The TCL 30 XE 5G is coming to T-Mobile and Metro by T-Mobile this Friday, February 25. This device is going to cost $198 at T-Mobile or $199 at Metro.
For less than $200 you are getting a decently specced device. It has a 6.52-inch HD+ (1600 x 720) display with a 90Hz refresh rate. The TCL 30 XE 5G is powered by a MediaTek Dimensity 700 processor and 4GB of RAM. It has 64GB of onboard storage but that is expandable up to 512GB via a MicroSD card.
You are getting a triple camera setup with a 13MP main camera, a 2MP depth lens, and a 2MP macro lens. It also has an 8MP front-facing camera. It has a 4500mAh battery but unfortunately runs Android 11. TCL even included an 18W charger in the box for fast charging. For security, you get face-unlock as well as a fingerprint sensor.
This is a well-rounded device for under $200. It is by no means going to be a speed burner, but it will be adequate as a daily driver if you keep your expectations tempered.
Why is it called a 5g id it only has 4g of mem? I have the 20se and 4g is too small to use today
Great question. Like 4G and LTE, 5G is in reference to cellular connectivity. The device has 4GB of RAM which is in reference to the amount of random access memory (RAM) that is available.
you can’t be serious
