    • Toxinor on 27/03/2022 - 12:30

      No 5g, less ram and effectively $150 less…
      Not bad, but not a no-brainer.

      • 9hundred on 27/03/2022 - 13:03

        also it's not amoled

        • Toxinor on 27/03/2022 - 13:45
          +3

          Debatable. That's a bonus to me.

        • bailbondsh on 27/03/2022 - 14:32

          what is amoled, why is 5g needed, i don't think ram's ever been an issue with my first phone….?

          • Toxinor on 27/03/2022 - 15:20

            @bailbondsh: AMOLED is of better color, less consumption but harmful to eyes, also burn in over long time. 5g~ second-hand worths more.
            At current market this might almost be the best medium option, but this is barely an update to any medium range phones of last 3 year.

            • bailbondsh on 27/03/2022 - 15:23

              @Toxinor: Amoled is harmful to eyes. How can I safely use it? Also, burn in the screen you mean? (also how can i help that?). Thanks

                You wear sunglasses ofcourse. 😂

              • Toxinor on 27/03/2022 - 16:46

                @bailbondsh: AMOLED has a special flash at low lights, also staying at the same colour for long time might burn the pixels with permanent marks.
                Better screen controls both better… But it will happen eventually after 1-3 yrs.
                That's why Apple loves it: thinner, less battery consumption, no need to force these customers to be "greener" every year.

              Got a source on that mate?

                • ThadtheChad on 28/03/2022 - 19:46

                  @Toxinor: I read the answers - specifically by the Steven Carmichel.

                  It atttempts to provide a bit of context around the impacts (along with his opinion) on eyestrain occuring from long exposure to burned-in images.

                  This does not, based on my read of it, equate to AMOLED == bad for you. It's more hypothesising that there is a potential for biological damage based on SPD variations, and the papers linked relate to that.

                  I would interpret this as a "potential", with the impact being exceptionally low based on the papers, rather than stating this for more than all of this actually is.

    • BartholemewH on 27/03/2022 - 13:07
      +2

      More of a sidegrade. TCL has more RAM, slower processor, bigger screen, less resolution, bigger battery, thicker and (much) heavier.

      • Balthraka on 27/03/2022 - 13:28

        More ram but slower processor feels like a tradeoff to roughly even and probably not worth the change…
        Thanks!

        • BartholemewH on 28/03/2022 - 08:51

          More RAM is nice, but without 5G as an incentive on the TCL, I agree.

      • shane2770 on 27/03/2022 - 17:44

        My Samsung a50 And Lenovo p2 have 10 client limit.
        But my Poco f2 pro and Redmi note 5 are unlimited.
        So I'm looking for something with a bigger battery with at least 20 client limit minimum

      • spaceflight on 27/03/2022 - 22:41

        Because more clients needs a bigger CPU.
        Especially with higher levels of WiFi encryption.

    • T_double_U on 27/03/2022 - 21:00

      I bought the phone and after having a look now it only allows 8 connections.

      • crazynic on 27/03/2022 - 22:18

        Is there a screen protector preinstalled on the screen? How do you find the phone?

        Thinking of getting it for the parents just for web browsing and checking emails.

        • T_double_U on 27/03/2022 - 23:38
          +1

          No screen protector but it does come with a basic clear case. I'm liking it so far, nice vibrant screen, speakers are a bit lacking IMHO. But overall I'm very happy with it.

          I think they would be happy with it if they're okay with a big phone.

    • stephendt on 04/04/2022 - 15:57

      Get an OpenWrt Router to connect to your hotspot and bridge it to the WAN. From there you can run thousands of clients through your phone's hotspot.

  • dcep on 27/03/2022 - 16:19

    how does this compares to TCL 10 pro ?

    10pro better premium build quality ? amoled / curved / glass back

    • jellykingdom on 27/03/2022 - 17:41

      I can't speak for the comparison, but I have a 10 Pro and I definitely rate it. Cameras were great too (until I smashed one of them). I mean it's no S20 or iPhone 12…

      • tonyjzx on 27/03/2022 - 17:53

        it seems to be just a generational update

        also seems to be normal price:

        https://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/p/tcl-20l-un…

        but the $50 card…

        also a reason i think its cheap is because theres a 5g version

    However, i have recently been blown away from some of the photos comming out of friends iphone 11 pro and am also concidering those second hand ($6-700)

      • zrmx on 28/03/2022 - 11:38

        Seems like TCL is really just releasing redesigns of similar internals (with minor upgrades) for their phones so far, at least for the similar price range. All the phones after PLEX still feel like just sidegrades of PLEX except they have newer OS software upgrade support.

        • superforever on 28/03/2022 - 12:53

      • Durian on 28/03/2022 - 17:21

        Still using my TCL Plex although battery life is not what it used to be. Maybe because I have not been following the recharge from 20% to 80% strategy. Also lagging now - too many apps?

        • superforever on 28/03/2022 - 17:40

          I have no lag and battery still fine, may be I power it off every night to charge it.

          Yes, Gcam is very highly regarded by many users, however I noticed not avail for every mobile & may not function well on non snapdragon mobiles.
          Do a google Gcam. This may be a starting point https://www.gcamator.com/
