Editorial report

TCL 30E 3 GB / 64 GB / Global technical sheet

The TCL 30E suits people looking for a simple Android phone for everyday tasks who prefer a large display over a highly detailed picture. Its main trade-offs are modest performance and a display whose resolution and brightness are below those of most phones launched around the same time.

The 6.52-inch IPS LCD has a resolution of 720 × 1600 px, 269 ppi and 450 nits of brightness. Both pixel density and brightness are lower than on most phones of its time. The MediaTek Helio G25 scores 102,000 in AnTuTu v9, among the weakest results of that period; its 3 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage are also lower than those of most phones launched around then. Storage is expandable.

The rear camera has a resolution of 50 MP, but its 1/2.76″ sensor is smaller than those in most phones of its time. The camera overall is worse than most. The 5000 mAh battery has a typical capacity, while 10 W charging is slower than on most phones; the battery overall is also worse than most. The TCL 30E includes Android 12, dual Nano-SIM, NFC and a 3.5 mm audio jack. Its overall NeoScore is 4.2, and it ranks below most phones launched around the same time. It is a basic option for people whose priorities are essential phone features.
