Editorial report
TCL 406 technical sheet
The TCL 406 may suit someone looking for a straightforward phone with expandable storage, as long as they do not need much built-in memory. Its 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage are among the lowest figures of phones from its time, though the storage can be expanded. That limited memory is the main consideration when weighing this model.
The IPS LCD display measures 6.6 inches and has a resolution of 720 × 1612 px. Overall, the display is typical among phones launched around the same time, but its 267 ppi pixel density is lower than that of most. The 13 MP camera also trails most phones of its time, and its 1/3″ sensor is among the smallest. It records video at 1080p and 30 fps. The front camera has 5 MP resolution.
The 5000 mAh battery has typical capacity, while 10 W charging is slower than on most phones from its time. Connectivity is worse than most, although the phone includes NFC, USB Type-C, Bluetooth 5.1, dual-band Wi-Fi, and GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and BeiDou. It also has Android 13, stereo speakers and a 3.5 mm audio jack. Overall, the TCL 406 is a basic option for someone who values expandable storage and these connections, but its memory, camera and charging figures are significant compromises.
