Editorial report
TCL 503 technical sheet
The TCL 503 is suited to anyone looking for a simple Android phone who values a relatively low weight. At 185.5 g, it weighs less than most phones of its time, its clearest comparative strength. Its 64 GB of storage is expandable, giving buyers the option to add more space.
The 6.6-inch IPS LCD display has a resolution of 720 × 1612 px, a density of 267 ppi and peak brightness of 350 nits. Both density and brightness are among the weakest figures of their time, and the display ranks among the weakest. Performance is also among the weakest: the Unisoc SC9863A comes with 3 GB RAM and 64 GB storage, capacities among the lowest of phones launched around the same time. The operating system is Android 14.
The rear camera has 8 MP resolution and a 1/4″ sensor, both among the weakest figures of their time; the front camera is 5 MP. The 5000 mAh battery has less capacity than most phones of its time, while 10 W charging is among the weakest. Connectivity also ranks among the weakest, although the phone includes USB Type-C, Bluetooth 4.2 and a 3.5 mm audio jack. Its overall NeoScore is 3.3: the TCL 503 may suit buyers who prioritize low weight and expandable storage, but its overall standing is among the weakest of its time.
