Editorial report

TCL 40R 4 GB / 64 GB / Global technical sheet

The TCL 40R suits buyers looking for a 5G phone with NFC and dual SIM who can accept trade-offs in the display, RAM, and charging. This configuration pairs 4 GB of RAM with 64 GB of storage; the phone is also sold with 128 GB. Its processor is the MediaTek Dimensity 700.

The 6.6-inch IPS LCD display has a 90 Hz refresh rate, lower than that of most phones launched around the same time. Its 267 ppi pixel density and 400-nit peak brightness are among the weakest of its time. Those figures make the display a poor fit for buyers who prioritize sharpness or high brightness. Overall hardware is also worse than most phones of its time, and its 4 GB of RAM is less than most offer.

The battery has a capacity of 5000 mAh and supports 15 W charging, lower power than most phones of its time. The 50 MP rear camera has a typical resolution for its time, but its 1/2.76-inch sensor is smaller than most. The camera overall is typical among phones launched around the same time.

Connectivity includes 5G, NFC, dual Nano-SIM, USB Type-C, Bluetooth 5.1, and a 3.5 mm audio jack. Overall, the TCL 40R is typical among phones launched around the same time and earns a NeoScore of 4.7. It is a fit for buyers who put 5G and NFC ahead of the stated display, RAM, and charging limitations.
