    Apparently this phone has a better camera then a Samsung S7/ S8 according to one ozbarginer, Anyone else have experience with this phones camera not on Dxomark currently wondering if it's worth the upgrade from an S7.

    Edit: According to Kimovil Rear camera is the Exact same as Xiaomi Mi 9T, just not sure which one is better optimized, not sure about other camera's

    Seriously considering this as an upgrade from Samsung S7.

    HOLLY MOLLY!
    The specs on this phone is nearly as good as my P30 pro, except I paid $1k for that. :O

    TCL is killing it. Also bought a TCL TV in a recent OzB deal and the quality/features/specs is top notch.

      Don't feel too bad, the a20 is fantastic for price, and for 70 bucks cheaper, you don't have to risk having a software from a brand new company, and never find out about it cause your dad couldn't tell if it's functioning normally or not.

        Not exactly a new company. They have obviously been around in other areas such as TV's for a while and they also own Alcatel and blackberry. It is really just a new line of phones.

    Tempted to buy for backup phone. Currently my iPhone 7plus is still working well although phone settings message says battery needs to be serviced. I don't find anything wrong but just in case it suddenly fails it good to have a good backup. Will this phone be much of an upgrade?

    Hoping HN will price match as I still have a bunch of gift cards with them.

    • behindmyego on 13/02/2020 - 08:56

    This or Moto G8 Plus?

    I've currently got a 16GB Moto G5 Plus - while it is a great phone it is time to upgrade not sure if it's worth the extra $200 for the G8 plus looking at the specs of TCL.

    I've spent ages searching for a case for this phone on ebay AU, ebay US, AliExpress (I don't like the hard case it comes with) & the internet in general … and I can't find any cases, anywhere. Not even a simple soft tpu case or a plain wallet case (I did find one that required the phone to be stuck down with tape). Has anyone else had any luck tracking down accessories / cases for this phone?

    • MasterScythe on 13/02/2020 - 14:59

      I plan to just 3D print one, then cut my own holes for camera and such. TPU is easy to work with.

    Oh my GOD this is amazing.
    I've always used TCL phones.
    A few Alcatel's, followed by a Blackberry KeyOne then a KeyTwoLE; their brands have always been absolutely AMAZING.
    Reliable like no tomorrow.

    I played with this phone IRL on launch day for about an hour and a half (I know, I know….), I was blown away!

    They kept the quick launch\convenience key\bixbi? button that you can assign 3 actions to.
    I was REALLY worried about this on my next phone, because I use my flashlight every day, for at least 3 hours total.
    I needed to be able to turn the flashlight on and off without unlocking the phone.
    The spacebar on my E63 & E71 did this, i used Torchie with the alcatels and then I used the convenience key on the blackberries.

    There are a LOT of camera samples on youtube, they're all GREAT, and the stabilization is VERY good; I think you're limited to 1080p 30fps for EIS, but it's still good.

    And the ability to connect to 4 bluetooth speakers simultaneously had me managing to rickroll the JB I was in, from 4 different locations simultaneously.

    This is proper exciting for me.

    The ONLY downside is the Mono speaker being a bit tinny.
    It DID get louder than my blackberry, but not by much, and it missed the depth of the upper mids that the BB manages so well.

    I'mma go buy one!

      Why do you say that?
      TCL has at least an average update history on their brands.

      They certainly lag behind on major updates, but at least security patches stay around.

      Besides, there's nothing newer than Android 10 right now, regardless.

    If you can still get this phone, I'd say jump on it.

    • Bigboomboom on 13/02/2020 - 21:23

      Seriously, Antutu is just a benchmark it doesn't exactly tell you the performance, especially when you take the total score. Mi 9 Lite has older CPU but better GPU, that already tells you that the SD 710 will outperform SD 675 in the TCL Plex in terms of gaming. For instance, the SD 835 which only does around 180k Antutu total score still has much faster GPU than even SD 730 or G90T which boasts 220k+ Antutu score. The GPU in SD 835 is around 50% faster than either 730 or G90T which are both 25% faster than SD 710/712 which again faster than SD 675.

      Sometimes when tracking is added recently it may not show up in the system, give it a few hours or a day and if it doesn't appear then maybe contact JB or Toll.
