Editorial report

TCL 408 technical sheet

The TCL 408 is for buyers seeking a large display and expandable storage who can accept low screen brightness and slow charging. Its 6.6-inch IPS LCD has a resolution of 720 × 1612 px. Pixel density of 267 ppi and peak brightness of 400 nits are lower than those of most phones of its time, making the display a notable limitation for buyers prioritizing detail and brightness.

The MediaTek Helio G25 comes with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of expandable storage. Overall performance is typical of phones launched around the same time. The rear main camera has a typical 50 MP resolution, but its 1/2.55″ sensor is smaller than those in most phones of its time, and there is no optical image stabilization.

The battery capacity is a typical 5000 mAh, while 10 W charging is slower than on most phones of its time. Connectivity includes NFC, Bluetooth 5.1 and a 3.5 mm audio jack; the phone also has stereo speakers and Android 12. The TCL 408 earns an overall NeoScore of 4.5. It is a basic phone with expandable storage and useful connections, but the display, camera sensor and charging are its main limitations.
