Reviews for the TCL 40 SE

If you’re considering buying a phone under £200/€200, you’ll understand that you’ll have to make some sacrifices. But if you’re happy with good performance, a modest screen and an OK main camera, the TCL 40 SE is a model to consider. The design TCL has opted for is as expected for a handset in this price range. The screen, on the other hand, could have done with a slightly better resolution (there are competitors that offer it), but the phone makes up for it with all-day battery life. Are there better phones on the market? Yes. Are there better low-end phones? Yes, but that doesn’t detract from the TCL 40 SE. It’s just one of many options.

There are no truly great phones this cheap, unless you consider feature phones a contender for that title. The TCL 40 SE doesn’t challenge that statement. But it may not be a bad buy if the budget is tight. It has stereo speakers, a big screen and loads of storage for a mobile this cheap. The chipset is pretty dreadful, but does not induce too many headaches unless you try to try to actually use the TCL 40 SE while the phone downloads or updates apps in the background. The biggest compliment I can give the TCL 40 SE is I’m not desperate to get rid of it and switch to something else. I have felt that way about significantly more expensive Androids.

TCL 40 SE Smartphone Review
Source: OI Spice Tech News English EN→zh-CN
The TCL 40 SE phone is undoubtedly a great choice if you are looking for a decent entry-level phone with some necessary features to tweak with the software and to enjoy the usual social media consumption. These things are possible with this phone, and you won’t be disappointed if you set the bar low from the start. The phone got presentable camera quality with good display support. Furthermore, playing causal games won’t be a huge hassle for the phone, while battery life is overall remarkable. But still, the company cut corners to make this phone more cost-efficient for many users. Even after this, it’s worth recommending a deal if you don’t have any problem with slow performance. If you are looking for a decent alternative, you should consider Oppo A56s in the meanwhile.

只有较少的手机有很大的屏幕。

大尺寸可以让屏幕有更高的分辨率。因而例如字体等的细节将会更丰富。不过另一方面,小屏幕的功耗会较低,而设备也会更轻盈小巧,售价更低。
