Editorial report
TCL 40 SE 4 GB / 128 GB / Global technical sheet
The TCL 40 SE suits buyers looking for a large-screen Android phone with a high-capacity battery. Its main trade-offs are performance, display sharpness and charging speed. This configuration has 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage. The phone is also sold with 6 GB of RAM and 256 GB of storage, spanning 4 GB / 128 GB to 6 GB / 256 GB.
Its 6.75-inch IPS LCD display runs at 90 Hz, but its 260 ppi is among the lowest densities of its time, and the refresh rate is lower than on most phones launched around the same time. The 5,010 mAh battery holds more capacity than most, while 18 W charging is slower than on most. The Helio G37 delivers weaker performance than most phones of its time. The 50 MP camera has a typical resolution, but its sensor is smaller than most; optical image stabilization is also absent.
NFC, a 3.5 mm audio jack, stereo speakers, dual SIM and Android 13 round out the feature set. Overall, battery capacity is the standout, while modest performance and a low-density display limit the phone’s appeal. Its overall NeoScore is 4.6: a fit for buyers who prioritize battery capacity and a large display over processing power and sharpness.
