      I buy none, I get gifted practically any one of them. 😅
      But the TCL 40 Series,
      NOW that's something I haven't got my hands on. 😲
      It's got pretty nice specs for it's value!
      6.75“ SCREEN SIZE 90Hz - Big, smooth & comfy.
      6GB OF RAM² - Power for streamlined performance.
      50MP AI TRIPLE CAMERA - Artful low-light shots.
      8MP SELFIE CAMERA - Refined selfies with AI Face Beauty.
      5010mAh (Typ.) 18W CHARGE - Intelligent charging mode slows battery aging.
      A Nature-Inspired design of Twilight Purple & Dark Grey. 🟣⚫

    As a budget buyer, I'd be looking for basic value for money and the 40SE brings that, as long as I could get the 256GB model (but Amazon say it's not available until June). In this price bracket, not only is the memory availability as good as you can get, but it's also got Android 13. I want it to avoid obsolescence for longer - I don't change my phone often - budget buyers are often very infrequent buyers and that's what draws me to the 40SE. As for 5G, unless you live in a thoroughly wired-up remote-control home, I don't see a huge need, so I could forego it here and save some money.

    I am very impressed, I currently have an iPhone 13pro and although it's good, the majority of its brags, I rarely use! I do benefit from 5G though as I appreciate the excellent advantages of the speedy network in my area. I really like the idea of the TCL 40R5G which I think, covers all the bases with very few compromises, looks lovely, and is realistically priced and I am excited to see phones like these coming to UK shores offering realistic affordable alternatives.

    I actually like the sunlight mode. Sometimes I go outside and I see my smartphone screen become dark to the point where it's indistinguishable to a completely switched off screen and I have to indoors to manually adjust screen brightness. The automatic screen brightness function is a hit and miss; too bright at dark and too dim at daylight.
    In the end I like TCL 40 R 5G as it have that background desaturation function that can be really useful for interviews

    I LOVEEEEE my TCL phone. Dropped it HARD a million times and she's still going strong and my SE is lightning quick and has amazing video on a large screen. I bought it 2 years ago for 180 bucks..I thenk got qlink wireless which wound up being Tmobile high speed unlimited everything for free every month...so for years now I have this amazing phone and unlimited service for FREE. Get the SE. Does what a phone 4 times the money can do. The ONLY thing I think mine lacks is wireless charging...but again..GREAT phone!

  • @oladapoadeshina246

    Both phones are equipped with reasonable features even at subsidised prices. yes! Subsidised prices. Affordable at even under mid-range budget price.
    The features I love most about the TCL 40 Series are;
    1. The 5G network band innovation which ultimately maximizes fun.
    Users don't have to rely on public Wi-Fi before surfing the net. A built-in 5G chipset will enable stream on the go without interruptions.
    2. With an adaptive 90Hz NXTVISION display feature, exploring next-level sensations is made possible. Users are to experience explosive colors and sharper details on a cinema-like 6.6" display as they stream, socialize, and have fun.
    3. I love the Intelligent Charging Mode. The phone recharges overnight to be ready just before you wake up. This really helps preserve energy and
    Increases the battery's lifespan.
    4. And lastly the camera take sharp, non-blurry images with fast focus and enhanced stabilization.
    Conclusively, it's a smartphone at budget price with amazing features.

    I think mobile phone has become part of our lives. The camera features enables us to take pictures for memory sake and the internal storage which is now handy makes storing these memories easier.
    This mobile device TCL 40 se has caught my fancy especially because of its camera, 256 storage and battery. 50mp camera sensor is just amazing I could snap the whole world with it ☺️☺️
    256 storage is enormous enough to store thousands of good pictures and memories of specia l moments. The battery is enough to last through the day. This is just the perfect device for me, for anyone who wants something nice, fast, convenient and quality. TCL is doing great and I love them for their efforts.

  • @buckaroo2798

    Both phones offer great value for money, but for me with its cheaper selling point the tcl 40se is the one I would buy. It has great HD+ large display with evenly balanced speakers which would be great to consume a bit of tech chap content on. 😄

    I've been impressed with what I've seen and heard about tcl's tv's so had a browse at there phone range.
    I usually buy a mid range mobile phone, but have to say I'm impressed at the value / performance ratio of this phone.
    I've just ordered the purple version, not my usual preference but it looked great compared to grey.
    My 1 year old Motorola has disintegrated on me, first the fingerprint reader and now the charging port is playing up, so I'm happy to come across your review.

    Personally, the TCL 40R 5G is my favourite, taking the cake and just edging out the 40 SE. 5G isn't a necessity but the Dimensity 700 Chip's added performance is greatly appreciated in this day and age. The best feature is the camera, especially at this price point and the AI colour video mode just adds to it. Love the backplate design! For just $50 more, the TCL 40R 5G is an absolute steal.

  • @christophercallander1370

    My galaxy S10 I've had for 3 years has given up but looking for a cheap temporary replacement and saw the TCL 40 Se going for about £100 and as always I do a bit of research first, really interested in this phone after your review thanks, only annoyance is no telephoto and wide angle as the camera is what I always base my upgrades on. I may have to change direction for this one as will do all the other things I need to do. The 6gb ram one is more interesting gthanthe 4gb ram version and also comes with kore storage, the purple looks lovely too! Thanks for the video

    The stardust purple sounds like an extremely exciting color to have. 40 R5G is really the model I find that would meet all of my needs. I love watching videos without doing any gaming. The 50 mp camera would definintely replace the unit I have. Well actually it would replace my wife's Samsung since she always complains about the picture quality being poor. Looking forward to more videos about tech subjects

  • @ashdoestech

    The only thing that gets me to watch these phone videos is if they are good for gaming and the price point. These phones tick the boxes. Their best points for me are the 5000mah battery + 90hz refresh rate + PRICE. I would choose the 40 R 5G because it has a faster chip. I would definitely recommend this to anyone looking for a good value phone. Thanks for the great video, Chap!

    The twilight purple is nice and purdy and all that jazz but unless you are a lemming you are going to have a CASE on it. So color doesnt really matter that much. To all of those who have a grain of sense, these two things are what should be important: Durability and functionality. Thats pretty much it. If you are buying a phone because its "pretty" then you have way more cheddar than I do and Id like a zero interest loan plz.

    @rickmcneal1660 Год назад

    I guess I'm a bit of an outlier here. I'd go with the SE at $169. These are budget phones and folks probably are also looking at budget phone plans which either don't have 5G or a low limited data cap. So many places of WiFi available I've found it rare when I'm actually using cellular data and have a need for 5G speed. For me, my cellular data is commonly text messages and map updates for navigation while driving.

    Really appreciate this review. Too much fluff on the more expensive phones, which I can't afford. I particularly like the fact that you are not obsessed with video quality and the cameras.

    My fave is the 40 SE and its the price point that tops it for me.

    I would choose TCL 40 R 5G. I liked the video enhancement feature.
