Editorial report

TCL Classic technical sheet

The TCL Classic may suit anyone seeking a small, light phone for basic tasks and willing to choose that format over a larger display or generous memory. It measures 55.6 × 107.3 mm and weighs 139.8 g. The trade-off is substantial: its 1850 mAh battery charges at 5 W, while the 2.8-inch display has 143 ppi and covers 40.7% of the front. Its battery capacity and charging, along with display density and screen-to-body ratio, are among the weakest figures of their time.

The MediaTek MT6739 is paired with 512 MB RAM and up to 4 GB storage, which is expandable. Those hardware figures are also among the weakest of their time. The rear camera has 2 MP resolution and records video at 480p at 30 fps; its resolution is among the weakest, too. Connections include LTE, Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n, Bluetooth 4.2, and GPS. The phone also has USB Type-C and a 3.5 mm audio jack.

The TCL Classic has no NeoScore because its specifications do not cover enough categories to calculate one. It is an option for someone who prioritizes a compact, light phone and can do without a sharper display, more memory, a higher-resolution camera, and stronger battery figures.
