Editorial report

TCL 403 2 GB / 32 GB / Global technical sheet

The TCL 403 suits anyone looking for a basic Android phone for calls, messaging, and simple tasks. At 182 g, it weighs less than most phones of its time, a clear advantage for buyers who prefer a lighter device. Its overall NeoScore is 2.8 out of 10, placing it among the weakest phones of its time overall.

The 6-inch TFT LCD display has a density of 179 ppi, among the lowest of its time; its 480 × 960 px resolution is modest. Hardware pairs 2 GB of RAM with 32 GB of storage, both among the lowest figures of the period. Storage is expandable. Android 12 is the operating system on this phone.

The rear camera has 8 MP and a 1/4″ sensor, among the smallest of its time. It records video at 1080p and 30 fps and includes HDR, panorama, and an LED flash. The front camera is 5 MP. Its 3,000 mAh battery is among the lowest-capacity batteries of its time. Connectivity includes a Dual Nano-SIM option, Bluetooth 5.0, microUSB, and a 3.5 mm audio jack. This is an entry-level phone for essential needs, rather than for buyers who prioritize camera hardware, memory, or battery capacity.
