TCL 30 XE 5G

“The TCL 30 XE 5G does just what a budget phone should do: for the most part, it gets out of your way. For a phone at this price, its performance is snappy, and that’s a major benefit if you’re looking to just live your life with as little frustration as possible from your mobile device. But if you want a little more from your phone, you have some other options to consider.”

“The TCL 30 XE 5G smartphone is worth more than its price if you can overlook its few shortcomings. If you are OK with a phone locked to T-Mobile, can look past low light photography, and don’t use Google Pay or wireless charging, this is not a bank-breaker phone and otherwise performed very well. I’m going to continue using the 30 XE 5G in hopes that it gets a security update soon. If it doesn’t get an update within 3 months I’ll report that in an update, and downgrade my recommendation.”

“TCL has produced a great value device for those frugal users looking for an all-around device who don’t want to spend a fortune.”
