Key specs
Critic consensus
“Anyone looking for a large phone with good battery life, solid specs, and an aesthetic that screams 'professional' will be fairly happy with the 10 5G, which seems destined to be more popular in the boardroom than anywhere else.”
“The TCL 10 5G has a lot going for it: the specification, build quality, performance and battery life are all impressive given the £399 (inc. VAT) price. It is shown up in some areas by its (4G) 10 Pro stablemate, most notably by having an IPS LCD screen rather than AMOLED, and by having an awkwardly protruding rear camera panel. Still, it's a good-value 5G phone.”
“A smart, low-cost phone - but it's clear that 5G is the main thing, with compromises made to get the price point so low.”
“Don’t be fooled into thinking that the TCL 10 5G is TCL’s top-pick from its affordable range. In many aspects, the phone pales in comparison to the high bar set by the TCL 10 Pro, but that doesn’t mean you should write it off completely. Getting a fast, 5G-compatible phone with a large screen for under £400 is no mean-feat, and the TCL 10 5G is sure to please anyone wanting to jump on the 5G bandwagon early, without said jump costing a small fortune.”
