Despite being rich in megapixels, Samsung doesn’t use it in its top-end phones.However, image quality is decent with some caveats. TCL is promising security updates every two months for two years.No water resistance.

Only two of them feel essential, though, as with many quad-camera phones at this level.There are standard and ultra-wide views, but no zoom.

That’s a no-no.Handsets from Samsung, for example, offer smarter screen calibration that ensures your photos appear true-to-reality no matter the colour mode used.Screen-wise, this is the only part of the TCL 10 Pro’s setup that I’ve found disappointing.The phones maximum brightness of 600 nits is nowhere near the,It’s a cracker of a screen at the price, and better than that of the.The TCL 10 Pro runs Android 10 with a software layer on top called, imaginatively, TCL UI.Initial reactions can be summed up as, “Oh my, this is trash.” However, I quickly learned that in only a few taps of the screen I was able to undo the weird default setup of this interface.First to be changed was the app menu layout. Swipe up or down one edge of the phone, and a little side overlay will pop out, granting speedy access to your favorite apps.Samsung took a similar approach in the early days of its own curved-screen experiments. It’s a decent buy as long as you moderate your expectations of the camera and battery life.While the name maybe unfamiliar to the majority, you’ll certainly have come across some of the products TCL makes.As well as being responsible for production of BlackBerry phones of the past few years, TCL also makes Alcatel phones under license. It took only two minutes of tweaking to knock the interface into a shape I actually like.General performance, too, is excellent.

It comes with a Snapdragon 865, plus a far more powerful processor than either the TCL 10 Pro’s or Xiaomi Mi Note 10’s.The TCL 10 Pro’s snappiness is more likely down to low added software overheads and the use of fast RAM and internal storage.

The 10L has a 48-megapixel main camera, an 8-megapixel ultrawide, a 2-megapixel macro, and a 2-megapixel depth camera (plus a 16-megapixel selfie cam). Now I’d consider it one of the very best finger scanners I’ve seen in a mid-range phone. Plus, there's plenty more color. In our own day to day usage, we observed that half an hour of charging with the battery at 27% yielded a 37% gain.It’s far from the fastest charging on the market but it’s competitive.

The TCL 10 Pro’s should be at least a little better considering its 4500mAh capacity.The phone does come with an 18W fast charger. The display is a waterfall display, giving you zero bezels on the sides.

The Snapdragon 675 and high capacity 4,500 mAh battery have helped me regularly experience more than five hours of screen-on time on a daily basis.Given that it has a high capacity battery and Quick Charge 3.0 support, your phone will last for a long time and also charge up quickly when you use it for days.

I find the 5260mAh of a model such as the Xiaomi Note 10 more reassuring, but that phone is significantly thicker.This phone’s stamina is passable, but little more.

Solid battery life.
