Editorial report

TCL 305 technical sheet

The TCL 305 is suited to basic phone needs, especially for someone who values dual SIM or an FM radio. Its main trade-offs are memory, display, camera, and charging: overall, it ranks worse than most phones launched around the same time, with a NeoScore of 3.8.

Its 6.52-inch IPS LCD display has a resolution of 720 × 1600 px, 269 ppi density, and peak brightness of 450 nits. Both density and brightness are lower than those of most phones of its time. The phone has 2 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage, also below what most phones of its time offer. Storage is expandable. Processing comes from a quad-core MediaTek Helio A22.

Connectivity includes two Nano-SIM cards, Wi-Fi 802.11 g/n, Bluetooth 5.0, GPS, GLONASS, and Galileo. USB Type-C, a 3.5 mm audio jack, and FM radio are also included. The battery capacity is 5000 mAh, a typical figure, while 10 W charging is slower than that of most phones of its time. The 13 MP camera has a 1/3″ sensor, among the smallest of its time, and an f/2.2 aperture, among the weakest; it records video at 1080p at 30 fps. The macro camera is 2 MP and the front camera is 5 MP. This is a choice for essential functions, rather than for buyers prioritizing stronger memory, display, camera, or charging specifications.
