Camera is horrible, which is a shame, as the rest is quite nice for the price. Good call quality.
Nicer build quality than entry level Motorola but this TCL has one of the worst camera’s ever seen. No resolution at all - just try shooting anything with detail like leaves, gravel or bricks - it’s just a mush even on 1x enlargement. The colours are off too in photos, and the display (but display can be corrected in settings). They add fake sharpening (low grade super resolution/AI edge enhancement) which just looks fake and can’t hide the mushy details.
Tried OpenCamera to see if it was just the TCL processing but it’s as bad.
Avoid this phone if you care about photos. They only look ‘okay’ if you only view them on a small phone display and never enlarge/zoom in on them.
Even Moto G6 from years ago had more resolution in fine details.
Returned the phone.

Bought it like 2 weeks ago
The price is actually very nice, at least in Argentine pesos.
For a normal user as I am, it fulfills all my necessities
The system is fluid and fast, the personalized UI doesn't take any feature away.
The screen looks good and is big
It has NFC, I use the dual SIM For work
The cameras actually take nice photos
As I said, normal use, nothing so geekie or crazy, recommended if you don't have that much money

The phone is very descent specification.For regular use it is recommendable. For more memory buy 256gb model.

I don't care about screen too body ratio crap
Big bezel are just fine just more hand room
The reason I hate notch so much is it's part of the screen when you're watching a video that is blocked by the stupid notch or some games have get part screen again being blocked by that God damn stupid notch

I dislike the notched screen
a screen free of any notch or hole punch is best
spec wise
that's a beast of a nearly flagship tier camera at this price point coming is crazy too see
( but its becoming normal more ram would have been more useful )
256GB 6GB RAM great storage wish it had little more ram
mediatek hello g37 just fine
screen res fine
battery size good
Android 13, TCL UI 5.0
android being very ram hungry going have problems
if this phone is really cheap i think it will be good
but only if the price is really low

130 could be price of this at most to be honest and a 256GB version 160.
This is way too much.
