Editorial report
TCL A30 technical sheet
The TCL A30 suits anyone looking for a straightforward phone for calls, basic browsing, and everyday apps. At 171 g, it weighs less than most phones of its time, although the screen occupies a relatively small share of the front. Its 5.5-inch TFT LCD display has 293 ppi, a typical density; its screen-to-body ratio, however, is worse than that of most phones launched around the same time.
The 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage are low figures compared with most phones of its time. Storage is expandable, giving more room for files. The 8 MP camera uses a 1/4″ sensor: both its resolution and sensor size are among the weakest of their time. The 3000 mAh battery capacity is also among the lowest. There is no ultrawide camera, and video recording goes up to 1080p at 30 fps.
The phone includes Android 11, GPS, Bluetooth 5.0, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, a 3.5 mm audio jack, and microUSB. It supports a single Nano-SIM. The TCL A30 has an overall NeoScore of 2.4. It is a basic option for people who value a light, uncomplicated phone and can accept modest memory, camera, and battery specifications.
