  • Excellent budget smart phone
This phone has consistently impressed me at every turn. Coming from a Samsung Galaxy budget series that was quite long in the tooth, this runs much faster and has a surprisingly premium quality feel. The screen has this unique matte finish that I've never seen on a phone and is more like an old school tablet or e-reader. I set the slider to default to Max Ink mode, and I engage it while I'm at work. Watching YouTube videos on my break in battery-squeezing black and white is a cozy nostalgic experience! Switching between standard and Max Ink mode, I can easily get two days of battery life out of this phone without any charging anxiety. Apps have no compatibility issues. The Nxtpaper functions are fairly easy to adjust. Screen brightness is highly adaptive and works well in all light conditions. Camera is very good, probably the best in the price range. Excellent value at under $200 on sale. Only downsides are no wireless charging, somewhat limited charging speed and lack of available third party accessories compared to Apple and Samsung devices. Still a phenomenal bargain. ... show more

  • You don't need a flagship anymore.
Coming from high-end Sony, Samsung, LG, and HTC. I was looking for a $200-ish phone to replace a Sony with a dying fingerprint sensor and wanted to try something with a gimmick that I thought could justify taking a hit on processing power. Boy oh boy does this thing deliver on that front. The matte display is GREAT. It is so easy on the eyes, and it is last-gen (3rd); the new higher-end model that the US is still waiting for has a 4th gen display that is purported to be even better. But this is great! Combined with the faux e-ink modes, it is easy to read outside and I can stare at it at night without being kept awake. It has totally solved that issue for me. I also find it easier to read on; I'm pretty nearsighted. Speaking of the e-ink modes, they are very convincing; I use them constantly. The color paper mode makes YouTube videos look...actually very cool. It's just a different look that is easier to stare at, while the default color is punchy and vibrant with the 'enhanced color mode' that is built into the UI. Not the -brightest- screen in the world, but the unique qualities of the screen make it so it doesn't need to be. The display is made in-house by TCL, and the phone almost feels like a technology demonstrator, which is very cool as someone who appreciates something unique. The UI is good. Not obtrusive, it is really just there to facilitate the e-ink functions and some AI functions I was able to easily disable. From what I have read/heard, the AI functions are quite good, but I don't really care. Being a matte display, touch is a joy. It -feels- very nice to use, is super responsive, and leaves little to no fingerprints. I have never had to clean my screen. Processing power is adequate, but not flagship. Works fine for 2D games and browsing; general use is still snappy. Scrolling through image-dense Amazon listings is a little choppy, but whatever. Phone does not heat up at all, under any workload I've given it, granted I have not tried any high-end gaming on it and don't expect it to perform well on that front. BUT, what this weak processor does help with is battery. I end the day with 50-60% battery remaining, and on days where I don't use my phone much I have seen upwards of 85%. It is stellar compared to what I am used to, and is awesome for a $200-ish device (on sale). Cameras I put at the utility level. I don't care, as I am usually carrying around a camera more capable than what is on a phone anyway. The 50MP main camera is -good enough-, while the 5MP ultrawide is useless as one would guess. The default camera app does not output RAW, and 3rd party apps are not able to shoot at 50MP while outputting RAW. TCL, fix this! There is no technical reason to have the main camera app not output a native 50MP RAW file. It does have utility for people that actually benefit from using that mode! There aren't many of us, as 50MP on a phone camera is, honestly, dumb, but some of us do like to squeeze out ever mililitre of performance. Yes, it is a question of if you can, should you, but then again, if you can, why not? Just put a warning pop-up saying that it will take up a lot of phone space with no benefit or something. It DOES support external storage (microSD), has a headphone jack, sadly only USB 2.0 for data transfer. Wi-Fi is only Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac), but that has been fine for what this phone is for - anything but high-end gaming. Wi-Fi connects well, the range is very good; kind of too good. It stays connected to my home Wi-Fi longer than I would like when I leave the house. I do wish I could set it to cut out upon the signal weakening to a certain point. Case compatibility; I reviewed the case I put on it. For such a niche phone, it has decent case options. I don't think it is needed for durability, but for ergonomics. The phone has the same problem every other slab has, in that it is hard to hold and type on without a case and Pop-Socket. Conclusion: If you are in the market for a cheap phone, I think it is worth giving up the processing power of the 60 XE's main competitor, the Nord N30, for the sake of the unique display. This display is, honestly, better for more people in day-to-day use. If you care about cameras and game performance: Nord N30 or Nothing CMF. Everyone else: This. ... show more

  • Amazing TCL phone, works like it was a $1000 follars
This phone is absolutely worth it!! I have visible wireless and literally just plugged my sim card from my old phone in and transferred my data with a cable and I was fully using it in an hour with all my settings. Beautiful display and super fast. Many different screen settings and a very long battery life. TCL is a great product and you can trust it. Also looking at the tablet and TV as well. I would recommend this product to anyone looking for a great phone at an amazing price. Super fast shipping as well!! Works like a dream and was spot in n compatible with my old android. Setup was a breeze using a cable between the old and new phone. Absolutely recommend!! ... show more

  • Great phone for the money, but QC may be an issue...mine bricked after 8 months.
I bought the phone for the Max Ink screen. The high contrast grayscale mode paired with mat screen makes reading text easy on the eye, one of the best text reader setups in the cellphone industry. Having said that, I found myself not using Max Ink Mode as much as I thought I would because: 1. Although switching the mode is relatively easy, the Max Ink Mode changes the user interface, and it feels like I have to get used to a different device; 2. The screen is not Gorilla Glass, so it would be advisable to use a screen protector (I already cracked mine). But if you do, you get all the glare of the protector and none of the non-reflective matted surface that is so pleasant to use. You almost have to choose between durability and readability; 3. Screen is not bright at all in daylight, especially if you use a screen protector and lose the matted surface. Definitely not a beach phone. I wasn't expecting much in terms of performance as this is a value-priced phone, but it loaded every app I needed and does what it does well enough for non-power user like me. I would say the performance level is about similar to my much-older previous phone. The real-world battery life is very good, often lasting a full day and more. On Max Ink Mode, it could theoretically last three days, and based on my usage, I think it could. I just find that mode cumbersome and end up leaving the phone in the normal mode. Overall, it was a very usable phone, until it bricked on me. The phone went completely dead about 8 months in, while playing a YouTube video, and I could not revive it. The warranty repair process was relatively straightforward, but not easy, as I had to call the service center to get the warranty repair approved, then fill out an online form and upload purchase documents, then pay $20 for shipping, box the phone up and mail it in. Surprisingly, it only took a little over a week for the round trip and I had my perfectly working phone back (minus the couple of days worth of setup I had to redo). I would've given it 4 stars as it is a reasonably good phone for a very good price. But because of the QC issue and the time I wasted on the warranty process, not to mention the $20 out of pocket for a repair fully under warranty, I subtracted a star. ... show more

  • It's a good phone
It's a great phone for the price and the features you get are great. It has a headphone jack! And SD card expansion which are becoming more rare as we go forward and regress by removing things instead of adding and improving. The screen is 120hz and is very easy on the eyes, the colors are pleasing to look at with the anti glare screen. The camera is amazing on this phone and has pretty good filters to play with if you are into that stuff including the paper filters. It does slow motion video as well. Clearly the main feature is the E paper like display(it's an lcd not an e-ink) it has a button on the side to put it in the e paper mode and it's very good for when you want to read or general use in color e paper mode ... show more

  • Scratching like it's a 90's mixtape. No match for a fob. Scratching like it's a 90's mixtape. No match for a fob.
The phone seemed fine for the price. A month later, and I am not as impressed. The novelty has worn off- along with the screen surface. See below. DAILY ISSUES: I notice some speed or lag issues occasionally. Screen brightness is a constant battle. It changes all the time. I have to readjust it constantly. I have changed settings numerous times. The Haptic/Static feature is kind of annoying. When the phone is on a flat surface, the response is off. I sometimes have to pick up the phone to get screen responses, such as opening an app or typing. GOOD FEATURES: Options to change screens and power saving are nice. The battery life in the "ink" setting is really good. THE MAIN ISSUE: Matte screen finish will scratch very easily. My screen protector broke, so I peeled it off. I have new ones on the way. I kept my phone in a pocket for about ten minutes. When I pulled it out, I saw several scratches covering about an inch of the screen. (Pictures attached) NOTE: A piece of hard plastic left scratches in the surface. I did not have a diamond-tip drill bit in my pocket, guys. I had a key fob in my pocket. It's plastic. I contacted Amazon, and they connected me to the TCL Customer Service department. After several days of messages, I received the following: ______________________________________________________ Thank you for waiting. We are sorry for any inconvenience caused. After confirming with our technical team, please note the following: What may appear to be scratches on the screen is usually not actual damage. Our eye-protection screen uses an AG etching process. When it comes into contact with metal, tiny metallic particles may attach to the microscopic pits on the AG surface. These marks can generally be wiped away. To prevent this, we recommend avoiding keeping your phone together with metal objects. If marks appear, you can usually re move them with a glasses cloth or an er aser. For more stubborn spots, a small amount of toothpaste or mild detergent should help. Best regards, TCL Customer Service ______________________________________________________ You can't really enjoy the paper-like surface for too long, which means covering it with a screen protector. Defeats the purpose, as that was one of the main features I found interesting - albeit novel. So, keep feathers in your pocket and always carry this phone in a felt box. You'll get to enjoy it for a few more weeks than expected. ... show more

  • Great all around phone and value.
Great value and I love the matte screen. Good battery life. At first I was disappointed withe the charging speed, but that was easily fixed with a USB-C to USB-C cable and 30 watt charging block. Everything is easy to use and the screen wasn't bad in sunlight when I increased the brightness of the screen. I find it to perform better than similarly priced Motorollas or Samsung. If you want a matte screen or read a lot on your phone, this is the phone for you. I only play chess and the occasional casual game. It works great for that. Definitely the best bang for your buck out of the mid tier phones out there today. ... show more

  • Great phone one thing to look out for
great phone. One caveat, im currently a verizon customer but im also an xfinity at home customer. Xfinity is now offering some incentives. This phone (as it says in the details) is 5G Power with Broad Carrier Compatibility and later Unlocked, compatible only with AT&T, T-Mobile, and Verizon for reliable 5G connectivity. Not compatible with other carriers. Checking xfinity web site confirms that. So if your ever going to be thinking about switching something to consider. Now for the good news, I love this phone. Display is great, usability is great. I added a 512 san card (nice to have a phone you can still do that with) and it helps with space for some of the apps i use. I can't comment on battery life since it seems like i never get particularly low (a pleasant change from some of my past phones) ... show more
