Editorial report

TCL 505 4 GB / 64 GB / Latin America technical sheet

The TCL 505 suits buyers looking for a straightforward phone for everyday tasks, with practical extras such as NFC, stereo speakers and expandable storage. Its 6.75″ display has a 90 Hz refresh rate, but its 260 ppi density is among the weakest of phones launched around the same time. That matters to anyone who puts image definition high on the list.

Its 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage are below what most phones of its time offer. Storage is expandable, and the software is Android 14. The camera resolution is 50 MP, typical for phones launched around the same time, while its 1/2.55″ sensor is smaller than those in most of them. The 5010 mAh battery has a typical capacity; charging at 10 W, however, is among the weakest of its time.

Other features include NFC, FM radio, a 3.5 mm audio jack, USB Type-C and stereo speakers. It also supports two Nano-SIM cards, dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.1 and GPS, GLONASS, Galileo and BeiDou navigation. Overall, it stands worse than most phones launched around the same time, while its display and camera are typical. With a NeoScore of 4.7, the TCL 505 is a better fit for buyers who value basic features and useful connections over a sharper display, more memory or faster charging.
