My beard is uh, I'm underneath that heat dome in western Canada here I'm experiencing heat that I didn't even know existed. I was just like what how do some people do this? Nobody here owns air conditioners. We don't even know what they are. We hear about them, but I'm kidding my mother-in-law has an air conditioner, but she won't.

Let me go over there anyway, uh, my kids are there but yeah. So the heat is terrible for your beard. If you get a beard, if you know if you know the struggles of the heat on the hairs, any kind of hair, any kind of hair um yeah boom, we got viper in the house how you're doing glad you're here chrism, Dennis Carlson coming in from Sweden, we got fit blonde tech, who else we got here, don coven, don coven's name in the chat replay if you're looking at the chat replay, his name is in green.

So thank you to our channel members, appreciate you don't coven and all the other people. Most people are used to me going uh going live in the evening, but I want to do this during the day because uh, I really had nothing else to do so.

When you talk to him, I'm kidding dawn, I'm kidding, I'm kidding in all the Vancouver Canuck fans, but seriously don't burn down my house all right. How you guys all doing it is uh.

It is tuesday, June 29th uh. It's currently 10 53 a. m. Here from me on mountain time, that means it's 9 53 a. m, on the pacific coast, but if you're on the east coast, it is currently almost one o'clock.

It is 12 53 p. m. Good afternoon to you, I'm glad you're here. So what are we talking about today? We're talking about the tcl20 pro 5g? Now uh, you guys saw the title correctly. There uh my title, my stream here it said my one-month review and some I know some of you might be saying: what do you mean that didn't have the phone just come out yesterday? Yes, it was announced yesterday and officially released all kind of jazz uh for the United States yesterday, but I'm in Canada.

You guys ever heard of Canada, big cold country, okay, except for right now, uh we got the phone about a month ago. I got it back on May 22nd um, but we didn't get the cool blue color up here. We just got the got the gray, but don't get me wrong. I, like this moon dust gray, the uh, the tcl20 pro 5g, does come in two different colors here and by the way people this band just thing here. I'll explain this thing all to you guys later on um.

Some of you guys know. What's going on I'll, explain to you but uh yeah, they sent me the moon dust gray, tcl20 pro 5g and I have to tell you. I have had so much fun with this phone like it's like. I look forward to grabbing it and just all the little different things it does and the way it interacts with, like my TCL television and whatnot, because there's an IR remote on there and things like that and uh kind of getting right in, like TCL's, got like an ecosystem going on here now, like they're, really integrate a lot of things now. TCL also uh introduced two other devices.

Yesterday, the tcl20 s and the tcl20se. I do not have those devices yet, but they will be here later on this week. Special thanks to my friends at TCL. Thank you for sending those out. I know I had to give you guys a little nudge, but I appreciate it.

I'm looking forward to basically trying out all three, but I've been using this one here, like I said for the last month, and I've really enjoyed it now. Not only have I been using it, my kids have been using it. My six and my nine-year-old have been using it. My wife has been using it and I that that's it, the only people in the house, so I got a six, and I got a nine-year-old um and, and my wife, and they've had a lot of fun with it too. There's lots of different features and things like that in there, and they've taken some really awesome photos, and things like that, so I'm going to go through that with you guys, um.

First, disclaimer, like I said before, TCL sent me out the device uh this review is not paid. This is not sponsored anything that they sent me out the device and said: hey have fun with us. Let it have fun with this. Let us know what you think just like: last year, they sent me the 10 pro. This is now the 20 pro 5g, of course, because the 5g antennas in there, I think pretty much.

Every device going forward is going to have 5g in there for you guys, okay, hopefully the music's, not too loud, for you guys, you guys, let me know, and we'll kind of get into things now. This review is going to be more of a kind of rambling thoughts off the top of my head. If you're watching the replay make sure you guys are using the time stamps down below I'm going to try to categorize this as much as possible. If you have questions along the way, everybody please put them in the live chat and if you're watching the replay just put them in the description there, and I will answer your questions and if this needs to be additional follow-up, we can definitely do that on name review, guy glad you're, here all right, people gotta make sure you're hydrating, like I said, I'm drinking the gamer stuff. Today, okay, okay, it gets a little weird with this iv line here: yeah, that's an iv I'll talk to you guys about that later.

Some of you guys know what's going on all right, where are we at, so I guess we'll go back down here, the TCL. So what I'm going to do here is I'm going to bring up you guys. I know I, like I like doing this all the time we're going to go through a quick spec comparison from last year's 10 pro and this year's okay. I think that's probably one of the best ways, because uh last year TCL introduced devices that were new for North America. They've done devices before uh they've done devices under the blackberry name uh when they were partnered with blackberry.

There, Alcatel, obviously uh, but the tcl-10 series came out last year in North America was the first TCL branded devices for themselves last year, and it's nice to see that they're continuing things as we go. I have no idea what that means: uh a p-I-c-c line for my PCA pump, but fit blonde. We will definitely talk about like it's. It's its long enough, uh, if it blogs we'll definitely talk about that. I really dig that fit blondes into the health stuff.

So I've been posting all these pictures on Twitter. I think what's going on she's like so into it, that's pretty cool anyway. Uh cue up GSM arena. Yes, you guys know. I love this website gsmarena.

com seriously, people if you need to look up specs of something. This is the place to go, and this is one of my favorite features here. The compare feature uh. You can put up the three phones here: uh. It works really great on mobile as well, but on the left here we got the TCL 20 pro 5g uh.

This is the aqua. I think they call it aquamarine. Let me just double-check here. No sorry, marine blue! This is the marine blue color that a lot of my American friends received yesterday beautiful color, uh TCL never does bore colors um and then here's last year's 10 pro. I was actually lucky enough to receive both the gray and the green from them.

So again, thank you to TCL all right people, so uh we're gonna quickly go through here, as you guys can see here, launch dates April of basically April of last year, and then we had uh um sorry June. This should actually be updated here for June should be updated uh anyway. The new 20 pro like I said this. The stats are here on the left side. Actually this is what we're going to do.

You can click this little button called differences and anything that's different will be highlighted there. We go that's a lot easier. So, as you guys can see here, this year's 20 pro is actually a little taller over last year's uh. Last year's 158 um by 72 by 92 millimeters this year, it's 164 by uh, sorry uh by 73 by 88.8 millimeters. So it's a little bigger.

It's actually thinner. Last year's was 9.2 millimeters this year, we're at the 8.8 millimeters, which is great, really great, to see uh and a little heavier at 190 grams compared to 177 grams again, not a big deal uh or, if you're into the ounces 6.24 now worth 6.70. It's a bigger phone. It's to be expected. Let me put switch over here.

You guys can see my face there. We go all right uh. Just like last year we got a hdr10 ml display here, 420 nits, I find it's quite bright and whatnot. I didn't have any issues on a bright light or anything. It is a 1080p panel, now uh one of the things uh.

Let me just see if I can stop this. One of the things I want to point out right away is- and I already saw comments like this on Twitter and a few other places yesterday- people that already published videos and whatnot, it's very important to understand what demographic and the audience that TCL is trying to serve with this. Okay, it's very easy, obviously to say: oh, it doesn't have 120 hertz screen. It doesn't have you know this or that all the maybe flagship of some from some other brands have that's, not the audience and the people that TCL is trying to serve they're, trying to give you maximum value by making sure you have the features and the things that you're going to need, or you will probably need okay um. Yes, there are some cuts here and there, and things are different from maybe some bigger flagships out there.

But that's why you get a much better price and I think it overall better value at 499 us this is a good deal. This is a very good deal. I'm just going to tell you now. That's the summary right, though, if you do, if you don't hear anything else, that's it right there um! But again you need to know the demographic okay. It's definitely.

This is definitely a mid-range value device budget device. What do you want to call it a value budget device? Those are not bad words. Those are good words, especially in today's economy and what's going on in the world uh people are gonna, be looking for stuff like this and uh there's nothing wrong with it um. Once we go somewhere through some more of the features you guys can see what this device can do. Okay, let's get back to the stats here, really quick.

We got Andy Wong coming in from Hong Kong. How are you doing glad you're here? It's a peripheral line: okay, okay, fifth, one we'll go through it. I probably I know you're itching we're getting we're getting there we're getting there all right people so uh, like I said before, is a 6.67 inch display. Last year's was 6.47, so the display is a little bigger it is, it does have curved edges. I know some people, some people like the curved edges, some people, don't like the curved edges um.

This thing has curved edges. That's that's just the bottom line. That's just that's just how they made it. I personally don't mind it. I do prefer a flat display uh, especially coming from my uh, my current android, that I use more often and the other androids that I have, but so just be aware of that.

But, of course, like I said, there's the tcl20s and set hat were also announced which uh you know I'm getting in here, and they have flat displays, and they have even better price points. So we'll get we'll get into that now. Uh, the device does uh include, what's called next vision, and this is basically TCL's proprietary software that they overlay over top of android 11, as you guys can see here, um, unlike a lot of others, you know other uh OEMs out there. I did not find next vision in into intrusive uh. It didn't lag the system.

I did not experience any sort of interference or anything like that. In fact, it added a lot to the experience it a lot of times. I was watching the screen, and I'm watching a video, and I'm going that's 1080p it. Definitely it looked like a 4k kind of thing, and I'll show you guys some video as well here as well, while we're doing this now under the hood powering. This thing is a snapdragon 750 g, okay.

So the latest uh, the latest snapdragon right now is the triple eight, and I think the triple a plus is coming out soon from what I've been reading um. But this. So this again is a mid-range uh powering uh midrange chip. That's powering the device underneath there, okay, arena 619 last year, was six one six one. Two last year they used the snapdragon 675.

Now, as for storage, you're going to get a whopping 256gb. That's it that's the only configuration that it comes in 256 gigabytes. That's all! That's all you're going to get and, of course you can expand that if you want to six gigabytes of ram last year, we also had six gigabytes around, but it started at 128 gigabytes, so, basically uh. You know TCL decided to kind of double up the storage there and way we go appreciate them for that. Now, let's talk about the camera, and then I'm gonna we're gonna.

Probably get into some camera samples shortly after this as well, last year's camera had a main shooter of 64 megapixels. This year, they've gone down to 48. Um, I'm going to assume I never. I never checked with this with the TCL, but I'm going to assume uh that they made improvements with the software. I feel as the software the uh the processing, what not with the camera, is a lot better than last year, uh, but also as a cost-saving measure as well and also does slim out the device uh for myself.

Personally, when I compare my photos from last year's 10 pro to this year's 20 pro 5g from TCL uh, the quality is there. I mean if you're posting just to social media. If you're posting you know Facebook, Twitter Instagram, I think you're going to be perfectly fine uh. You know if you need a higher. If you know if you need the megapixels right, um you're going to be fine.

With this you're going to be perfectly fine and you guys are gonna, see the pictures too they're punchy, and they're, and they're, vibrant, and they're they're they're very natural. I would say natural and then a little kind of step-up depending on what it is. Okay, really, really good uh. You got a 16 megapixel ultra-wide bolt the same as last year. This year has a 2 megapixel macro and last year's had a 5 megapixel macro.

I know some people make fun of the macro lenses like that, but if you use it properly, it's really cool. I took some really cool pictures of some crayons and some flowers like up close with the macro lens, and they're cool pictures, like I, you know, sent them to my mom, and she loved them, and everything like that. So I mean you can have some fun with that kind of stuff uh. But last year's macro was five. This year's two not a big deal uh and that's for a video 4k at 30 100, an uh 3060 um.

You got an electronic image stabilization, all that jazz all the stuff. In there now the selfie camera last year came at 24 megapixels this year is at 32, not an uh. I mean it's, it's a bump right uh, and I think the quality is still there. Video is roughly the same as last year, except they've, also added on 4k 30. , okay.

Now, in addition, you know you got, you got your Wi-Fi all your kind of stuff, there's an IR blaster, so you can change the channels on your TV or whatever your devices, your audio equipment within your home and I'm going to show you guys from its hard to show from the overhead cam right here. Oh right, can you guys see this? I don't know if you guys can see this I'll show you guys up close later on, but there's a headphone jack people there's a headphone jack, okay, so there's a headphone jack. So if you crave a headphone jack, this is where you want to go: okay, headphone jack uh uses an in-display fingerprint sensor or facial recognition, all that kind of stuff, and, of course, like I told you before, the two colors are moon dust gray and marine blue okay gorgeous colors. So there's your basic spec breakdown and differences between last year's, respectable. In my, in my opinion, that very respectable bump up in specs and what you would expect from a next generation device from last year, you know we're seeing improvements physically and whatever a little bigger this and that so uh.

One of the things I do want to point out. Look at the look at the back of the device. Look at the back of the TCL 20 pro 5g. It is completely flat like there's no camera hump here at all. Let me just turn it here, for you guys for a little.

You guys see that it's completely flat. You see that no camera hump no camera hump, so I'm going to bring you guys back over this camera here. Uh, like I was saying before we got a headphone jack boom right there, uh USB type c TCL is including the power adapter and the plug-in or sorry in the cable in the box. So when you buy the phone or when you get the phone through your carrier, whatever it is, you're going to get the phone you're going to get your cable. You're charging, cable and you're also going to get the power.

Adapter you're going to be able to charge this without having to look for another power. Adapter yes, TCL is including the power adapter. It's an 18 watt power adapter, I believe wireless charging. It does include wireless charging, which is quite a nice feature. That's something you don't normally see in budget or value devices.

Normally, that's something that's cut out, but on their high end here on the 245 5g wireless charging. All right, let me take you guys through what it's like to use this thing, I'm just gonna. I need to position my mic down here a little all right. Let me just move my keyboard out of the way, all right, so taking a look around on the left side. Here there is an uh, basically uh.

You can make what whatever you want of this key to launch your camera. You can use this key to launch an app it's completely up to you, okay um! Furthermore, you can make it launch, google, whatever you want on the right hand, side, you got your! Furthermore, you got your rocker right here. I apologize it's not in focus here uh. You got your rocker right here for your uh, your volume and then, of course, you got your uh your power key right here: okay USB on the bottom, as you guys can see again, it's probably not the best view pretty basic uh layout there and of course you got an uh. You've got a selfie camera up here.

Give me a moment here: I'm gonna, clear away some personal stuff here all right, so I'm going to show you guys, I'm going to show you guys what the video looks like here: real, quick, we're going to go into YouTube and uh. Isn't that Trippe? That's this stream, so we're just going to lay that down there. You know I'll bring a whoop bring myself. I'm going to do a little couple. There we go a couple switches uh, the video looks great uh.

It used, like I said, uses the next vision software there to kind of update things and uh kind of up, convert and whatnot. So you know I enjoyed using it. My only takeaway from watching media on here is. The speakers are still not are still not the still, not the best uh they're. Okay, the speakers are okay, they're, not bad they're.

Just you know: they're they're, they're, okay, um I've been using it like. I said for weeks and weeks and weeks and like I said for the last month and I can still watch media and get through what not I would. I would like to see an improvement there on the speakers and whatnot. That's one of the just one of the things to be aware of so, if you're like an if you're a media hog, if you're just you know that that's that's important for you well, first, first, I guess my suggestion would be you know, use headphones or wireless earbuds or something like that. But uh just be aware that the speaker's not the greatest okay, and it only fires out of one side.

Okay, you only got one side. Speakers there. Okay, all right. Let's continue around here, I'm going to take you guys top down here again, here's your four camera set up there. You got your macro, your ultra-wide! Your wide and then, of course, your main shooter there good stuff right there, let's go into uh, let's go into the menu here now you can unlock it.

Using your face and uh you can use uh, pin or whatever, or you can use the in-display fingerprint sensor. You guys can see right there uh you don't necessarily have to wake it up, but I'm going to I'm going to go ahead and push that and go ahead and unlock. It is an optical okay. So pretty simple here you got uh you've got your Google nail information there. You can use whatever go ahead and work swipe up here.

Now you can organize this by category. You can organize your tray. However, you want pretty simple standard stuff there from uh from an android device or from a TCL device here menus and everything are all there to use. I can't find something go ahead and search for it very easy to navigate and everything, as you guys can see here, it's very snappy, uh and whatnot. Now it is like I said, 120, sorry.

This is a six excuse me. This is a 60 hertz screen um, but I don't I don't mind it. I find it smooth and whatnot no problems at all. Okay, so I hope that gives you guys an idea of what the UI layout is like and whatnot. If you're used to android you'll be used to this and, like I said, the next vision overlay that they put on here, does not interfere at all okay, it does not.

I never found it intrusive. It's not like it's not like in the past where people would complain about. You know uh somebody else's layer of software on top of android, and you know it would interfere with things that I never got that with this never happened. Okay. Now, let's go to the chat here.

Let's go to the live chat here and uh. Let's see what you guys are saying: FIFA says: 4.99 for a phone is amazing deal yeah and, depending on your carrier, you might actually be able to get it for free, so definitely check with your car uh. With your carrier here don Colvin says my wife is due for a new phone curious about this. One note 20, ultra and s21 plus are occurred front. What runners? Those are great choices don, but I would definitely you know, say get in there and maybe get your hand on one of these and see how you like it.

I would again the tldr of all this is. I would 100 recommend uh the TCL 20 pro 5g just know that there's a few drawbacks whatever, but they're, not they're, not they're, not even red flags. It's just understood that this device fits a certain demographic. That wants a certain price point and that's what TCL does so well. The screen is beautiful everything about it's, nice and lightweight.

It's fun. To use it's snappy. It's got a huge storage there with 256 gigabytes. Okay, chrism loves the curvy phones. I have a feeling that the yeah anyway, it's a pg, show we'll keep on going here.

Macro lens, mattress, sensors macro lenses seem very gimmicky. In my opinion, you can get some cool Instagram photos, uh, sorry post, but for the most people, that's about it. Am I wrong? Well, okay, I'd say I'm not going to say you're wrong Chris. I agree with what you're saying um like am. I am I running around the house all the time and whatever, when am I out about taking macro photos? No, but it's kind of cool to have that when you're in a situation where you can take macro photos, okay, we got BG tech, life, nice device and Chris keep that we'll keep Chris's comment in mind, because I'm going to show you guys some camera samples here: okay, so some camera uh some photos, we've taken with the TCL 20 pro that I took that my wife took that my kids took okay, we all had fun with this device over the last month, um on neighborhoods.

Is it going to be available with carriers? I do not have carrier information, yet on name review guy, I would suggest you stay tuned to the TCL uh Twitter accounts and also follow me on the socials I'll be retweeting that stuff out. Okay, as soon as I have confirmation and may have already been announced- I don't know um I'll, definitely get that information out to you guys. How would it stack up against the Pixel 4a 5g 499? Also, I don't personally have the Pixel 4a 5g. I do have the Pixel 4a and to be perfectly honest, this is completely honest. I would be happy with either device.

If that's you know, I'm not trying to like not pick a side, but I would be happy with either device honestly, you know think about the pixel you're getting a pure device with no overlays. Really it's just pure android, with the TCL you getting some extra bells and whistles whatever one of my favorite features of this device is the IR blaster. I have a TCL television. Yes, I bought another one. After my other one broke, I like the TV so much.

I bought it twice um, but you know if I can't find the controller I can use this to change things in an interface interface, and it's like that so with the Roku and everything so um. But honestly, if it mean extra features like that on, the device are always nice to have, but if I was is I was given either or I would be happy with it, in fact, I'm about this close to taking the sim out of my s21 plus and just going straight to the TCL 20 pro 5g, because I just love how much is offered in here and how slim it is and how much fun I've had with it. It has more storage than my s21 plus um, so I'm pretty close to just getting rid of getting rid of my Samsung, nothing against Samsung and then just going straight with the TCL. I really am. I am because I've been I've enjoyed that much uh mac 1164 by the way good to see you here, waiting to see Verizon, uh, uh compatibility incoming uh then get it for uh visible for family members still on an old busted, six-year-old phone gotta get on that dude.

Let us know how let me know how it works, all right, people I know I'm talking faster, but I'm just trying to get to the points here for you. Let's look at some of the photos that I took that my wife took that my kids took with the TCL 20 pro 5g. We're going to bring up our window here, all right, camera samples. So now, of course, these top ones were taken uh. Now this uh tag this stamp in the corner.

Here you guys see this is tcl20 pro 5g. You can remove that by default. It's not turned on okay, but I purposely turned it on so that I could easier organize my photos, because I do everything through Google photos. Okay, so that's that's uh that can be removed, no problem, nope. Let me just yeah there's we want to start so.

My kids were coloring. We were grand and grandpa's um. We were coloring outside being safe and uh. So I snapped some pictures here, the crayons. So this is just using the regular lens here and then this is up close with the macro lens.

You can see kind of like the scrapings here I apologize about the lighting, there's just some harsh light in their outside in the garage um, and you can see little bits here and there, and you see you get the little details, everything that this is the macro lens right here again, the macro lens you can see like look at this little piece coming off the crayon here, like it's picking up everything like I can even see this with my naked eye, um. So that's kind of cool. I mean that's just an example. With the macro lens, I thought it was a lot of fun because there's color in there anything like that, as you guys can see with the colors very natural. Nothing here has been processed.

I do not edit my photos, you guys know that, and if I do, I always state. If I have, or I'll put it in my post, that I have uh, you know edited in photos. Okay get another macro, photo there dawn real quick here says. Would you say your number? One drawback is a speaker, yeah don, I would say for me. It is because I consume so much through my phone, I'm watching people's videos, I'm on Twitter spaces.

I'm doing you know that kind of stuff, and so good audio out of the device is essential for me. I don't carry around headphones. Furthermore, I don't typically use earbuds a lot, so good speakers on a device are essential for me and, like I said these speakers uh the speakers on the 20 pro 5g here are: okay um. I'm not going to call them bad they're, just okay, I mean there definitely could be an improvement there, but I also understand because of the price point the device is coming out because of the demographic they're trying to serve hey. We got digital slang.

I'm going to give you one of these. Oh, yeah glad you're here bud all right, we're just going through some photos here, taken with the 20 pro 5g, the tcl20 pro 5g. Now I only took a couple selfies there's my daughter and I now this was really dark lighting in the house. It wasn't the best uh, the selfie camera. It still struggles a little.

That's probably one of the other things I want to point out as well. So, if you're a big selfie person, what not just know that you need light. You need some really really perfect light, so you're that guy at the restaurant, not all the time, my friend, no, no, no, no. I hate people that play and watch videos out loud in public drives me nuts anyway, so uh yeah took us off there with my daughter, my daughter, Jenna there and my big old beard. I think that's before I cut it down a little.

Uh we have a beautiful lilac bush lilac tree in the backyard lilacs um. Is it lilac hold on? No? What is this? Is this lilac? I can't remember anyway, it smells incredible. I have the most. Furthermore, I have the worst allergies, but I love smelling this tree again took some just some quick photos. There keep on going here got some wider ones.

This is just looking up at the sky. You can see that you can see you guys can see the sun in behind here. Those purples and greens, beautiful, beautiful okay, can you keep on going through here? I tried out the portrait mode, which worked out really, really well. This is the portrait mode on it. So you can see the background is kind of blurred or whatever, and you got the mic.

My beautiful sure super 55 deluxe here microphones. You know it's the one I'm talking on right now, um. I thought that worked out really well, we got d him in the background he was doing his members live stream, so I thought it. It separated things quite well here with the portrait mode. Very well done, so I gave the phone to my kids during our road trip about the ban ff a couple of weeks ago, and I said to my son here: just take pictures whatever just play with it.

Just do stuff, and so my son's got this thing where he likes to try to mimic me with the eyebrows. He desperately wants to start a YouTube channel, so we might be doing something I don't know so. My son and daughter playing around the back seat there with the TCL 20 pro 5g. That's the selfie camera again, and this is we're outside. So there's more natural, lightning thing and, as you guys can see here compared to the photo, I showed you before the stuffy photo.

I showed you before. This is a heck of a lot better, a heck of a lot better right. This is his view for the back. Okay, as you guys can see here, driving into the mountains there a little overexposed, obviously because the sun's coming in everything, but I think it still did a good job separating out the mountains and the green. It seems very natural uh.

You can actually zoom in on. Oh, you can't, you can't quite tell, but I know it says the wildflowers. We listen to wildflowers one headlight. You guys know that song, it's a good song, um, so good job there. My wife took this picture of some bikers in front of us again we were in a moving vehicle going around.

I believe around 60 kilometers, an hour which I believe translates to about 45 miles per hour, so we're going about 60 kilometers an hour which is about 45 miles per hour. Uh down this uh highway 1a, it's uh, the beau valley parkway, and it's just a mountain drive kind of thing and then there's like a little shop and chalets and castle mountain at the end, and everything like that. So she took that from the passenger seat moving vehicle uh again beautiful. I mean it's all very natural. You guys you can kind of see the line right here from the dirty windshield.

She didn't try to block that out. Okay, uh, here's another one. This is probably my favorite photo of all the photos that have been taken with this again. My wife took this. Is that same mountain drive? This just gives you a whole idea of what it's like to drive through the Canadian Rockies.

Okay, a narrow road. I mean a deer or a moose or bear could come jumping out anytime, even at Sasquatch. Sometimes the Sasquatch has come out of nowhere um, and then you know you get the skies a little overcast that day got the mountains in the background, everything's, nice and green yeah. I love. I love road tripping people, you guys know I love going out there fit blonde says I'm really impressed with the camera on the tcl20 pro 5g.

Thank you, of course, now this right here. This is the alt. I think this is the ultra one, no yeah. This is the ultra-wide at the end of that road uh, where we stopped at the of what's called castle mountain chalets and there's a little gas station, a little ice cream and there are treats and everything like that. But this right here is uh castle mountain of course, because it looks like a castle right.

This is the ultra-wide and of course, then she went in with the regular, and it was really overcast. You can see here um. I did take a similar photo with one of my other phones, and it did a little better with the job with the clouds, but I mean I think this is more now. I think this is probably a better photo right here at wide at the ultra-wide and then here's the uh, the zoomed in here uh Alan Mobley, says here by the way. Welcome I'm glad you're here did TCL mention how long the phone will be supported with updates.

I will find out for you, Alan um, I think you're following me on Twitter. I will find out from my TCL contact. Furthermore, I don't recall them bringing it up in the presentation and I don't recall that information being in the reviewer guide here Chris Sam says I'm not a photographer, but I can tell the difference between the picture and a hundred thousand. Our phone YouTube professional might play a part to play absolutely so um. As you guys know, Twitter doesn't compress as much as before they're actually not cutting off the photos anymore.

So I've posted many of these photos on my Twitter, and I've also posted them on Instagram if you prefer looking through Instagram. So if you're, not following me on Instagram at ZAC talks tech um, many of these photos are also posted as well. Okay, let's keep on going uh on the way home we pulled over now. This is sulfur mountain. On the right hand, side.

This is mount bundle. This one that's kind of got this weird peak here, and I really dig this photo. I know it's not straight everybody um it. It is is definitely like. I.

I don't know why it tilted the phone, especially considering there's a guy, a gyroscope in there that actually tells you like how to tilt it or whatever um and like if you're straight, but anyway, I really like how the blues came out here. The mountains, it's just this is just like. If you were there like's. No, this is not over saturated, like some phones do and whatnot everything just looks really, really good um. When you go to the ultra-wide, though look at the blues, though so here's the blue on the regular in the sky, and then this is the ultra-wide.

This blue does change up a little, and you can see it does saturate a little. You can see a little ground squirrel right here. So just be aware of that again, you can adjust things. You can use a manual mode on the camera if you want to, but I don't think anybody's going to complain if you ever post this picture on social media took a selfie just before tonight's show or just before today's show. Yes, my daughter made me a crown because she says I'm a king, so there you go, you guys can't tell her otherwise, because you'll make her cry so there you go um.

I did receive an update yesterday for a new version of next vision. There you guys can see improvements whatever, so they're already sending through updates and whatnot getting things updated on the TCL device and of course I took that photo with a different camera, but uh yeah. So there you guys go. There are some camera samples. I hope that gives you guys.

A good idea of you know what to expect um. If you were to you know to grab this phone now uh someone's saying here in the chat. Sorry there it is uh Kristin says: shutter lag. I didn't experience any uh, whether it was dark settings or regular um. You know lighting settings outside I never experienced as soon as I took as soon as I pushed the button boom took, the picture I never experienced, any shutter lag, there's only one brand.

I sometimes experience that with. I think you guys know who so uh don coven's asking the important questions here. What about the beard? It's still great okay, so I have the die upstairs we're going to we're going to we're going to. I will, I'll die this. I promise you guys.

Okay, we'll probably do it during a live. Show we'll probably do a lot during a live, show: okay, so um to kind of summarize things if I haven't, if I haven't said before, um absolutely would recommend the tcl20 pro 5g, especially at 4.99. You can probably get it for cheaper if not free through a carrier plan. Make sure you check with your carriers just be aware that there's a few caveats here and there uh- you know it's not the greatest speaker. It only fires out of one side um, you know the selfie camera.

You know it does give you all day battery. Let me go back here. I don't think I quoted you guys. The battery size battery is a 4 500, William battery, so 4 500 ml battery and fast charging at 18 watt and fast charging wirelessly at 15 watts, so 15 watt wireless fast charging plug-in 18 watt and of course they give you that charger. Okay, that's that's true! That's really great, like you see flagships that usually come with that.

So that's perfect and with the 4 500 William battery, I was getting all day. I was never. I was never at a loss or anything like that. Um I could leave the house all day with this was never would have lost now um. I really like the finish on the back here.

It's kind of a matte finish. Then you got this kind of glossy strip here, but it's completely flat. I have not found any cases yet for this, yet I'm still looking around. I did see some manufacturers pop up today. So if I bring in any cases for this I'll show you guys I'll do a quick, we'll include in a stream and whatnot, but that's that's it.

I really dig this device. I love this color. Furthermore, I really dig the uh, the marine blue, that uh my American friends got I'm totally jealous of that um and yeah. There 's's my review of the TCL 20 bros as the live stream is called here. You know one month later.

Is it worth it? Does it keep its value? Absolutely it. Does it really does so there you go. That's a silver bullet no die there. You go all right people so uh. This is the part of the show where we're going to get into some q.

An if you guys have any questions uh anything you want to talk about. We could do that now. I told you I was going to talk to you guys about this right here. So, underneath this bandage, I actually have an iv intravenous going in here and you guys can see here's the line and uh, and this is the pump that I'm hooked up to, and I know some of you can be like what's going on here, uh I'm being dosed, or I was being dosed, I'm between doses right now, um of some antibiotics, because I had a had to go to the hospital. I had a really gnarly cyst on my back like the size of a grapefruit.

If you've ever watched, Dr pimple popper, you know what I'm talking about it ruptured internally inside me rather than going out. So basically I was being poisoned. That's why I'm on these an early antibiotic uh at least until 9am tomorrow I have a fall tomorrow, and I'll probably have to turn I'm turning the pump and whatnot. So I'm, okay. I appreciate everybody's um messages, the emails, the phone calls the tweets everything to see how I'm doing, because I've been really transparent.

I've been showing you guys on Twitter, what's going on. Thank you so much it really. It means a lot that so many people are concerned. You don't have it, I'm not going to get you a heck for doing it. You didn't have to, but thank you so much.

It really means a lot. I'm okay, you guys! I can still do everything. Furthermore, I'm doing. Furthermore, I just have to carry this thing around. You know it's no big deal and uh.

You know this thing will be off by tomorrow and back to normal right now. I have this hole in my back, like literally like it's just stuffed full of gauze, so I'm draining right now. It's its gross! I'm not gonna, show you guys my back um, but that's where we're at right. So, like oh yeah yeah, I mean honestly, yes, science, it's pretty cool that we can do this kind of stuff um. So I'm okay.

I appreciate everybody's concern. Everything like that um don't mess with cysts man go to don't try to squeeze them like. I did go to your doctor, please! Okay! Oh man, Alan I'm, good man! I appreciate Ben, oh man. He says, oh man, praying for your quick recovery. I'll be good 100 tomorrow, guys, you guys will see digital slang.

Thank you, sir appreciate it. I really appreciate that so anyway, people yeah. Does anybody have any more questions or comments anything about the tcl20 pro 5g, like I said, I'm going to be getting the 20s and the 20s e, hopefully later this week I know there's a shipment on the way, and so I'll present those two as well. Now the TCL 20 pro 5g is obviously on their higher end at 4.99, the 20s and the 20se are even I hate using the word cheaper, but they're like half the price in like 125 or something like 150 TCL is out of their mind. So I can't wait to try those devices because they're even more value, driven, it's going to be its crazy.

It's crisp! It's crazy, yeah cis are not funny or not fun. Like I said this, one started out like the size of my pinky, and I was stupid. I squeezed it, and then it blew up to the size of a grapefruit anyway. I don't want to gross you guys out anymore. It's its pretty gnarly stuff.

Anyway. I appreciate the 10 or 12 of you that have been here today uh. I know I don't normally do streams in the morning or afternoon like this um. Furthermore, I don't know if this would be an ongoing thing, as a lot of you guys know going into July we're going to have a more consistent schedule here. Furthermore, I want to stream at least twice a week, I'm going to aim for three times, probably like a Monday Wednesday, Friday kind of thing it'll always be in the evening because it works out best for most of my audience.

Furthermore, I appreciate all of you and uh. You know I'm looking forward to a fun July and a more uh cohesive, a more organized kind of show going forward and whatnot. Oh, did you hear anything about the fast rate, so it is an 18. So Chris it comes with an 18 watt, fast charger, so the charging block and the cable, and it has 15 watt wireless charging, so 18 watt plug-in 15 watt wireless. Of course, you can use any fast charger as long as it's 18 watt or higher you're gonna, get fast charging, okay or 15 watt wireless hope that uh hope that makes sense, isn't ironic.

The song for the intro here just started in the background, and we're closing things out anyway. Folks, I appreciate you guys all being here, we're going to close things out right now. Uh, you guys all have a wonderful day make sure you guys are following me on the twitters and the Instagram and all that kind of stuff. I think I have a Facebook page check that out as well, and I'll. Let you guys go.

I'm going to get back to playing with the TCL 20 pro 5g here. I've had a lot of fun with this again, thanks again to TCL for sending that out. Furthermore, I appreciate you guys all have a good one. Take care cheers you.
