New | 512GB | Stellar Blue
Most phone screens chase brightness and glare, no matter how it feels after an hour of scrolling. TCL took the opposite approach here. NXTPAPER 4.0 technology gives the display a genuinely matte, anti-glare finish, and there's a dedicated physical key on the side letting you switch between four display modes on the fly, Standard for everyday browsing, Color Paper for comics and art, Ink Paper for reading, and Max Ink for something closer to an e-reader. Hardware-level blue light is cut to a claimed 3.41%, and there's an Eye Care Assistant adjusting settings automatically depending on what you're doing.
MediaTek's chip runs the show here, paired with 8GB RAM and storage configurations stretching up to 512GB depending on the unit, genuinely generous for a phone at this price. It's not built for demanding gaming, but for everyday use, streaming, browsing, reading, messaging, it stays comfortably responsive.
Main sensor includes OIS, optical image stabilisation, which noticeably helps with handheld low-light shots and reduces blur from shaky hands more than most budget phones manage. TCL's own MuseFilm processing adds polish to everyday photos too, and there's a 32MP front camera for calls and selfies.
IP68 rated, meaning it handles full immersion up to a meter or more, not just splashes. Combined with a large 6.9-inch display and dual speakers tuned for DTS 3D Boom Sound, this is built to handle rain, spills, and general daily knocks without you needing to baby it.
5200mAh battery, and TCL rates it at 0% to 50% in around 38 minutes, a real difference if you're the type who tops up quickly between things rather than leaving it plugged in overnight. Wi-Fi 6E and full 5G support round out the connectivity side.
The plastic back and frame keep costs down but mean this doesn't feel quite as premium in hand as glass-backed rivals. If build material matters to you as much as the screen tech, that's worth factoring in.
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.
