Editorial report
TCL 40 XE technical sheet
The TCL 40 XE suits buyers looking for a basic Android phone with a large display and expandable storage, but its display, memory, and camera specifications fall behind most phones of its time. The 6.56-inch IPS LCD runs at 90 Hz, while its 269 ppi is lower than that of most phones from the same period. Storage is 64 GB and expandable, but 4 GB of RAM and the built-in capacity are also below what most of those phones offer.
The 13 MP rear camera uses a 1/3-inch sensor, among the smallest of its time. It has no optical image stabilization, and the camera overall stands worse than most phones launched around the same time. The 18 W fast charging is also below most, although the battery capacity is 5,000 mAh. Connectivity includes dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.1, USB Type-C, a 3.5 mm audio jack, and support for two Nano-SIM cards; connectivity overall still stands worse than most phones of its time. Android 13 rounds out a basic setup for buyers who value a large display and expandable storage more than plentiful memory or advanced camera specifications. Taken together, the TCL 40 XE ranks worse than most phones launched around the same time and has a NeoScore of 4.3. It is best suited to straightforward everyday needs rather than buyers looking for stronger camera, display, or memory specifications.
