The TCL 10 Pro is bringing the brand into the world of smartphones. TCL has made a name for itself in the world of TVs, but the brand is relatively unknown when it comes to phones. The TCL 10 Pro is an attempt to change that. It’s got a high-end design paired with mid-range specs, but is it enough to put TCL on the map?
Update: That Google Assistant button on the side of the phone? Turns out you CAN remap it, but only on the US version of the device.

Do understand that flagship prices has reached in the $1000 range but how is a $450 phone a budget phone, what is a mid range phone $800 smh
I do like the look of this phone. Especially compared to my Note 10+ & my iPhone 8+. I’d say most all phones don’t rattle around because just about everyone puts a case on. I like my screen naked but I gotta protect my phone with a case, whether its a $100 phone or $1200 phone.
Four hours of SoT? What on earth? I’m getting about 5.5 hours of SoT with the four-year-old (!) OP3 that I’m watching this on! O.o
That is wayy too overpriced

YOOO MATTE BLACK
The Xiaomi Mi Note 10. Turns out camera bumps are quite useful if you want a good camera. Install Gcam on it and it’s really darn good, cause then you’ve got great hardware and great software processing.
The ZTE axon 10pro sells for around the same price
Oh my word, this are the same guys who were manufacturing blackberry 10 devices. So happy to see them roll out their own smartphones.
I get more than 4 hours of screen on time with my iPhone 7.. so maybe your phone is defective?
What about the processor it houses Snapdragon 675, which is a mid range chipset. Why not Poco F1 it is still better with Snapdragon 845 and inexpensive too.
Price too high marketing will be the key and bring a 250$ phone in India then go TCL
Could have waited and released it after July and views on setting of price and advertising could be developed before handing it to public . India has too be one serious market for TCL deliver a great screen , good processor and decent camera price around 250$ walla boom
Who photographs the beauty shots in these reviews? Who just chucks their phone on their shoes… gardening gloves… or random bits of wood?
100× better than iPhone SE 2020.
4 hours of battery life? I get between 6–7.5. My button on the left (not a Google assist button) is programmable -(US Version anyways) TCL calls this the Smart Key BTW per their review manual you were sent. And the release software is not out yet.
The UI looks straight out from Samsung! 🧐
What a rant about saturation?!!
You know the saturation slider also goes to the left right? 🙄
Great review, really like his style!
Complaining about default Watermark settings and saying grandmas will face issue is too much lame !!
I bet if this review was done by Dieter, he would bash this phone like no other. He compares budget phone to flagships which a twice the price
Nice phone yet too little storage for my requirements .. 128gb minimum I seek!
Nah.. Its a pass for me for that price i could buy two lg g8
4:42 😂😂😂 TCL destroyed in seconds
A 600 SD series. That’s all. TCL for me is not a good choice on smartphone world
Just found out that T‑Mobile Owns the Color Magenta lmao.
I’d rather buy LG V60
At that price I’d have to go for the Xiaomi note 10 🙂
Its going to rock the market very soon
What budget are you sticking to?
$130 USD Xiaomi phone is holding up so well.
TCL spys on users please do not review these kind of tech as matter of fact you are a big influencer in tech industry.
Imagine not understanding copy-write laws, no wonder the vox’s exec lost his law degree
Nice, thanks
He’s coming the TCL camera with Pixel camera which has one of the best cameras due to its software.
I’m not artsy fartsy, I disagree, I love the saturation in this phone. I Cbf adding or change the saturation in the photos.

Just another slab of glass 👎
4hrs of on-screen time to 0% battery?? Is this correct? 4hrs? I just heard a reviewer on TWIT saying he had to change his battery testing methodology because his previous test, running continuous 4k HD video for 1/2 hr, fell within the margin of error seeing battery usage changes.
There’s NO WAY you emptied 4500ma in 4hrs of non-gaming screen time!
Waauw„ sounds like alot of negatives to me … wonder if they are really that …
I just got mine
I hope another company will make a PROFESSOR phone than seeing everything PRO.
worse review of any cell phone i have ever seen … If you want to customize your own pictures disable all those functions and on top you are talking about you want to customize your own way.… Hey mr dummy this phone is made for people who just want to use it for regular stuff… I dont know what Verge is going to get people who know what they are talking about or even give a review that makes sense… journalism is miles away as it looks more like a opinion then a review.…
You have too many complain, please give it to me 🤣🤣🤣
You don’t like saturated screens that is insane. Love the lookof a saturated AMOLED display makes all the colors pop and looks so pleasing to the eye. That is the whole reason I can’t buy an iPhone. I had the iPhone 11 pro max and the whole reason that I sent it back what’s because the display was the weakest part of the phone and that’s what you look at the most. Granted I’m not going to buy the TCL but my favorite phones are the Samsung s line note series and one plus
Nah, TCL has already announced just 1year of OS updates. Makes it a hard pass!
What do you expect .…They made BB
Specifications?
hold up! you have roller coaster tycoon on mobile? how? where? why did I not know?
Just buy refurbished pixel or grade a oneplus instead.
Mine is about 1 1/2 years and I keep in case so when it didn’t work as usual I took it out of the case and it was unglued on the right side and bottom. What is solution to fix?
