TCL 20 Pro 5G review: a smartphone with curves in all the right places

The TCL 20 Pro 5G will be well-suited to those with a keen eye for design

Stunning 6.67-inch curved display ; Long-lasting battery ; Effective selfie camera

Average camera ; Slow charging ; Still no waterproofing

The TCL Pro 5G’s crowning glory is its glossy 6.67-inch curved display. It’ll be perfect for streaming TV on your commute, plus it has very long-lasting battery life. Admittedly with average performance and an okay camera, it’s still not surpassing the...

TCL 20 Pro 5G Review: If future phones are built like this, TCL has a bright future in the market

TCL's flagship handset for 2021 brings a lot to the table, but does it all combine to offer a good value solution for hungry mid-range buyers?

Incredibly crisp display boosted by TCL's Nxtvision software wizardry ; Fast 5G performance ; High quality (mono) speaker ; Headphone jack, IR blaster and wireless charging ; Qi wireless charging a welcome addition

Slow wired phone charging by modern standards ; Wi-Fi speed may limit the potential of the device for certain tasks ; Limited avenues to buy the phone ; Too early to know about timely software updates

TCL Pro 20 5G review: A smartphone rollercoaster full of ups and downs

Life with the TCL 20 Pro 5G has been full of ups and downs, with a particularly rocky start to my review period. Did it manage to fully redeem itself?

“TCL's screen expertise shines through on the TCL 20 Pro 5G, but the rest of the phone -- from the camera to the software --doesn't meet the same standards, and it falls behind the competition.”

TCL 20 Pro 5G Review

Sophisticated design ; Bright, sharp AMOLED display ; Headphone jack ; Solid performance ; Crisp, color-accurate photos

No IP rating ; Limited carrier support at launch ; Lacks C-band support

Sleek and powerful, the TCL 20 Pro 5G competes with pricey flagships thanks to a gorgeous screen and zippy performance.

TCL 20 Pro 5G review: good looks aren’t everything

Offering a high-end look and feel for just $500.

Big, curved-edge display ; Excellent build quality ; Wireless charging

Incomplete 5G network compatibility in the US ; Only two years of security updates ; Camera performance could be better

The 20 Pro 5G offers a 6.67-inch display with curved edges — a rarity in its midrange class. It also includes wireless charging, a 48-megapixel main camera with OIS, and a generous 256GB of built-in storage.

TCL 20 Pro 5G review: A compelling sub-$500 phone

TCL 20 Pro 5G delivers flagship looks but it's not quite there on features

Unique and stunning design ; Bright/vivid display ; Solid camera performance ; MicroSD and 3.5mm headphone jack

Disappointing battery life ; 60Hz refresh rate

The TCL 20 Pro 5G is a solid mid-range option that outshines the competition on build quality and design, but at $499, it may struggle to find a place in the market.

TCL 20 Pro 5G Review: It’s Amateur Hour

When I first set out to review the TCL 20 Pro 5G, I assumed that it would be a very entertainment-oriented device. After all, manufacturers can't put everything in a $530 phone, and the TCL 20 Pro 5G's biggest feature is its 20:9 curved AMOLED display....

Sleek, wonderful design ; Fancy display ; Haptic feedback is really impressive ; Consistent camera performance ; Good selfie camera

60Hz display ; Mono speakers ; Only 2 years of guaranteed updates ; Limited carrier support ; No water-resistance rating ; All photos come out a little blurry ; Lack of direction or focus

TCL 20 Pro 5G Review

TCL has been known for their affordable TVs like the 6-Series. However, for the last couple of years, they have also made smartphones under brands like Blackberry and Palm. This changed last year when TCL debuted their first TCL-branded phones with the...

Premium design that makes it feel like a flagship ; Good cameras ; 15W wireless charging ; All-day battery life ; IR blaster can be useful ; Solid performance

Slippery to hold ; Priced on the higher side for mid-range phones and specs

The TCL 20 Pro is a great phone that offers an excellent and vibrant display as well as good cameras.
