Editorial report

TCL 40 XL 4 GB / 128 GB / Global technical sheet

The TCL 40 XL may suit someone looking for a straightforward Android phone with a large display and familiar features, provided its low pixel density and 4 GB of RAM are acceptable trade-offs. Its IPS LCD display measures 6.75 inches and reaches 900 nits peak brightness. At 260 ppi, its pixel density is among the weakest of phones launched around the same time; its 90 Hz refresh rate is also lower than most.

The 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage are less than most phones of its time offer. Its AnTuTu v10 result of 160,000 is also worse than most. The camera has a typical 50 MP resolution and records video at 1080p and 30 fps. A 5000 mAh battery has a typical capacity, while 18 W charging is slower than most phones launched around the same time.

Connectivity is typical, with dual-SIM options, eSIM, Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.1 and a 3.5 mm audio jack. The phone also has stereo speakers and runs Android 13. With a NeoScore of 4.6, the TCL 40 XL is an option for people who prioritize a large screen and standard features, and can live with limits in memory, display density and charging speed.
