TCL 30 4G Specifications, Price and Availability
TCL has unveiled three smartphones that are quite similar to each other and more like variations on a theme than completely separate models – TCL 30, 30+ and 30 5G.
TCL 30 unveiled
The TCL 30 is almost the same phone as the plus, it’s just a slightly more affordable version. There are only a few differences, starting with the storage – it’s 64 GB (you can still expand it via microSD).
The TCL 30 is also powered the Helio G37, a 12 nm chipset with eight Cortex-A53 cores and a PowerVR GE8320 GPU.
Also, the front-facing camera has a smaller 8 MP sensor (1/4”, pixel size still at 1.12 µm) with a narrower FoV of 78°.
TCL 30 is a Google Android Enterprise Recommended certified device.
Finally, the phone ships with a 10W charger in the box, not 18W. The 5,010 mAh battery still supports 18W charging, but you have to supply a more powerful adapter yourself.
