Editorial report
TCL Ion X technical sheet
The TCL Ion X suits anyone looking for a basic, lightweight smartphone; its main trade-off is modest display, memory, camera, and battery capacity. At 177.4 g, it is among the lightest phones of its time, a clear plus for buyers who prioritize low weight.
Its IPS LCD display measures 6 inches and has a density of 268 ppi, lower than that of most phones launched around the same time. The 3 GB of RAM and 32 GB of storage are among the lowest figures of that period, though storage is expandable. The processor is a MediaTek Helio G25, and the operating system is Android 11. The camera has a resolution of 13 MP, but its 1/3.06″ sensor is among the smallest of its time, and there is no optical image stabilization.
The 3,000 mAh battery is among the lowest-capacity batteries of its time, while 10 W charging is slower than what most phones of the period offer. Connectivity includes LTE, dual-band Wi-Fi, Bluetooth 5.1, GPS, and Galileo, plus a 3.5 mm audio jack. Overall, the Ion X is among the weakest phones of its time, with a NeoScore of 3.1. It is suited to basic needs and to buyers who value light weight most, rather than those seeking strong display, memory, camera, or battery specifications.
