Excellent Quality
I am very pleased with the quality and function of the beautiful Dreamy Blue Cellphone, it looks like a sunset. I have called TCL customer service four times just to ask some basic questions and I must say that I am extremely impressed with the professional, courtesy and knowledge from everyone I have spoken to. I highly recommend this cellphone. I must say that it is better than any other cellphone at twice as much. This is why I purchased.

Love at first sight!
Love. Love. Love the screen on this phone. Phone very fast with applications. Works great over 5g TMobile. Only draw back with these phones is slow on any updates. Still on Android 12. Love the ability to add extra storage and head phone jack. For the money you cannot touch this phone. Go get one yourself. High recommended.

Really wanted to love
I was really excited when I got this phone. It’s the perfect size and feel in your hand, the display is amazing—but that’s all this phone has going for it. The speakers suck terribly, they aren’t half as good as the iPhone I had, you have to be right next to the phone to hear well enough for music or a video playing. The battery is the worst of any phone I have ever owned. I’ll get to work with a full battery, mind you I’m not on my phone much at work because I do not have time, and by the end of my 12 hour shift the phone is nearly dead. And on top of a quickly draining battery, the thing takes SEVERAL HOURS to fully charge. The connectivity is awful as well. I have Verizon and never had the issues I had when I got this phone; constantly dropping calls, apps not loading, no cell reception almost everywhere I am. The Bluetooth cuts in and out so much you can’t even enjoy listening to anything through it. $250 for a phone these days I guess gives you this….a total piece of crap.

This TCL 30 5G is working better than other TCL’s
I’ll be using this TCL 30 5G as a backup to my TCL 20 Pro 5G which is just a tad smaller and lighter. Besides having initial battery issues, that 20 Pro 5G is working fine now. Beats me as to the initial problem that TCL tech support was non responsive after numerous emails and phone calls. I took a chance and got the TCL 30 5G. Hopefully I won’t have to call TCL Customer Service due to their terrible service.

I had never owned a TCL phone, but I chose a TCL 30 5G phone because I trust the brand. So far, I’m pleased with the phone. The screen is huge. A front camera and a back camera are good and what a great price! Another good android phone that doesn’t cost an arm and a leg.

This phone is unusable!
The phone locks itself up every 5 seconds of inactivity. I changed the settings for the lock screen and I shut the auto lock screen feature off but for some reason the phone INSISTS on locking itself up after 5 seconds or less of inactivity. Which makes it totally useless to me cause I can’t do anything on it without it locking up and my having to put in my pin again and trying to do what I’m trying to do on the phone without any pauses cause otherwise I have to keep unlocking the phone and it’s a real time waster and very frustrater.They need to fix that. I do not want the lock screen locking up my phone every 5 seconds I’m trying to use it!What the hell is that?

Warranty is a joke!
I bought this device April 27th and a few days ago it started to have issues charging. (August 2023) I have always the block and cable that came with it. So I tried a brand new cable to see if it was just the charger and the brand new charger has the same issue. I have to hold the phone just right pushing up on the charger in the port I order for it to connect and charge. I took the phone in to a repair shop they checked for damage or dust and debris and found nothing they quoted me 110$ to replace the defective port. I figured I was still in warranty with TCL so I called them to see what I need to do since I have only had it 4months and there is no damage to the device. I was then told to pay 20$ to ship the phone to one of their repair places and that once received it would take a minimum of 7-10 business days to see about possibly repairing my port and then I pay for them to ship it back to me over all it could take 4 weeks or more. I explained that I can’t just send my phone away for 4weeks or more and all she said was well that’s how it works. Any other warranty copy I have worked with has either sent a warranty phone and you ship yours back then if it’s physical damage your charges the cost of the device or they send you a temp phone and return label for you to send in your phone to be repaired. I’m so disappointed in this company I have bought many other tcl computer parts and TV’s but never again I’m so frustrated with them and their so called warranty.

Perfect Self Gift
I bought this phone 2 weeks ago. It came on time. Fully unlocked. Easy to use. Beautiful. Long lasting battery life. Very modernized apps & features. It also came with a case & screen protector. I recommend this latest device over any Iphone.

Nice hardware: wanted to love it – but terrible camera
I previously tried the 10L and had a great first impression of the TCL phones overall performance. I bought this one because it also had 5G capabilities. The phone is beautifully made and looks great. However, the cameras were shockingly underwhelming. The colors were lacking, the resolution was horrible. Really surprised how TCL dropped the ball.

A unlocked GSM 5G T-Mobile phone
Great grab below $200 it’s 2023 here next 2024.. Great overall design. Display is awkwardly disproportion. Single speaker give dual speakers. Sound 3/5 not loud and not minimalist adjustable in single digits. 1st Low volume is Louder. Slow old and cheaper cpu and less ram makes this device not ideal for medium to heavy task use even with android 12 features in the box like multi window. Takes time to load. Great for T-Mobile carrier. Pro is 5000 battery. 1080p screen but awkward resolution. 5G and NFC.

Disappointed
I am a techy, I love electronics. I was hoping the TCL 30 5G would be a great replacement with a higher capacity battery then my current phone.I started seeing issues right away.It had more bloatware then expected and the phone lagged when starting any app.The problem I could not accept was when switching from voice to keyboard or vica versa on any app that uses keyboards, the screen would freeze. I had to use the Home button, force stop the app and try again.Customer Support suggested clearing data on the keyboard app, that would be OK for 1 attempt, then freeze again.TCL service said the only option left was to do a “Factory Reset”. Not something I’m willing to do.I was told my voice sounded “tinny” compared to both the phone the TCL replaced and the new phone that replaced the TCL.Phone Returned

Heavy bang for the buck….but…..
So I am giving this 5 stars. There is zero doubt this is a very quality smartphone. Cameras are solid, the battery is off the chart, comes with the full charger brick and even a phone case. The audio driver is awesome. 3.5mm headphone jack is awesome, but using my JBL earbuds, even better. Video records very well, will record in HDR, you can take HDR photos, the haptics are good, not great, and finally, the OS is easy to use.Why the but in the headline? So, if you are a phone snob or to be very frank someone that is constantly buried on your phone, sniffing through multiple apps at once, that much of a photo nerd that you can probably count the pixels per photos with your own eyes, THIS IS NOT THE PHONE FOR YOU. Pay the extra, go to the Samsung, Google, or Apple models. At times due to the 4gb of RAM, scrolling is not as smooth as you would hope for. Again, if you are a phone nerd, someone that buries themselves in their phone, this is not for you.With that, if you are looking for a solid smartphone, great click and share camera photos, good video quality, an AMAZING battery, good audio, buy this thing. Not to mention the last thing…..it is TCL. As in TV’s…..as in the display on this thing is solid! It does not disappoint.To be very clear…..I am moving over from an iPhone 12, and for the past 48 hours, burning it up, downloading, watching movies, YouTube, etc…..great battery to be honest.Who is this for? People who want a solid smartphone, great display, even better battery, easy camera, easy OS, and comes with a ton of stuff out of the box.Who is this NOT for? Phone nerds, people who want the top end camera, people who require solid sound out of the phone speakers rather than using earbuds, and those who use multiple apps at once.Overall…..5 stars, but would say 4.7 out of 5.Battery 5Display 4.8Call quality (I use Tello) 5Camera 4.3Video 4Accessories out of the box 5Fingerprint on the side 5***update from 7/23/2023***This is without a doubt my daily driver now.As to the scrolling lag, that is not just on this phone but one app for weather that I am not going to call out is laggy even on an iPhone 14 Pro Max….the scroll and loading rate on this for this price point is solid.Tested out a UMIDIGI 5G Max to see if I was missing something on the price point. Already sent it back. The geekbench on this vs the UMIDIGI 5G was 2:1 faster. I want to say dual core on this one was 1867 vs 1302 on the UMIDIGI. To put it in perspective, my old iPhone SE 2020 was only 2118 on geekbench so not missing a ton out.The ONLY thing I am noticing is that in low light the camera is, meh, but I can live with it.Again…..if you are a phone nerd or snob, you will probably not be the happiest with this phone. If you need a solid smartphone, that does the trick, solid camera, UNREAL battery, and great TCL screen, for 219 after a 30.00 Amazon coupon, you cannot go wrong. And again……I am moving over from an iPhone 12. So take that for what you will.

An Updated Review: This Phone Is A Beautiful Headache
This phone has a lot going for it. The CPU and RAM seem to keep up nicely with regular usage and the design feels nice, lightweight and premium. But things are definitely a bit…strange beneath the surface. I liked this device a lot once I first got it. It felt thin, and a lot different from the devices I was used to using. I had come from using a TCL 10 5G UW for over two years, and that phone was absolutely incredible. I never had a single issue with it the entire time I owned it, so I decided to give the 30 5G a shot. Below are some of the reasons while I simply can’t recommend this device.The AMOLED screen is bright and beautiful, though even it has a few gotchas that eventually ruined the panel for me. It has very nice colors and can get uncomfortably bright. Though it also seems to have some strange uniformity issues. When looking at the screen, whatever part is closest to your eyes appears to be a warmer color temperature, while the rest of the screen appears to be a much cooler color temperature. By moving the device up and down, you can change the position of this ‘band’ of orange tint. I know AMOLED displays have color shift, but they usually don’t have it while you’re looking straight on at the screen. Another issue is that at very low brightness levels, my particular screen has a very very difficult time displaying the color gray. The bottom half of the display seems to just give up, going to a straight black instead of gray while the top of the display is able to maintain the color. As someone who uses their phone in dark lighting almost all the time, this is definitely an issue I can’t deal with.It’s incredibly aggressive with closing apps, so nothing will stay open if you close out of it making it absolutely useless for multitasking. In 2023, I think a phone that’s $250 should be able to let itself have more than one app open at a time. The Samsung Galaxy A14 5G has the same processor and amount of RAM, but I can leave an app and go back into it without the entire app reopening itself. There is almost nothing more irritating than having to leave apps on the screen at all times if you want to use them. AccuBattery, Musicolet, and even Chrome will just close for no reason. This also prevents you from getting certain push notifications, as the phone will just kill the apps and keep them from notifying you of things.But what’s even worse is that my copy keeps disconnecting itself from my carrier without any warning. No notification, no nothing. It will just randomly display “EMERGENCY CALLS ONLY” and stop receiving or making any calls or texts until it’s rebooted. This is an extremely big issue, and it basically keeps the phone from functioning as a phone. I can only imagine that this is a defect with my particular device, but with everything else wrong with the phone…I also can’t guarantee such a thing. It does seem to work with Verizon, but it refuses to stay connected to service.This phone runs Android 12. Now, when I got my TCL 10 5G UW it ran Android 10, and it never got upgraded from Android 10. There’s no guarantee that this device will ever see Android 13, and with the track record TCL has I doubt it ever will. It’s also running a six month old security patch, which definitely doesn’t bode well for future usage. This isn’t some old used device you bought from a friend, this is a brand new phone being sold on Amazon. You’d expect at least a decent upgrade promise, but there’s seemingly nothing here.Oh, but things don’t end here. This is going to seem like a rather small thing, but it’s definitely not pleasant. The back camera area is huge, but it’s also almost entirely made of plastic. This plastic is constantly exposed, and it constantly acquires scratches. The little black oval beneath the flash is particularly nasty at getting scratched, the plastic being used for this specific piece clearly being made of nothing but the most bottom of the barrel soft piano black plastic that one could ever imagine. It literally scratches if you swipe your thumb over it.You can get more for less! This is a $250 phone, and even with the discounts and coupons it often has placed on it, there’s better options out there even unlocked. Take the Galaxy A14 5G I mentioned earlier for example. It costs $199.99, which is $50 less than this phone. With that phone, you’re actually getting guaranteed security and software updates. It runs Android 13 out of the box, and is guaranteed to get updated to Android 15. It also is able to keep apps open in the background without viciously beating them into submission.Now, I don’t want this to seemingly come across as being anti TCL. I own nothing but TCL TVs, and the best phone I have ever owned, the TCL 10 5G UW was made by the same company, but this phone is a huge miss for $250 especially with the competition that exists in 2023. I would recommend pretty much anything besides this phone. You don’t have to get a Galaxy A14 5G, but just keep looking elsewhere. The unlocked phone world is vast and wide, and there’s far better options out there for the money than this.

Great $300 phone with a crippling weakness
This is a bang-for-buck phone that hits almost all the high notes, but it has one particular glaring weakness that completely obliterates its ability to perform its job.I don’t know what the memory manager on this thing is doing, but you can only have about 1.5 apps in memory at a time. Just switching from a *password manager* to the app it’s intended to unlock will force that app to reload from scratch; hope you weren’t on a specific page! More often than not, writing a long post on Facebook or Reddit I would switch to another window to copy-paste a URL or other information, only to switch back and find the other app de-loaded and refreshed from scratch, losing me my post in the process.If you are going to buy this and only use ONE APP at a time, then this is probably the phone for you. But if you are someone who ever uses the square button, stay away.

Not as described
The battery was at 4% when I got it, the battery life was 78%, the touch screen wasn’t very responsive, the charging cable that was included did not work and the overall appearance of the device was very used and absolutely not worth the cost.

Great phone except no wifi calling on Tello
It is a wonderful phone, with all the features and light weighted.But I cannot use wifi calling on Tello network. From Q&A and product description, I understand the phone supports wifi calling. I can use Tello’s app to make call over wifi. But I cannot make a call though in wifi. There are no wifi calling configurations on the phone.

Overall great for the price
Great phone that works as advertised. Clear case and wall charger with cable (USB b to c) included. Battery life is excellent so far, and I enjoy the fingerprint on the power button. It was easy to swap my old SIM (Galaxy S8 on Verizon) to this and have it work almost immediately. After one reboot everything came online. All apps transferred quickly with direct phone-to-phone cable connection – just make sure they’re charged!Lack of screen protection accessories is a drawback but hopefully some will be released soon. (None of the other TCLs quite match the screen size). Very thankful for the case but just don’t want to scratch the face. Will occasionally slowdown on web browsing but I think that’s due more to ads on the pages than anything.

google assistant
this phone was almost “the one” all of the features were great, and it was a good size. however for whatever reason be it android ver 12 or the phone settings. to use google assistant you have to touch the phone to wake it up before you can get the assistant going. not hands free. android 11 , and 13 both have the assistant on a true hands free. so i’ll just say assistant one more time for good measure. xoxo

Bipolar TCL 5G Phone
I switched to TCL a few years ago. Was happy until I needed 5G service. I tried the Moto G 5G; awful awful phone. Was so relieved to see TCL had 5G phones. And it’s well under $300? How can you pass this up? The other newer TCL phones are missing some features this one has. Buying a case for this phone is hard, though.*****Update: after 2 months, the problems arose and continue. Calls drop, the phone freezes, shuts off by itself, etc. If you connect to your car Bluetooth, get a call, and finish that call you can’t go back to music without restarting the phone. The charging port started to erode 6 weeks into ownership. The camera shutter lags. Wi-Fi calls never really worked. The phone screen is starting to flash at random times when I get a notification. The phone is cased and well cared for. This model is not lasting nearly as long as my TCL 10 L which my kids now have and love.

Loved my TCL 10 Pro. So disappointed with this phone
It feels cheap and for the money, except that it has 5G, it is less of a phone than my 3 year old TCL 10 Pro. I didn’t realize it wasn’t a curve edge display, and that’s on me I guess, but then again, go to TCL’s website and look for “compare models”. It isn’t there. It’s almost like they want it to be confusing as to what phones have which features. (their lower model number phones are actually better than the higher model number) This phone has a plastic back. TCL 10 Pro was glass on plastic. This phone lacks an IR emitter, a feature I used all the time with my 10 Pro. It has a fingerprint reader, but only on the power button. No wireless charging. The TCL 20 5G is what I should have bought, but according to TCL’s website, it’s out of stock, and yet there it is for sale on Amazon in the TCL store. Again, the only thing it has going for it is 5G and what they say is a good camera. I put it in a Tudia case, and it looks and feels like a phone I had 8 years ago. I hate this phone. If I hadn’t shattered the back on my 10 Pro trying to replace the puffed battery, I’d still be using it.

It’s okay but it never connects to mobile data outside of WiFi. Very frustrating. Unable to fix it. Been trying to switch on and off data, WiFi calling, all if it. Sometimes it gives me a headache. Thank goodness the phone is for my 6 year old & not me.

This phone is awesome
This phone is bad to the bone. I’ve had flagship Samsung phones. And this one is almost just as good. And for the price you can’t beat it. It has a great picture and video quality. So if you want a great android phone get this one I promise you won’t regret it.

Don’t bother
I had high hopes for this phone, but its clunky and slow and does not get Android Security patches. Their support is awful. They respond once every 24 hours and ask the same questions. I give up.

DO NOT BUY
This phone is crap. Poor sound quality when it comes to phone calls. Media quality is okay. The screen never gets bright enough in the day but too bright at night and it’s all the way at 0. Continues to constantly shut its self down and restart. Please do not waist your money on this phone.

Loved my TCL 10 Pro. So disappointed with this phone
It feels cheap and for the money, except that it has 5G, it is less of a phone than my 3 year old TCL 10 Pro. I didn’t realize it wasn’t a curve edge display, and that’s on me I guess, but then again, go to TCL’s website and look for “compare models”. It isn’t there. It’s almost like they want it to be confusing as to what phones have which features. (their lower model number phones are actually better than the higher model number) This phone has a plastic back. TCL 10 Pro was glass on plastic. This phone lacks an IR emitter, a feature I used all the time with my 10 Pro. It has a fingerprint reader, but only on the power button. No wireless charging. The TCL 20 5G is what I should have bought, but according to TCL’s website, it’s out of stock, and yet there it is for sale on Amazon in the TCL store. Again, the only thing it has going for it is 5G and what they say is a good camera. I put it in a Tudia case, and it looks and feels like a phone I had 8 years ago. I hate this phone. If I hadn’t shattered the back on my 10 Pro trying to replace the puffed battery, I’d still be using it.

Warranty is a joke!
I bought this device April 27th and a few days ago it started to have issues charging. (August 2023) I have always the block and cable that came with it. So I tried a brand new cable to see if it was just the charger and the brand new charger has the same issue. I have to hold the phone just right pushing up on the charger in the port I order for it to connect and charge. I took the phone in to a repair shop they checked for damage or dust and debris and found nothing they quoted me 110$ to replace the defective port. I figured I was still in warranty with TCL so I called them to see what I need to do since I have only had it 4months and there is no damage to the device. I was then told to pay 20$ to ship the phone to one of their repair places and that once received it would take a minimum of 7-10 business days to see about possibly repairing my port and then I pay for them to ship it back to me over all it could take 4 weeks or more. I explained that I can’t just send my phone away for 4weeks or more and all she said was well that’s how it works. Any other warranty copy I have worked with has either sent a warranty phone and you ship yours back then if it’s physical damage your charges the cost of the device or they send you a temp phone and return label for you to send in your phone to be repaired. I’m so disappointed in this company I have bought many other tcl computer parts and TV’s but never again I’m so frustrated with them and their so called warranty.

Nice hardware: wanted to love it – but terrible camera
I previously tried the 10L and had a great first impression of the TCL phones overall performance. I bought this one because it also had 5G capabilities. The phone is beautifully made and looks great. However, the cameras were shockingly underwhelming. The colors were lacking, the resolution was horrible. Really surprised how TCL dropped the ball.

A unlocked GSM 5G T-Mobile phone
Great grab below $200 it’s 2023 here next 2024.. Great overall design. Display is awkwardly disproportion. Single speaker give dual speakers. Sound 3/5 not loud and not minimalist adjustable in single digits. 1st Low volume is Louder. Slow old and cheaper cpu and less ram makes this device not ideal for medium to heavy task use even with android 12 features in the box like multi window. Takes time to load. Great for T-Mobile carrier. Pro is 5000 battery. 1080p screen but awkward resolution. 5G and NFC.

Disappointed
I am a techy, I love electronics. I was hoping the TCL 30 5G would be a great replacement with a higher capacity battery then my current phone.I started seeing issues right away.It had more bloatware then expected and the phone lagged when starting any app.The problem I could not accept was when switching from voice to keyboard or vica versa on any app that uses keyboards, the screen would freeze. I had to use the Home button, force stop the app and try again.Customer Support suggested clearing data on the keyboard app, that would be OK for 1 attempt, then freeze again.TCL service said the only option left was to do a “Factory Reset”. Not something I’m willing to do.I was told my voice sounded “tinny” compared to both the phone the TCL replaced and the new phone that replaced the TCL.Phone Returned

Heavy bang for the buck….but…..
So I am giving this 5 stars. There is zero doubt this is a very quality smartphone. Cameras are solid, the battery is off the chart, comes with the full charger brick and even a phone case. The audio driver is awesome. 3.5mm headphone jack is awesome, but using my JBL earbuds, even better. Video records very well, will record in HDR, you can take HDR photos, the haptics are good, not great, and finally, the OS is easy to use.Why the but in the headline? So, if you are a phone snob or to be very frank someone that is constantly buried on your phone, sniffing through multiple apps at once, that much of a photo nerd that you can probably count the pixels per photos with your own eyes, THIS IS NOT THE PHONE FOR YOU. Pay the extra, go to the Samsung, Google, or Apple models. At times due to the 4gb of RAM, scrolling is not as smooth as you would hope for. Again, if you are a phone nerd, someone that buries themselves in their phone, this is not for you.With that, if you are looking for a solid smartphone, great click and share camera photos, good video quality, an AMAZING battery, good audio, buy this thing. Not to mention the last thing…..it is TCL. As in TV’s…..as in the display on this thing is solid! It does not disappoint.To be very clear…..I am moving over from an iPhone 12, and for the past 48 hours, burning it up, downloading, watching movies, YouTube, etc…..great battery to be honest.Who is this for? People who want a solid smartphone, great display, even better battery, easy camera, easy OS, and comes with a ton of stuff out of the box.Who is this NOT for? Phone nerds, people who want the top end camera, people who require solid sound out of the phone speakers rather than using earbuds, and those who use multiple apps at once.Overall…..5 stars, but would say 4.7 out of 5.Battery 5Display 4.8Call quality (I use Tello) 5Camera 4.3Video 4Accessories out of the box 5Fingerprint on the side 5***update from 7/23/2023***This is without a doubt my daily driver now.As to the scrolling lag, that is not just on this phone but one app for weather that I am not going to call out is laggy even on an iPhone 14 Pro Max….the scroll and loading rate on this for this price point is solid.Tested out a UMIDIGI 5G Max to see if I was missing something on the price point. Already sent it back. The geekbench on this vs the UMIDIGI 5G was 2:1 faster. I want to say dual core on this one was 1867 vs 1302 on the UMIDIGI. To put it in perspective, my old iPhone SE 2020 was only 2118 on geekbench so not missing a ton out.The ONLY thing I am noticing is that in low light the camera is, meh, but I can live with it.Again…..if you are a phone nerd or snob, you will probably not be the happiest with this phone. If you need a solid smartphone, that does the trick, solid camera, UNREAL battery, and great TCL screen, for 219 after a 30.00 Amazon coupon, you cannot go wrong. And again……I am moving over from an iPhone 12. So take that for what you will.

An Updated Review: This Phone Is A Beautiful Headache
This phone has a lot going for it. The CPU and RAM seem to keep up nicely with regular usage and the design feels nice, lightweight and premium. But things are definitely a bit…strange beneath the surface. I liked this device a lot once I first got it. It felt thin, and a lot different from the devices I was used to using. I had come from using a TCL 10 5G UW for over two years, and that phone was absolutely incredible. I never had a single issue with it the entire time I owned it, so I decided to give the 30 5G a shot. Below are some of the reasons while I simply can’t recommend this device.The AMOLED screen is bright and beautiful, though even it has a few gotchas that eventually ruined the panel for me. It has very nice colors and can get uncomfortably bright. Though it also seems to have some strange uniformity issues. When looking at the screen, whatever part is closest to your eyes appears to be a warmer color temperature, while the rest of the screen appears to be a much cooler color temperature. By moving the device up and down, you can change the position of this ‘band’ of orange tint. I know AMOLED displays have color shift, but they usually don’t have it while you’re looking straight on at the screen. Another issue is that at very low brightness levels, my particular screen has a very very difficult time displaying the color gray. The bottom half of the display seems to just give up, going to a straight black instead of gray while the top of the display is able to maintain the color. As someone who uses their phone in dark lighting almost all the time, this is definitely an issue I can’t deal with.It’s incredibly aggressive with closing apps, so nothing will stay open if you close out of it making it absolutely useless for multitasking. In 2023, I think a phone that’s $250 should be able to let itself have more than one app open at a time. The Samsung Galaxy A14 5G has the same processor and amount of RAM, but I can leave an app and go back into it without the entire app reopening itself. There is almost nothing more irritating than having to leave apps on the screen at all times if you want to use them. AccuBattery, Musicolet, and even Chrome will just close for no reason. This also prevents you from getting certain push notifications, as the phone will just kill the apps and keep them from notifying you of things.But what’s even worse is that my copy keeps disconnecting itself from my carrier without any warning. No notification, no nothing. It will just randomly display “EMERGENCY CALLS ONLY” and stop receiving or making any calls or texts until it’s rebooted. This is an extremely big issue, and it basically keeps the phone from functioning as a phone. I can only imagine that this is a defect with my particular device, but with everything else wrong with the phone…I also can’t guarantee such a thing. It does seem to work with Verizon, but it refuses to stay connected to service.This phone runs Android 12. Now, when I got my TCL 10 5G UW it ran Android 10, and it never got upgraded from Android 10. There’s no guarantee that this device will ever see Android 13, and with the track record TCL has I doubt it ever will. It’s also running a six month old security patch, which definitely doesn’t bode well for future usage. This isn’t some old used device you bought from a friend, this is a brand new phone being sold on Amazon. You’d expect at least a decent upgrade promise, but there’s seemingly nothing here.Oh, but things don’t end here. This is going to seem like a rather small thing, but it’s definitely not pleasant. The back camera area is huge, but it’s also almost entirely made of plastic. This plastic is constantly exposed, and it constantly acquires scratches. The little black oval beneath the flash is particularly nasty at getting scratched, the plastic being used for this specific piece clearly being made of nothing but the most bottom of the barrel soft piano black plastic that one could ever imagine. It literally scratches if you swipe your thumb over it.You can get more for less! This is a $250 phone, and even with the discounts and coupons it often has placed on it, there’s better options out there even unlocked. Take the Galaxy A14 5G I mentioned earlier for example. It costs $199.99, which is $50 less than this phone. With that phone, you’re actually getting guaranteed security and software updates. It runs Android 13 out of the box, and is guaranteed to get updated to Android 15. It also is able to keep apps open in the background without viciously beating them into submission.Now, I don’t want this to seemingly come across as being anti TCL. I own nothing but TCL TVs, and the best phone I have ever owned, the TCL 10 5G UW was made by the same company, but this phone is a huge miss for $250 especially with the competition that exists in 2023. I would recommend pretty much anything besides this phone. You don’t have to get a Galaxy A14 5G, but just keep looking elsewhere. The unlocked phone world is vast and wide, and there’s far better options out there for the money than this.

Great $300 phone with a crippling weakness
This is a bang-for-buck phone that hits almost all the high notes, but it has one particular glaring weakness that completely obliterates its ability to perform its job.I don’t know what the memory manager on this thing is doing, but you can only have about 1.5 apps in memory at a time. Just switching from a *password manager* to the app it’s intended to unlock will force that app to reload from scratch; hope you weren’t on a specific page! More often than not, writing a long post on Facebook or Reddit I would switch to another window to copy-paste a URL or other information, only to switch back and find the other app de-loaded and refreshed from scratch, losing me my post in the process.If you are going to buy this and only use ONE APP at a time, then this is probably the phone for you. But if you are someone who ever uses the square button, stay away.

Not as described
The battery was at 4% when I got it, the battery life was 78%, the touch screen wasn’t very responsive, the charging cable that was included did not work and the overall appearance of the device was very used and absolutely not worth the cost.

Great phone except no wifi calling on Tello
It is a wonderful phone, with all the features and light weighted.But I cannot use wifi calling on Tello network. From Q&A and product description, I understand the phone supports wifi calling. I can use Tello’s app to make call over wifi. But I cannot make a call though in wifi. There are no wifi calling configurations on the phone.

Overall great for the price
Great phone that works as advertised. Clear case and wall charger with cable (USB b to c) included. Battery life is excellent so far, and I enjoy the fingerprint on the power button. It was easy to swap my old SIM (Galaxy S8 on Verizon) to this and have it work almost immediately. After one reboot everything came online. All apps transferred quickly with direct phone-to-phone cable connection – just make sure they’re charged!Lack of screen protection accessories is a drawback but hopefully some will be released soon. (None of the other TCLs quite match the screen size). Very thankful for the case but just don’t want to scratch the face. Will occasionally slowdown on web browsing but I think that’s due more to ads on the pages than anything.

google assistant
this phone was almost “the one” all of the features were great, and it was a good size. however for whatever reason be it android ver 12 or the phone settings. to use google assistant you have to touch the phone to wake it up before you can get the assistant going. not hands free. android 11 , and 13 both have the assistant on a true hands free. so i’ll just say assistant one more time for good measure. xoxo

Bipolar TCL 5G Phone
I switched to TCL a few years ago. Was happy until I needed 5G service. I tried the Moto G 5G; awful awful phone. Was so relieved to see TCL had 5G phones. And it’s well under $300? How can you pass this up? The other newer TCL phones are missing some features this one has. Buying a case for this phone is hard, though.*****Update: after 2 months, the problems arose and continue. Calls drop, the phone freezes, shuts off by itself, etc. If you connect to your car Bluetooth, get a call, and finish that call you can’t go back to music without restarting the phone. The charging port started to erode 6 weeks into ownership. The camera shutter lags. Wi-Fi calls never really worked. The phone screen is starting to flash at random times when I get a notification. The phone is cased and well cared for. This model is not lasting nearly as long as my TCL 10 L which my kids now have and love.

I am very pleased with the quality and function of the beautiful Dreamy Blue Cellphone, it looks like a sunset. I have called TCL customer service four times just to ask some basic questions and I must say that I am extremely impressed with the professional, courtesy and knowledge from everyone I have spoken to. I highly recommend this cellphone. I must say that it is better than any other cellphone at twice as much. This is why I purchased.

Really wanted to love
I was really excited when I got this phone. It’s the perfect size and feel in your hand, the display is amazing—but that’s all this phone has going for it. The speakers suck terribly, they aren’t half as good as the iPhone I had, you have to be right next to the phone to hear well enough for music or a video playing. The battery is the worst of any phone I have ever owned. I’ll get to work with a full battery, mind you I’m not on my phone much at work because I do not have time, and by the end of my 12 hour shift the phone is nearly dead. And on top of a quickly draining battery, the thing takes SEVERAL HOURS to fully charge. The connectivity is awful as well. I have Verizon and never had the issues I had when I got this phone; constantly dropping calls, apps not loading, no cell reception almost everywhere I am. The Bluetooth cuts in and out so much you can’t even enjoy listening to anything through it. $250 for a phone these days I guess gives you this….a total piece of crap.

This TCL 30 5G is working better than other TCL’s
I’ll be using this TCL 30 5G as a backup to my TCL 20 Pro 5G which is just a tad smaller and lighter. Besides having initial battery issues, that 20 Pro 5G is working fine now. Beats me as to the initial problem that TCL tech support was non responsive after numerous emails and phone calls. I took a chance and got the TCL 30 5G. Hopefully I won’t have to call TCL Customer Service due to their terrible service.

This phone is unusable!
The phone locks itself up every 5 seconds of inactivity. I changed the settings for the lock screen and I shut the auto lock screen feature off but for some reason the phone INSISTS on locking itself up after 5 seconds or less of inactivity. Which makes it totally useless to me cause I can’t do anything on it without it locking up and my having to put in my pin again and trying to do what I’m trying to do on the phone without any pauses cause otherwise I have to keep unlocking the phone and it’s a real time waster and very frustrater.They need to fix that. I do not want the lock screen locking up my phone every 5 seconds I’m trying to use it!What the hell is that?
