The Chinese company TCL has just launched its TCL 20 SE phone in Argentina, a mid-range model equipped with Android 11, a model that seeks to maintain a balance between price and performance. Recognized in recent years for its eye-catching foldable and rollable mobile phone prototypes, the company is one of the largest manufacturers of televisions and displays for different electronic devices and is now positioning itself in the competitive smartphone market.

At first glance, it is a device that draws attention due to its dimensions and stylized design, in tune with the latest smartphone releases that prioritize a large screen. As is often the case within the range of mid-range equipment, the TCL 20 SE is a proposal that aims to combine some of the characteristics of the most sophisticated models, such as the four cameras and its large 6.82-inch screen. It also stands out, given its configuration, for the great autonomy offered by its 5000 mAh battery.

A screen with special settings

The TCL 20SE is a device with a large screen that conditions the size of the phone, which exceeds the top-of-the-range models on the market by a few millimeters. In its favor, the phone has a weight of 206 grams that is not uncomfortable in everyday use. This clarification is valid for those who are used to a smartphone with a small screen, although for most cases, the transition to large models does not entail major inconveniences.

Equipped with a 6.82'' HD+ screen with a resolution of 1640 by 720 pixels, the phone is equipped with NXTVISION, a TCL proprietary technology that offers brighter colors, with improvements in contrast and image sharpness. It is a setting that should be activated to take advantage of the equipment's features, and it is present in a pre-installed application that facilitates direct access to these settings, without the need to enter the smartphone's configuration panel.

Within the NXTVISION application it will also be possible to opt for a series of additional screen settings, such as the grayscale reading mode, a very useful option for those who seek to avoid distractions in the daily use of the smartphone, which is deactivated at the time of access the photo gallery to view photos or videos in full color. It also has visual comfort mode, an option that reduces blue light at night by adjusting the temperature in order to avoid visual fatigue.

Great autonomy with consistent performance

Within the 20 series, the TCL 20 SE ranks as the most complete model offered by the company in the local market. On the one hand, the smartphone is equipped with four cameras with a configuration of 48 MP for the main lens, 5 MP for the wide angle, 2 MP for macro shots and 2 MP for depth portraits, which offer very good performance in captures in sunlight, although the records are not as satisfactory in low light conditions. As well as display settings, TCL also offers pre-configured light tracking capture functions for moving portraits, light capture and drawing, among many other settings based on AI functions, such as color or selective erasing.

Inside, the TCL 20 SE has a Qualcomm Snapdragon 460 processor, accompanied by 4 GB of RAM and 128 GB of storage, a very good capacity within the mid-range segment when it comes to installing and using various applications and services such as navigation , chat, social networks and photography. This capacity can also be expanded with a 256GB microSD card.

Within these specifications, the 5000 mAh battery stands out, which, in a device with a configuration typical of the mid-range segment, allows it to offer great autonomy of use, up to two days of use with a full charge and moderate use of social networks, chat and web browsing. It also offers the possibility of sharing the battery capacity with the reverse charging function.

It is a 4G device, with Wi-Fi and Bluetooth, but it does not have NFC, a feature that is often highly required by users of the Carga SUBE application.

The TCL 20 SE is a smartphone that uses a version of Android 11 with some customizations that do not overload the team, with useful settings such as the different NXTVISION screen modes or a shortcut button to lock the device, a system optimization tool or a file manager. It also has a side virtual panel that allows you to add up to twelve shortcuts to the applications installed on the phone.

The TCL phone comes with several accessories in the box: a 10W charger that allows a full charge of the battery in 4 hours. It also comes with a rigid plastic case that fits easily to the equipment, along with a protective film for the screen. The presence of headphones with a microphone is also notable, a complement that is not usually present in the latest local smartphone launches.

Conclusions

With a suggested price of 37,999 pesos, the TCL 20 SE is an interesting proposal for the mid-range segment. It is a phone that achieves a good balance with its features, with a screen with bright colors, four cameras that work very well in good light conditions and has a configuration according to the segment in RAM memory and storage capacity, accompanied by excellent autonomy of use.
