256GB | New | Midnight Blue
Most phones chase brighter, glossier displays. TCL went the other way with this one. The 6.78-inch panel uses NXTPAPER technology built with multiple layers designed to give a paper-like tactile experience with an anti-fingermark, matte finish. It's an odd pitch on paper, but if you've ever felt your eyes strain after a long stretch of scrolling, this is a phone built specifically to fix that, not just claim to.
The display runs at 450 nits brightness with a 1080 x 2460 resolution and 369ppi, at a 90Hz refresh rate, so it's not chasing flagship sharpness, it's chasing something else entirely. The LCD panel has a low blue light certification from TÜV Rheinland, and you can actually toggle between colour paper and ink paper modes depending on what you're doing, reading, browsing, or just using it normally. It won't fool you into thinking you're holding an e-reader, but the intent behind it is genuine, not just marketing dressing.
Powered by the MediaTek Helio G88 chipset, paired here with 8GB of RAM and 256GB of storage. This isn't a phone chasing gaming performance, it's built for messaging, browsing, streaming, the everyday stuff most people actually spend their time on. There's also a virtual RAM feature that converts unused storage into an extra 8GB of usable memory, useful if you tend to run several apps at once and want a bit more headroom.
Triple rear camera system, 50MP main, 5MP ultrawide, and a 2MP macro lens, paired with a 32MP front camera. Nothing here is chasing flagship-level photography, but for everyday shots, this handles itself reasonably well, and that front camera resolution is genuinely higher than most phones offer at this price.
5010mAh battery paired with 33W fast charging via USB-C. Comfortably gets through a normal day of use without much worry, and the fast charging means topping back up doesn't eat into your evening.
195 grams, genuinely light for a phone with a 6.78-inch screen. There's a headphone jack too, something increasingly rare across the market, alongside a side-mounted fingerprint reader for quick unlocking.
Every phone gets tested before it's listed, battery health, screen, cameras, buttons, charging port, network, then wiped and reset properly. Storage and cosmetic condition vary by stock, shown clearly on the page so there's no guessing at checkout.
Fast tracked UK delivery, warranty included as standard. Something not right on arrival? That's on us to sort, not you.
