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.

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.

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!!

Quality Android Phone
Quality Android phone. Screen size is great, doesn’t smudge with fingerprints due to the screen protector that comes preinstalled with it. Battery life is excellent. Speed is snappy. Good photo quality. Great value for the your money. I always research before I buy and this was the best I can find for this price. I bought a nice case for it as well. Compatible with everything I use. Good security features like fingerprint scanner.

Would not recommend at all
This phone may be fine for someone who just texts and calls and that’s it, but besides that, I cannot recommend this phone at all. It struggles to open or load basic apps. In addition to that, TCL has bloatware built in that “optimizes” your phone by not allowing apps to continuously run in the background. This has been causing all sorts of issues for me such as not receiving notifications as needed, not keeping an accurate location, etc. I’ve been trying to deactivate this “feature” since I got it 2 months ago, and have had no luck. In fact, the problem has been getting continuously worse where apps just aren’t functioning at all at this point. It’s been so frustrating that I’ve been messaging them on here begging for a refund, even though I’m past the typical return window.Other issues I’ve noticed in addition to this are the screen and camera. The screen is dark and has severe glare issues. A majority of the time I can’t use my phone outside because the glare makes it impossible to even see the screen. The epaper-like screen is cool in theory but it does not make much of a difference in daily usage.The camera is low quality and crashes half of the time when I open it. If it doesn’t crash it freezes and stutters constantly.Don’t bother with this phone.
