower than that of most. This configuration has 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage; the TCL 20Y is also sold with 128 GB. Storage can be expanded.

Performance is worse than most phones of its time: this version has 4 GB of RAM, and its AnTuTu v8 result is 94,000. The camera is typical for its time. Its 48 MP sensor records 1080p video and has autofocus, HDR and a night mode. Overall connectivity is worse than most, though the phone includes NFC, a 3.5 mm audio jack, dual Nano-SIM and GPS with several navigation systems. It runs Android 11.

With a NeoScore of 3.8, the TCL 20Y is for anyone who prioritizes basic features and accepts lower display density, modest hardware and a battery below what most phones of its time offer.
