TCL 10 5G UW phone is now available on Verizon

I was provided with a phone to review. All opinions are my own.

When my son started taking public transportation to go to his classes, I knew it was the moment he needed a phone. Although only 13 at the time, he was in a dual program taking college classes and riding the bus. I knew we needed to stay connected with him and be able to communicate in case he missed the bus.

Initially he got a phone that it was pretty much for calling and texting, but off course he wanted something better. He is only 15 and I am not sure he needs the latest smart phone out there, but I do want him to stay connected and be able to play on his phone as well. So when I heard that TCL and Verizon were coming with a new affordable phone that has 5G connectivity plus impressive display quality, I knew we needed to get a hold of one to review and see if it is indeed all that was promised.

The phone in a nutshell:

• EXPERIENCE THE SPEED OF 5G Unlock Verizon’s 5G Ultra Wideband network with the powerful Snapdragon™ 765 5G chipset with mmWave support for super-fast downloads, 4K video with little to no buffering, and video-chat in high definition.
  
• NXTVISION DISPLAY Featuring a 6.53” FHD+ Display with dedicated display engine for enhanced color, clarity, and contrast. NXTVISION technology delivers true-to-life visuals, HDR video playback, and less eye strain.
  
• FLUID PERFORMANCE Fast connectivity meets fast performance with 6GB of RAM, up to 128GB of user storage and microSD™ card support up to an additional 256GB1 , plus fast-charging 4500 mAh battery for all-day use.
  
• ADVANCED TRIPLE CAMERA Capture steady videos in 4K and high-resolution images with the AI-powered 48MP camera, 8MP super wide-angle camera, and 5MP macro camera with NXTVISION technology.
  
• FLAGSHIP DESIGN Be noticed with TCL 10 5G UW’s edgy style. Its symmetrical camera layout and rounded glass backing provide a premium visual and tactile experience for an amazing value. 

So far we are very impressed. Although not all areas have 5G available at this time, when we were in Los Angeles area this week, we were able to see how fast the connectivity is when you are actually connected to 5G. 

I think what I like the most is the price and the sleek design. I think my son loves the battery life and the display screen that allows him to play some of his games. So far, we are very impressed and we recommend it as a phone for a teen or someone that wants a good looking phone but in a budget.

Pros:

• At $399.99 USD, making it the most affordable device on Verizon’s 5G lineup
• Premium blend of performance and power
  
• Stylish design
  
• 5G connectivity
  
• 6.5-inch Full HD+ display

Cons: 

• No wireless charging
