TCL 10 Pro Review: INCREDIBLE Performance and 4 Cameras. ONLY $449 By TechOdyssey

Hey everybody welcome back to tech Odyssey, so we already did the unboxing the first impressions. We've got a short glimpse at this brand-new device. The TCL 10 Pro, but we're here today to do the full review of TCL, 10 Pro, so sit back and let's dive in and take a look at what it has to offer. So the TCL 10 Pro comes around at four hundred and $49 GSM unlocked. It's got four cameras on the back of the phone, which is pretty sweet, and it's running the snapdragon 675 processors, six gigabytes of ram 4,500 million battery and 128 gigabytes of on-board storage for all of your storage needs, got a 6.5 inch, effective OLED panel with 1080p and HDR 10, and running Android 10 as well. Plus it supports HDR 10 with Netflix, which is really cool, and on top of that, you've got a 64 megapixel primary camera with a 16 megapixel ultra-wide 5, megapixel macro camera.

So you can get your up-close shots and then a 2 megapixel depth sensor. So you can get some really fantastic. Both effect portrait shots with this camera, which is really uncanny for 449 dollars, but at first glance it looks really fantastic and let's go ahead and take a look at the rest of the phone and see what it has to offer. And here we are with the TCL 10 pro pretty exciting stuff on I've, actually been really interested in this phone ever since I got to see it at the TCL announcement at CES and Las Vegas back in January, so back then I didn't know what it was. Going to come out, but now here we are, it may the 14th, which is the day that we can release all this stuff, but on the 19th is when it's going to be available for you to buy for four hundred and forty-nine dollars now I'm, not a Salesman I'm, just letting you know that's how much is going to cost, and I actually happen to think it's worth it.

So some of the key information you need to know about, even though we already covered this a few minutes ago in the intro six point, four seven inch AMOLED display six gigabytes of RAM. It's got Android. Ten, they promise it's going to have at least Android 11, maybe more, but they're committed to Android 11, o TG charging. You can charge another phone with this tremendous 4500 William battery, which is really, really good for a phone with this processor. This size, I have not been able to kill this battery and one day I'm actually well.

I actually was running a test the day before this, just letting it run video all day. So I could see how long that it would last, and you're going to get at least you know six seven hours of screen on time. Out of this thing, it's really, really impressive. So leading off with this four camera array on first base, we have the sixty-four megapixel primary shooter, a 16, megapixel wide-angle camera lens, so you can get wide-angle shots. Then you've got the 5 megapixel 4 macro lens photography, which is something that I love, taking pictures of things up close and personal bugs water droplets.

After its rained all these little features that you normally miss out on when you have to zoom in with your phone or get up close and then the 2 megapixel depth sensor, so you can take perfect selfie. Sorry, perfect portrait shots. The portrait shots on this are fantastic, I went out, and I took quite a few of them, and one thing that I really love about the camera is the way that the pictures look. They are sharp. It's got a nice both effect easy to use, no crazy, shenanigans or anything, and it just looks nice and smooth.

We've got a nice buttery, smooth, both effect, and then it makes the pictures kind of stand out. But one thing I do want to say about this, though, is the color saturation is, is really nice. It's a little on the over saturated side, and this thing loves green and blue colors. They just pop. They look perfect.

It's not quite Samsung color saturation, but it's not. You know over on the more natural Department like you get with an iPhone or an LG camera, but it looks perfect, and it's not super over saturated, but you can tell that you know there's a little of electronic influence going on right there, but looks good you've got this nice Ember a great color on here as well. There's a green color! That's going to come out later! It's not available right now, but you'll see it and whenever it comes out later, it's really something else, but the phone itself. It's got like this nice gradient I, don't know if they call this hombre effect or what, but it's like a flat gray, but you can see, there's got a shine to it and if you know just kind of changes as the light hits it. Furthermore, it's really, really nice.

Furthermore, it's smooth, it's actually pretty sleek. The sides are not too bad, though I'm not overly concerned about dropping it. But if you set this on your hand or a flat surface, you might want to have to worry about it. Sliding around a little so definitely include the case that conveniently comes with it now, when I'm talking about the case, it is important to mention, there's not really any aftermarket accessories for it. So you've got this, and you might want to invest in some liquid glass screen protector, which it does help I've used it before on other phones that are kind of short and the accessory Department.

But overall, that's only one of the small complaints that I have about the phone. Now you got facial recognition. You got the fingerprint unlocked on it now the fingerprint sensor, it's the infrared style kind of like one plus likes to use this one's, not as refined and as polished and as quick is what I have found on like the OnePlus or some of the lesser expensive Samsung devices. It does work, it's fairly accurate. It is a little on the slower side, but it's there, maybe you'll get better I do want to say this.

This is a pre-release software that I'm using, and they're. Expecting you know shortly after the device releases, they have a full software update with some more things that you know might fine-tune that and make it a little better. So I don't want to really ding that the facial recognition is pretty cool. It's not true. Facial scanning, like with the face ID that you get on the iPhone, but it is nice, it's quick, it's pretty accurate I haven't really had any problems with it.

The screen is super sensitive. Whenever you go to touch it, it's not something that you're going to have to worry about, not working when you press it, I found it to be a little on the sensitive side. So in your finger get super, super close. You might get some ghost touches, especially around the edges, with the curved display. It reminds me a lot of the OnePlus 7 pro and that's very complimentary.

Whenever it comes to form factor, and it comes to what's going on, it looks nice, it's got a nice vibrant screen. The only thing I've noticed with the screen is, as you kind of turn the angle, or you get to an angle with it. It loses a little of the brightness. It gets maybe like a little shadow on the screen, and it's not that you can't see if it's just whenever you have a more direct viewing angle, it's much brighter, but as you kind of tilt it away on axis, you can see a little. So that's totally fine, though, because it's not going to be using the phone from anyway one cool thing about the Bluetooth in here: it's actually capable of connecting to four different devices at the same time.

So, if you're sitting around your buddies, you've got this sweet new song on your phone. You want everyone to listen to with their sweet headphones if you ever find yourself in that sort of situation or if you want to connect it to four Bluetooth speakers. At the same time, that's really cool now, I've seen phones that can do two before I, don't ever remember being advertised as connecting them to four. So you can actually connect four simultaneous devices to siphon off and listen to the same thing at the same time, which is really cool, but you still get the headphone jack on top. Alright, so one other thing I want to talk about is the sound experience on here.

If you're an audiophile you're going to like this, because you've got L back, support, you've got HD app text, you've got regular app text and AAC all the codecs. You need for the best transmission, with the lowest latency on your Bluetooth 5.0 connection to your headphones and then, of course, over the wired connection as well totally good now, I do want to demonstrate the sound because it does have pretty good speakers. Well, it has a good speaker. It only has one there's a downward firing speaker down here on the bottom, I'll go ahead and fire up this. You know copyright, copyright, free, music, real quick.

Just so you can hear what it sounds like I've got, my condenser mic will hit play. It gets pretty darn loud for one speaker and that's it. A hundred percent volume will turn down to fifty percent, and they're just a quick, sound test, because sometimes people want to hear what the sound experience is actually like on the phone. So one of the cool things about this phone is the smart key over here on the side mentioned it briefly earlier and in the unboxing and first impressions you can come, you can program it for three different settings, short press, a double press and a long press. You can pretty much set it to whatever you want.

So it's nice I have mine, set up one press for Google Assistant, two presses to go to the camera, and then the long press I haven't set that one just because I'm not a big fan of long-press, but you can set it up for that too. So that's a really nice smart feature that goes along with this phone and there's one other cool thing with the phone for the edge lighting. When you get a notification, you can have it on where it lights up around the edge of the screen, and you can see that here it looks really cool, and I like having that on the phone. I think this is pretty neat, it's you know flashy, you know it flashes, and it's flashy, and it really is kind of neat feature all right. So one of the things that people are probably going to be interested in with this phone because it's got a snapdragon 675 in it.

It's not an 8 Series, it's not a top-of-the-line performance phone, but the 675 is no slouch. You can play pretty much whatever you want. I downloaded three games on here. I got the de Call of Duty game. Furthermore, I got Pub, G and I got fortnight, and I've got some gameplay here you can see from all three of them.

As you can see, they run perfectly fine yeah. You may not be able to run it on the highest settings. These are the default settings. As soon as I pulled the games up Call of Duty. You can see it runs like a champ.

No problems with Call of Duty whatsoever. I was actually having a pretty good game, whether it was BOTS or not. Who knows I, don't really care, but Call of Duty was going good. Pub G, Pub G works perfectly fine. You can see, it looks pretty.

Decent here runs nice and smooth, and then, if you roll over into fortnight, fortnight was probably the weakest of all three of them. It still ran. It ran perfectly fine. I mean you can see here. I didn't really have any problems with it.

The only issue I ran into, and this may be a pre-production thing or if you go turn off the vibration, somehow anytime I would shoot the gun. It would give me like this long vibration thing, and it would just the phone would keep vibrating I'm, not sure what it was, but then it would go away, and then I would start shooting somebody, and then it would come back, so I don't know. If there's some sort of setting in there, you can turn off, but just don't be surprised if you need to disable something when that pops up, if you try to play fortnight but fortnight totally playable didn't have any problems with it. It's not as fast as if you run like a top-of-the-line thousand dollar smartphone, but it runs perfectly fine, and you can- you can play fortnight on here, so pretty cool alright. So that's all I've got on my review of the TCL 10 Pro, really liked it $449.

You can't go wrong. Is it the catch-all end-all-be-all phone of all times know, but in the mid-tier sector, with what they bring to the table with the display with the responsiveness with the camera setup, the battery life? It's pretty much everything that you could really ask for a normal consumer and in then even people who are budget conscious, or you just want something that looks great, that you can enjoy. No special frills, no state hundred nine hundred thousand dollar price point. You got it right here and yeah. It doesn't have everything in the kitchen sink I mean it doesn't have the ip68 dust and water resistance which keep it away from the water that I problem-solved.

You don't have wireless charging, which I don't really even like to use anyway. If you may, I mean some people do like wireless charging, but it's not a dealbreaker for me, especially at 450 bucks. It doesn't have banned 71, LTE I wish it did so you could get the expanded range in coverage for like T-Mobile and some emerging market areas, but for most people this is going to be a perfect phone that you're going to enjoy it's gonna. Last you're going to be able to play games on it. You're going to be able to watch your videos.

You're going to be able to use social media. Furthermore, you can use it for whatever you want. Take great pictures, and you're not missing out on anything really I mean the core functionality of this device is solid, and I like it a lot, especially if you can get your hands on the green bottle. Now. That's all I've got on my review.
