Like the Moto G22, it has a limited 720p display, and unlike the Moto G22, it doesn’t even extend to a 90Hz refresh rate. This means very good things for stamina. In practical terms, the TCL 30 SE doesn’t feel very fluid in the hand, with a constant state of wallowiness as you navigate through screens and between apps. The phone lost 8% of its charge after an hour of video streaming, and 3% after an hour of music streaming. By comparison, the Moto G22 lost 3% and 1% respectively, suggesting it’s much more efficient in everyday media playing tasks. It’s a reassuringly solid phone to hold, aided by a somewhat chunky 165.2 x 75.5 x 8.9 mm body and a healthy 190g weight.

Still, at least this is an IPS panel, meaning that viewing angles are acceptable and the overall picture is reasonably clear. On the software front you’re looking at a custom take on Android 12, with TCL UI 4.0 layered on top. TCL’s take on Android has never been the worst on the market, but it’s far from the best. TCL may not be as instantly recognisable a name as Apple or Samsung, but this smartphone company has been making waves with their innovative designs, stylish good looks, and outstanding performance. Put simply, TCL phones are regarded as some of the best on the market. To make sure your TCL phones look as good and have the protection they need from everyday challenges like scratching and dirt, we’ve put together a selection of cases for TCL phones that should please everyone.

Still, the phone’s MediaTek MT6762G Helio G25 chip is an extremely limited component, hitting a lowly average score of 877 in the Geekbench 5 multi-core test. That’s even lower than the Moto G22 and the Oppo A16s, neither of which exactly blew us away in performance terms.

The phone’s screen is nothing to write home about, even within the context of a budget price point. At 6.52 inches, it’s not particularly huge, nor is it very sharp at 720 x 1600. I’ve said it before, but Full HD or 1080p really should be the acceptable minimum in today’s large-screen phones. Indeed, one of the most noteworthy omissions here is any sort of Night mode. Taking my usual low light test shots, there was no dedicated mode to be found in the Camera settings menu, while shooting in auto merely activated the flash. The resulting low light shots are predictably murky and noisy. Another notable omission is any form of ultra-wide camera. Rather, the two supplementary sensors include a 2MP macro camera and a 2MP depth sensor, neither of which are worth much at all. Things don’t improve much when you turn to consider the GPU. I couldn’t even get our usual 3DMark Wild Life tests to run on the TCL 30 SE, while the lesser Sling Shot tests are unimpressive. Scores of around 854 for Sling Shot and 484 for Sling Shot Extreme pitch it down with the Moto G22.

The TCL 30 SE runs on a large 5000mAh battery. As with most other affordable phones combining humble hardware with a chunky cell, it’ll last you a day easily, and quite possibly two in-between charges.
