TCL 10 SE Unboxing & Review By HardReset.Info

Welcome- everyone, let me say- TCL, 10 SE, and today I'll curve, unboxing along with a brief overview of the device itself, so popping it open straight up about now I'll mention the device I already did set it up. So we don't have to go through that um yeah. Now the box, nothing in here on the top part, then we got a phone itself. So let me just drop it out of the foil, set it to the side and come back to it in a second, then here we got a casing for the phone, so I dropped that over here. I got paperwork that no one really cares about. They don't get a charging cable um, so it's type a to type c, okay, so that's nice, and apart from that, we also got a charger.

So that is, I believe, at 10 watts: yep, that's a 10 watt charger, as you can see hopefully over here. It's nothing really special and then also we get headphones. So, as you can see, there's a some buds now they use the normal uh normal plug the 3.5 millimeter one. That's because the phone itself has a headphone jack, as you can see over here, so you just leave the casing here and drop that back into the case and drop it straight to the side where it won't be annoying anybody and from there, let's move to the phone itself, so unlocking it you presented with this fairly big 6.5 inch display a semi-low resolution of 720 by 1600, honestly um. I don't really see pixelating uh at this distance um.

I bet. If you start pixel peeping, you probably will consider. It is a fairly big display with a just a HD resolution, and it puts it at 269 pixels per inch. So that is on like a bit of a lower side, and it also has an 83.3 screen to body ratio, so not the best but still fairly good. Honestly, the biggest bezel here is at the bottom, as you can see, so that thing is fairly big, but at the top you would actually see where the top starts, but it basically begins uh right a little above the uh icons right here, and you do have a teardrop notch.

Now, if I actually open, maybe something that is white or if I disable, maybe dark mode. Oh, there we go. Oh, so I can see the uh the notch on the top, so um, apart from that, it's just an lcd, nothing really special about it. Then moving on to the internals uh, the device has a helium. P22 uh also comes in only one variant, so 128 gigabytes built in storage and four gigabytes of ram plus expandable storage via SD card.

So that is also really nice. It has a 4 000 William hour built-in battery non-removable, obviously with an as I mentioned before, 10 watt charger, and also when it comes down to camera setup at the front and this knot we have an 8 megapixel wide sensor and at the back I suppose, uh another back. We have triple camera setup. We have a 48 megapixel wide 5 megapixel ultra-wide and 2 megapixel depth. Now in reality, you only have 2 sensors that 2 megapixel depth sensor is not really used for anything and honestly, if you cover it up tape it up, you won't see any difference in photos and with that you can shoot at 1080p, 30 frames, uh, no 60, obviously here um, so yeah um and also, as you can see at the back.

We have a fingerprint sensor on this uh. I'm not exactly sure it looks like a glass back, but it might be completely wrong. It could be plastic uh, although it does feel fairly nice uh. It has this uh semi-matte finish. So it's not it's not necessarily smooth or glassy.

It has a more of a matte finish but fairly minimal, and it does look really nice with this reflection, as you can see as well. So it has this kind of like a dark parish rainbows reflect to it or RGB, that's kind of yeah, so um it looks really nice at the back and the front isn't also too bad either. Now the performance of the phone, as you can see, has nothing special here, but then at 170 dollars somewhere around this price range. I wouldn't be expecting much. This is basically a budget device and what about the device? Honestly, it fills every need that you probably would have uh thing that I really appreciate that they decided to add is NFC right here, as you can see, it's even enabled by default, so you will be able to play with this phone.

If you choose to go to the store and use this as your card, you are totally free to do so um, and it even comes with a Google Pay installed on here and now, as you can nope, I didn't want you up. As you can also see. There is a couple different bloatware installed on here, so we have Facebook next vision. I think this is just a is built in for the quality of like in control of colors and stuff, like that optimize and some other support, centers file share and some additional stuff so see, actually how much we can remove of this so uninstall. So now this we can uninstall file share, so it looks like we're free to uninstall most of this stuff.

So that's actually nice uh primary. Let's see if we can uninstall Facebook because who wants that at 2020 and yes, we can so bye, bye, Facebook, no more stacking here, um, so yeah uh, basically um the specs of the device aren't anything impressive, but because the price tag is also uh super low um. Honestly, this device seems to run fine for the price that you pay, and I have really no problems with it. Now we can do a quick uh photo test. I guess um just drop a pen here now I won't be expecting anything special here.

I do understand that this is device marketed as a budget, one so expecting some super high quality photos here is just unreasonable, but we can just quickly capture a couple photos: let's go to an ultrawide as well, so there's the two photos uh, and I see the sharpness of it and resolution. Furthermore, I mean this is actually a 48 megapixel sensor. So at the resolution here should be fairly decent. As you can see, it actually did a perfect job in capturing the photo uh considering and does capture, basically everything that is written on here. So I can't complain about that um.

Obviously, it will probably struggle in terms of some kind of lighting, weird lighting conditions, um, and that is most likely something that you will experience just throughout using it, but in just sharpness quality uh it looks okay uh. This is not very well lit room. I would also add, so it might look a little weird on the photo. But honestly, I am satisfied with this photo if I would be paying 170 dollars and capturing um. This photos, I'm I'm okay with it, then also there was the ultra-wide and now this kind of falls off as you can see.

So this is a completely different sensor that has a 5 megapixel instead of 48, and you can clearly see the difference in quality right here, so you can barely read out some stuff, so I can see 0.7, I think ball, but again going back to this one yeah. You can read everything clearly on here, so the ultrawide. I would probably not use it at all. It seems to just do a poor job um so yeah. Now when it comes down to zone because it apparently does have a four times zoom again, it does seem to do a good job but zooming in and keeping the quality.

As you can see, uh, although I did see some sharpening here, so it does use some kind of artificial, optimization for the photo, but still anyway um. This is way better than I would actually expect for a hundred and seventy dollar device so thumbs up for the at least the back camera uh, at least the 48 megapixel one. I assume that the depth camera has nothing to do with it and covering it might be a little hard, considering it's right in the middle, so I'll be um kind of covering other sensors. Let me quickly check, though, so I am right now, the main one which seems to be the side, so let me quickly wipe it and cover the two other sensors. I guess right there.

So clearly you can see I'm covering them without actually moving my finger. I'm covering- and let's just see which point am I gonna: okay, now I'm starting to get on the camera, so that is good enough. Okay. So let's compare this. Let's actually try that again! Oh, that's the problem.

It's actually kitchen uh focus on the screen instead of the instead of the pen. So let's fix that up and there we go yep so with it covered, as you can see, there's still no difference in it. Ah, the quality still retains uh so yeah, and that was covered and smudged up as well. So keep that in mind. Um, like I said, the five at the 2 megapixel depth sensor, does literally nothing for the camera uh and the 5 megapixel ultrawide honestly, is also garbage, so I wouldn't really use it considering it loses way too much quality to be worth using it at all.

So in reality, you kind of get a front sensor and signal sensor on the back and using it using the other ones. I would strongly just not really suggest using those it's their just bad now. Also, you can quickly look at the uh font selfie. So make it a little more annoying for the camera, so this is in a fairly decently lit conditions. As you can see, it does some facial smoothing a little, but honestly, I'm not complaining and, for instance, the grain of the microphone this pop filter.

Whatever you want to call it, I did capture the individual hair fairly. Well, as you can see, if you start zooming, you start getting grainy grain, but on this kind of zoom and lighting conditions, this is acceptable, and what is kind of weird is this green light right here? There is nothing like that here, not exactly sure what it captured. I'm not sure what that is. Actually so, it looks like the light just bounces off of the sensor and causes some problem. As you can see uh there is this weird lighting effect right here.

If I cover it up, it looks okay. Actually, so again it came out better um, although it looks mediocre I would say so. The front selfie camera is okay. It's mediocre. It has some kind of weird problem um, which I haven't seen on any other device, or the light just causes some kind of weird aberration on the photos, but um oh well, um.

I guess, like I said some costs had to be cut here, so that's probably one of them um, so yeah, but other than that 470 on 7d dollars. This is a fairly decent device and I would say I would probably recommend you to get a better device than this uh. For instance, their uh TCL, 10 plus, seems to be a better choice. In my opinion, I would prefer to add about 130 dollars more which well, it's close to basically double the price and have just a better device in general, with more features at least more features that I'm looking for, and this is a comparison and appearance wise, because I don't have it next to me right now. This is the box uh, so kind of how the phone looks like it's a curved display here with a little better camera setup under display fingerprint sensor and just a bit better, looking design, bigger battery, better processor um.

So that's kind of what I would be going for that's my opinion matters here, but if you're looking for something cheap at this price range, I would have to say it's a decent device here.
