TCL 20 SE Front Camera Test LIVE Stream By BTech Reviews

Dave so um just be aware: I am live-streaming directly from the YouTube app, so I will be tapping the screen here and doing things that look a little weird. Let's go ahead and pop me. So if you guys are watching this uh, I am live-streaming on the uh TCL 20se, and I'm getting notifications that I'm live-streaming, which is cool. I guess well. At least that sounds what's up Daniel Darnell how's it going man thanks for joining in, don't forget to smash the like button. By the way and again we are here in the new tech studios aka my room, I mean basically it looks almost the same pretty much, but for the most part, if you guys follow my YouTube channel, you guys know that I ended up moving back home uh from my actual office space, so um, you know I pretty much dedicated a small corner of my room to being like a little.

You know workshop or, like you know, I guess unboxing area for my channel. So hopefully you guys like that. If you don't well, then sorry, you know things happen, I guess but anyways. Hopefully, everyone's doing good um, it's Friday, night July, the 9th- I think I'm going to get my calendar over here, yeah July, the 9th I'm over here. Looking at my Mac, which again, if you guys are wondering about my setup all right here, I have my m1 much mini uh connected to it is an old school IPS lg monitor that I had for a couple of years actually, but it actually belonged to.

I think my ex-girlfriend, and she didn't end up staying with it uh and when we moved out, I ended up getting home with the monitor so anyways uh that that was sitting in storage for a couple of years and I actually pulled it out, and I've been using it actually for like the last year or so, but anyways, hopefully, everyone's doing good again just wanted to do this live stream. I'm hoping that the connection looks okay for you guys. Let me know if it looks okay, if it doesn't. Let me know also. I definitely want your feedback uh.

How does it sound as well? You know I'm definitely interested to see how uh this sounds as well. You know what I mean where the hell you have been. Where have I been Daniel, Darnell lol, uh I've been here, I mean you know, I haven't really been live-streaming a lot? I don't do a lot of live streams. I haven't recently, I guess due to uh, you know my job and everything like that. For the most part, though, it's been pretty hectic, you know my boss had uh has to be out.

You know what I mean for a specific reason hold on. Let me exit there, let's go ahead and share this on Twitter. Really quick looks like I am live here, really quick. Let me go ahead and mute myself. So I'm over here sharing this live on Twitter.

I love it. I'm smashing my own like button by the way, guys I just smashed the like button, so don't forget to smash the like button Daniel by the way, if you haven't already there, you go, I appreciate it. So let me go ahead and share this on Twitter uh just so we can get this going. Also, um see if my twitter followers see that I'm live again. It's Friday.

I know people are busy. I know people are doing things so let me go ahead and exit that what the do not know why it was doing twitter there you go so front facing camera test. Obviously, let's check that out. It looks like we have a few more people joining in, including myself. I guess you guys are just joining in, don't forget to smash the like button, hopefully everyone's doing good by the way, all right, I'm going to go ahead and exit out there, so that we can get true viewership over here.

So I'll just leave my I'll just leave my twitter thing in the background there. So for those of you who don't follow me on Twitter, it is at BT underscore reviews uh by the way, so so so far again having this phone for a couple of days again, I want to give, and again I'm mounting this on my tripod. First, I want to give TCL again a huge shout out for sending me this device all of last year. They actually pretty much. They sent me every single device that they put out last year.

So um very appreciative of that. I think that you know you don't I don't hear a lot of techs, YouTubers thinking a lot of the sponsors or whoever that are sending them stuff. You know what I mean so again, big shout out to brad and big shout out to CCL for sending me the 20se, which I am streaming on currently um. You know last year they sent me the 10 pro, which was at their at the time they're pretty much their flagship device. Then, maybe a month later, they went ahead and sent me the 10 l, which was their little of a mid-range device um and then, after that, they decided to send me the TCL 10 5g UW, which is the first 5g uh phone that they had on Verizon so uh.

Fortunately, the 5g version of that phone didn't was very good. It was like you know, especially in my area. Apparently you know. Obviously, if you have millimeter wave or ultra-wide band connection, you'll get like download speeds up to like a thousand megs and up. You know what I mean in this case in my area.

You know Verizon's nationwide 5g was probably like the best that I got out of it was maybe like 60 downloads and maybe like 10 uploads. Furthermore, you know what I mean so, not very good, even though it said 5g on the actual phone, and I'm not knocking on the phone. It's the service, and it's the area where I live. It's the service in my area. Furthermore, it's not very good, so I just wanted to kind of mention that, but so far you know I've been using this phone uh for a couple of days, and you know it does remind me a lot about of the know the TCL 10l at least it's screen size.

So the screen size is relatively, relatively huge. You can't really get around it. It's not an uh, it's not an OLED panel. It's not a know, it's not a super fancy. You know it's a 720p display.

It looks okay, you know it doesn't look like it doesn't. Look like um, it doesn't look bad. I was going to say it doesn't look bad, but for the most part you know uh, you know it is what it is. TCL has pretty good screen technology. You know they incorporate their next vision in their screen.

So even if it's not an OLED or an AMOLED panel, the screen still looks really nice, and I can't complain about that. You know, I guess my only gripe is that it's so big. You know what I mean. I feel I wish TCL would um. You know, put out a phone that is like a little more compact and I hate to say compact in this era, because you know you have flip phones, you have big screen devices.

You know like the Samsung Galaxy uh, you know fold which shout out to my buddy lateral. If he watches this later on uh, he knows what I'm talking about. He loves his phones, and he loves those big old flip phones. Me personally, I haven't tried to transition over to a flip phone just yet uh hoping one day I will, but you never know. I don't know if that's ever going to happen, but anyways this phone uh, you know considering it has probably to me a lower end.

Snapdragon processor. I think it's like a snapdragon 460 processor uh, it's relatively uh snappy for what it is. You know again, I haven't downloaded a lot of apps yet, and I have read a few benchmarks on it already. The benchmarks are not great at all, but again these benchmarks are, you know, very indicative to day-to-day use. It really just depends on the user right on their experience and what they're using it for right.

You know this phone is a very good, solid, lower to hot to mid-range device. You know you have a good-looking big screen, so you're obviously going to be watching a lot of YouTube videos. A lot of you know Netflix a lot of Hulu. You know if you, if you guys, are into that kind of stuff right, um gaming, wise, I haven't downloaded any games yet, so I might make a separate video on that again. This is just a live stream to test out the front facing camera.

And again, if you guys haven't seen my ROG here, she is her name is coco, don't forget to send those super chats by the way, because coco loves to get treats from those super chats, and I believe I buy my dogs a lot of traits, so anyways yeah, if you guys are just joining in, don't forget to just smash the like button again. I know it's not one of those deals where you know uh it's Friday night people are out. I know that I know. Literally probably, you know roaming around downtown um who knows but anyways. Hopefully you guys are all doing.

Okay tonight again uh the phone sounds crispy. So when I'm playing stuff back, the phone actually sounds perfect um, and it has some sort of speaker uh. You know thing that I need to talk about later on when I'm actually doing the review here uh, but for the most part you know I'm pretty impressed for a phone. That's in the 189 dollar price range. It's really not bad at all, um.

You know you're not going to get 5g connectivity you're not going to get things like NFC you're, not going to get wireless charging your, probably not going to get like high speed charging. Also, since this is a 5 000, a William battery inside the actual phone itself, but for the most part you know you're really not looking uh, it's not it's really, not bad. You know if you know, let's say, for instance, you know you break your phone, and you have like a higher end, android phone or whatever, like a Samsung 21s ultra- and you know you have break your phone and you know you only have a couple of hundred bucks to spend to replace the phone. You know you could either go with a Samsung Galaxy, a series phone which you know you can probably get in that price range, or you can get a TCL 20 SC, which again you know I'm kind of a fan of the UI. I really enjoy the UI.

It's not very to me. It's not very like loaded with a bunch of unnecessary things. You know what I mean um. The phone actually has a dedicated like assistance button, so it does have another button on the side of the phone. So if you want to use Google Assistant, it's just a button away.

So if you're like you know if you have a smart home or something like that, that you have stuff linked up very easy to use um what else? Let's see what good things can I say about this one? I really like the backing of the phone. It's like a polycarbonate. Back and again, I can't show you because I'm live-streaming on the actual device right uh, but for the most part it looks very nice. Like all the way around. You know it's its not a light phone.

So if you get a case for this phone, even without a case, this phone is very bulky and heavy uh. You know what I mean: it's not it's! Nowhere like thin, it's not thin at all. Um again, I can compare it to like the tcl10l or like the T-Mobile rubble 5g or even the 5g UW, this dog. She keeps she thinks I'm going to take her somewhere, probably, but I'm not. We already went for a car ride.

Coco her stomach feels real fat. She probably needs to go to the Vania too bad, so sad, coco but anyways. Okay, so doesn't look like. We have a lot of viewers today and again. Maybe I'm just going to make this video quick and short.

You know if no more, if not a lot of people come in, let's find out. You know what I mean I might say. I have a new login alert from my Twitter account. No, I got it, it's not a new login. I was the one that logged in it's because I logged in over here on my Mac over here, and I guess my actual um phone things that I was like.

I did you know a fake device or something like that, so anyways um Daniel Darnell, are you still there you know. Do you have any questions about the tcl20 SC how's it going for you um Friday night? You know definitely kicking, so today I was off uh from work, and it's been pretty much hectic week. Actually you know what I mean um. You know I work for a grocery retailer uh. If you guys are not familiar with it in the state of Texas, it's a three-lettered, uh grocery store.

You can figure that out on your own. If you want to look that up, but anyways, it's just been a hectic week. I work on the know the online order and pickup area at my job, and you know my boss. Unfortunately, she had to take a leave of absence due to you know, health issues, and I've been running my department. You know I was basically second in command um, but luckily they're supposed to be sending yes, he knows.

What's up no questions? Really, let's keep the chat going. Daniel Darnell come on. Let's keep it going. Um yeah HEB the three letter, everyone's three favorite letters, so, so yeah for the most part. You know it's been kind of a stressful week and a half for me because again my boss has been out, and it's just been a very hectic week.

Um, you know if you guys follow what's going on as far as like people that are getting benefits, you know they're giving a lot of people debt or food stamps. You know what I mean, and it's really driving my department in cells. As far as like how many customers we're getting we're. Basically getting like you know, 100 more customers a day than we normally get, which is causing issues, I wouldn't say, causing issues, but it's causing our department to you know, use more hours. Basically, so I'm having to schedule a lot more hours- and you know a lot of the partners- are already scheduled like five days and including myself, which, with chicken I'm a full-timer.

So I work five days a week, but anyways um going from that. You know it's just been a hectic week. You know it's been very, very busy stressful, and today was my first day off. I haven't had a day off since, like last Friday, I think so. I worked like six days straight, and I've literally just been glued to my couch, like I made it a point to not do anything this week I was like or not on my day out, I'm off tomorrow as well.

Luckily, but I made it a point to just sit on my butt and not do anything for the entire day. I was literally watching Dragon Ball super all day. Um all afternoon I woke up, got breakfast got on the couch, and I was debating whether to live stream tonight, just to see if anyone would actually like to get on. So obviously, there's like two people on which you know: that's not that's not a normal for my from my YouTube channel to only get a few viewers uh but other person. I see you there smash the like button.

Please get that algorithm going over here for me, please, because I need the YouTube gods to help me out and get this video a million views basically put me on the trending page or whatever. That would be. That would be awesome right, yeah right, uh, like that, would ever happen, thanks. I saw that you liked the video, so I appreciate that so again, uh. You know I am hopefully tomorrow uh tomorrow.

My next day off, I actually have an event that I'm gonna actually go help film uh, which uh, if you guys uh, follow me my channel. You guys know that I'm a big wrestling fan as well and tomorrow I have the opportunity to go: help interview, uh, two WWE Hall of Famers, Kurt angle and mark Henry and then uh former WWE diva, slash current. I think she's art ring of honors uh, wrestler Molina, I'm not correct on that, maybe impact I don't know if she's on impact or ring of honor uh, but anyway she's a former divas champion, also or yeah, either champion or women's champion. I think she was a woman's champion before they converted it to the divas' championship. So um good for her, and again I'm going to be there, and I'm going to be interview, I'm going to be there at the event most of the day, at least, so we'll see how that goes again.

If you guys are just joining in, don't forget to smash the like button again, let me know what you guys think of the front facing camera of the TCL 20s e, which is again a very good-looking uh. You know it's a budget device. You know, I guess that third person didn't want to smash the like button, they jump in, and then they get off so, and I'm one I'm wondering if it's some of my new subscribers again like, I have 12 000 subscribers and literally two people are watching my video right now. So I don't know, I don't know if that says something about YouTube. Oh, look.

I got that like, after all, thanks uh, I don't know if that says something about YouTube's algorithm or their notification system or again, maybe, maybe like 95 of my actual content, uh or my viewers are dead accounts. I don't know you know, I mean I've had this channel for like 12 years already so, and I'm getting the notifications here saying that aloha android shared my videos, so big shout out to you Tito 82 tech. That's what's up thanks again for uh sharing my video. I think he showed that on on on YouTube. Actually, so he might have actually created a post.

So big shout out to you there. If you guys don't follow him, go ahead and give his channel a follow as well. I think it's 82 tech- or I don't know if it's aloha android, also just popped in thanks, and I just saw that I saw the uh the share by the way I got a notification, so, so right yeah, you know I'm live-streaming here on the TCL 20sc, and you know I'm I'm streaming directly from YouTube. Just because I want to see like the quality of that, I guess uh, post uh video, I guess uh and I don't want to use stream yard this time around, just because um say hi to my ROG by the way she's on my lap um, but anyways man. No, no, I'm doing good.

You know I've only been on for about like 15 minutes only, so I'm just here. You know I was telling the fans here that I was basically just enjoying my entire day off. I didn't really do much today, um chill day off. It wasn't nothing too crazy. I just literally I was telling him that I was literally sitting and watching Dragon Ball super so far, so uh the phones.

You know the phone's good. You know it's actually performing uh higher the expectations of it were actually lower than far as performance goes uh, but you know it's pretty smooth like it has it's running a snapdragon 460 processors. I think which I don't know a lot about the 400 series, processors. But it's actually not that bad. Like it's.

You know it's pretty snappy now you know I haven't really seen a lot of lags. I haven't really downloaded a lot of apps, though so right now, I think I only have like Instagram and Twitter on it and YouTube along with whatever stock TCL apps are on there right and google apps, because you know they're gonna, give you all of Google's uh popular apps right, but other than that I really haven't. Seen like there hasn't really been a lot of hiccups with the device. Yet I know, I haven't gone out because I've been working, but I do plan to try to test out the camera tomorrow, maybe take it out somewhere and do some video uh. You know some video shooting with it using the front and rear facing camera.

So right now you can see that I am using the front casing front facing camera. What's going on gene how's it going man thanks for joining in on the chat blaze, uh you're, not new. I don't know if you're new to my channel, but thanks for joining in, if you are again don't forget to smash the like button. Hope you guys, like my new background by the way again. Normally I will just you know: it'll be my bed over here, which my bed is like a mess right now.

I don't want to show you guys uh, but I just decided to dedicate again this side, this corner of my room to live-streaming or, like, I guess, just doing unboxing videos in general. You know what I mean uh so hope you, like the view. Hopefully you know I have the little led strip. Try. I I I had it tried to connect it to my two this back here, but it's it keeps coming off.

I don't know what the point of these led strips are. If they're not going to stick, you know what I mean like, because I see people try to connect them to their TVs. Maybe they don't have a big of an issue connecting them to their TVs or not. You know what I mean um jean says or aloha says sup Taine, blaze, 760 says: what's up, so thanks again for being here guys, I really appreciate it. Uh aloha android, set or Tito says I really hope you guys enjoy.

You know what's cool about that, you know. I know you. I thank again for the recommendation about that. Um. Furthermore, I don't know if that guy's checking out my channel or not, you know what I mean.

Furthermore, I think his name is mark uh. But anyway you know I was looking at my followers on Twitter, and I was like whose this and I don't know if it's legit or not- maybe it's a fake thing or something like that, but you know maybe he's looking for other YouTube channels to review the pixel devices or maybe the Pixel Buds um. So you know I wanna. I definitely you know. Hopefully, um can be a part of that one.

One day I guess um, you know I've had most of the original nexus devices. I think the only original nexus devices that I didn't have been the Huawei 6p and I think, like the original galaxy, the galaxy nexus, the one the nexus made by HTC. I think, the very first nexus I never owned that one um. Furthermore, I did own uh, the only pixel phone I've ever owned is the Pixel 4a, so I've never actually touched the pixel devices. But if you look at like you know, going 10 years later from you know the actual nexus devices up till now, you know the pixel devices are pretty much almost the same.

Obviously they want to cater, sorry. My ROG is like being annoying uh. They really just want to cater to you know uh people that are very into still photography. Right and again the pixel continues to impress with uh you know their cameras. I believe the Pixel 4a probably still has one of the best cameras, even though it's a budget device, you know what I mean.

Uh still has one of the best cameras. I love to use that phone all the time. The phone is very snappy uh. I really have no complaints. I you know I had bought that phone with the intention of just using it for like a month and selling it, but I like the pixel so much that I ended up keeping it like.

Furthermore, I was just like. No, I'm just going to keep the device like I'm just gonna, I'm gonna, keep it, and I'm gonna just use it, and I've been using it. I've used it on my visible uh, my visible account so uh my visible uh. You know phone number. I guess I do have like three lines.

You know my main line, which is my iPhone, my Pixel 4a, which is my uh. You know my secondary line, and then I have a t-mobile line that I never really use it's just for like what I'm doing testing so actually, I'm using T-Mobile on this device right now, and I'm actually getting pretty good speeds on the actual um phone itself. Furthermore, you know what I mean if you guys looked at my last video um, I was doing a speed test on the TCL phone or the 20sc. Excuse me and excuse me by the way I just ate I just ate before I actually started the live stream, so the food is starting to come back. If you know what I mean here go to the vet, I just threw my dog.

I hope that didn't look bad on camera, but anyways um, so yeah for the most part again rob but yeah. I hope you know I do become a part of team pixel. But if I don't, you know it's, okay, it's okay! Also, you know what I mean again. I know they. They give a lot of YouTubers opportunities and maybe I'll get one of those.

Maybe I won't uh hoping I do, though, keeping my fingers crossed. So whoever sees this please pray to the pixel gods that I get into team pixel at least this year. You know what I mean. If that's the case, I would love to get their hands on the next flagship, pixel device. You know what I mean but how's everyone doing again.

I haven't seen any chats over here. Let's see, okay, I don't know why. I'm not seeing I'm not seeing any of the chats here I might have to bust out. I might have to bust out another phone. Let me get that because they're not, they're, not popping up on my end.

So let me do that real quick hold on one second guys, one second, and I'm actually going to use my Samsung a52 here the non 5g version to kind of keep track of you all's chats over here, because again, I'm not seeing anything. My Wi-Fi even on hold on uh real, quick story about the Samsung a52. By the way, if you guys haven't been paying attention to my other videos, so I actually sold this phone after having it for like a month. I sold it on to somebody one bay and, like oh look, it says, I'm live yeah. Okay, I don't know if you guys can see that or not okay, the message went away so um.

I actually purchased this phone. I unboxed it. Furthermore, I did a few videos on it right. Furthermore, I ended up not really using the phone to its full like potential. You know, because I was kind of short on cash, so I ended up selling it maybe before working on a few videos on it, so I sold it one bay, the person that bought it for me intended to use this on cricket.

I bought this on Amazon. Amazon says that this will work on a TNT. Okay. So if it works on a t, it should work on cricket right so wrong, uh the person that I sold it to said it does not work on cricket. So I'm just like hmm like there's.

I've never had an unlock device, not work on, like you know, either T-Mobile or circuit. So I went to the actual. I went back to the link for the actual Samsung a50 a52 and again this is the international version. So I went back. I went back, and it's I was going through some comments or reviews for the people and there were several reviews that said this phone does not work on cricket.

So I'm like well crap hear hear. I am telling the person that I sold the device to that. It works on cricket and I I I just assumed right, but clearly I didn't. I didn't have my information straight Amazon said it. It would work on a t and T-Mobile, because it's a GSM device did not work, so I sold it one bay.

So you know my end of the bargain. You know I told him I'll go ahead and refund him as long as he's willing to send the actual phone back to me. So I did so. He sent the phone back to me. He didn't send the charger back.

Furthermore, he kept. Furthermore, he sent the charging brick with it, but the actual cable he kept. I don't know why, or maybe he just forgot to put it back in or he maybe he was using it and again, that's not a big deal to me. It's just a charging cable. So I have this phone in my hands again, which is funny, but you know what the funny part is.

I did read a comment that says that this phone works on Verizon. So I was like wait. What and I was like it says on the description of the phone on Amazon will not work on Verizon or sprint or other CDMA carriers. So I have to test out the theory right. So I get I made a video about this.

If you guys haven't checked it out, it's on my channel um, but pretty much. You know this phone does work on visible, which is piggybacking off Verizon's network and I think that's hilarious. Because again, I'm going to put this. I'm going to put the phone in the shop, I'm going to step out of the shop really quick, because I have to burp, and I don't want that to be super distracting for you guys but anyways. I feel like sneezing also but anyways.

This boat is actually it's pretty nice phone, like I mean for the most part again I haven't it has a fingerprint sensor. It has faced unlock. It has a lot of good little things. Let me go ahead and get the uh the life going, real, quick, I'm going to have to click that, and I'm going to make sure I like to smash the like button. Also, um.

Let me lower the volume all the way just so that you guys don't hear my beautiful voice twice, but look who that get it to work anyways. I can see the comments a little better now, so thanks again guys for being here tonight. I went ahead and smashed the like button right there, so I have seven likes now. So again, if you haven't smashed the like button, please smash the like button, but now I can see all's chats so um going back to the story, so I ended up refunding the guy. I've had the fun for about a week and a half.

Now probably he sent it back, and you know the phone's in perfect condition still. So if anyone is interested in buying the a52, this does work on visible. So if you have a visible phone again, this is a LTE. This is not the 5g version. If you're interested in purchasing it.

I will probably give you a discount just a heads-up on it, because I had the guy that purchased for me and initially bought it for around 320 bucks. This phone brand new is probably close to the 400 mark and I just kind of want to get rid of it. So if someone wants to take this off my hands, if you're a viewer of mine- and you follow me on Twitter, um dm me on Twitter I'll give you a good deal, I take PayPal or cash app, you know what I mean, and I will pay I will. I will definitely give you guys a good discount on it. You know um, but yeah.

The Amazon description was jacked up on that uh rob and if Is paid the price on it. Unfortunately, because you know they, they say something, and I was already past the refund period. On that do I take crypto. If you want to send me some dojo coin, I might take some crypto or bitcoin. You know what I mean.

That's so cool. You know I'll, give you my coin mate I'll, give you my Coinbase wallet address or something like that, and I've never been paid in crypto. Actually, that's a good one though um and for those of you since rob mentioned it for those of you who don't follow my other channels. I have a few other channels. One of them is called crypto tech, which I haven't really touched based on in about a month or so.

Probably since I left my office, I haven't really touched uh that channel a lot has been happening on the crypt in the crypto market, though a lot of it has been diving because of china. You know a lot of people are kind of selling off. I would call them the whales they are selling off their um. You know they're big chunks of crypto that they own, because china is stopping mining on their bitcoin and stuff, like that, I guess, and it's affected the market like drastically, like literally Dogecoin's value dropped in half like in the last month. It was at 40 cents like literally like a month ago, maybe a little more than a month ago, and then now it's dropped to about 22 cents.

It was at 19 cents like a day or two ago. So it's been kind of fluctuating around the 20 to 25 cent mark the last like month. Um, you know it kind of makes me regret, not selling when it was at 75 cents, because when it was at 75 cents, I had literally made like a couple of thousands from not, and I was holding- and I was like. Yes, it's going to go to a dollar, or it's going to go higher than a dollar, and it never did sadly, but I'm holding right now so anyways how's it going on your Enron hope, you're doing. Okay, if you're interested in this beautiful device right here, the Samsung a52 series, international version, let me know- or if you know anyone that's interested- I did post it in your Facebook page by the way.

Yeah, I don't know. If it's yeah I mean it's the Chinese government. I guess I don't want. I don't really. Furthermore, I really don't want to be talking about them, though, because they make these cool phones or most of them make these cool phones by the way.

All right, sorry about that, I had to blow my nose and I don't want to do it on camera and I have a little of a headache right now by the way. Also, oh excuse me: let's see Samsung Korean mighty. Oh, my bad way up. Samsung is Korean anyways. I don't know why.

I thought it was Japanese, this entire time. Well, anyways man looks like we're getting a few more viewers in here. So again, if you guys are just joining in, don't forget to say, hi um smash the like button. Again, we were talking about we're talking about smartphones here, so if you guys are just joining in again, I am live-streaming currently on the tcl20se and at the beginning of the stream I was thinking uh. You know the partners that send me this phone, because uh they've been helpful to my channel.

You know I was able to review three of their phones last year, um, so big shout out to TCL mobile USA or TCL global mobile. I don't know whatever it's called for sending me these devices because again, like um. No, I haven't gotten the pro yet last year they actually sent me the 10 pro first um, but you know they did say that they are working on getting them out to other YouTubers. It's just that right now they were only allowed to give a specific amount to YouTubers, so they didn't send. They didn't send them.

So when I, when I, when I initially messaged them about it because they'm in their contact email, so I get emails from them all the time uh about, like you, know, getting information about like news and stuff like that um, so anyways um, going from there. You know I messaged one of the guys back, and I was like hey like what are the chances of me getting the TCL. You know 20 pro, and they're like okay right now, like you know that they only have a limited amount of units which they had already sent out, but they offered me this phone, which is TC the TCL 20se. So, let's go in order, so they have the TCL 20 pro 5g, and then they have the TCL 20 l, which is like their right. Like a notch below, I don't know if I don't, I don't think the 20l is a 5g device, I'm not sure uh, and then this one, which is the SC which again the SC, is still a very solid.

You know I would say, lower it's like right. It's teetering right there in the mid-range area. It's like right there, because it's under the 200 price range I feel like. If it was in that area where it was like between 250 and 300, then we would. We would be talking like pixel.

You know, area pixel, I guess um I was gonna, say pixel improvement, no pixel performance, I would say so. Uh, let's see someone jean says, I have a Samsung a01, dual sim card device, Mexican version. Uh surprisingly, I think this is not a dual sim card device. This only has one sim card slot in there and I can show you guys to verify if I can find my little sim card thing. I don't have it on me right now.

Sadly, but when I open this up, most of the international versions of the devices that I buy have dual sim cards, but this one does not. So if you're looking to uh like to get this device, just know you're not going to get it aloha android said, isn't TCL the makers of the TCL rebel 5g. Yes, even though it's not branded as a TCL device, it is the ma they are the makers of that specific device. So and again, I think that was just T-Mobile's way of, like you know, trying to get like an inexpensive, 5g phone, which I have the feet. I have the uh T-Mobile uh level 5g, which has a snapdragon 665 pro 665g.

I think processor, it's its an it's a pretty solid device. You know I've already done a few videos on it, and it works well. You know I can't complain about it here. Have I smashed the like button? Oh, there you go live chat there you go, but yes, uh. If you watch the unboxing of this phone, I actually kind of compare like the builds of these phones.

So you know what's funny. I should do an update video on that right. I should, but the phone is actually off. Furthermore, I did have it on right before I put the sim card in this phone that I'm using right now, hey what's up tech for your needs, good, to see you by the way I haven't seen you in a minute, bro, hope, everything's good by the way, but um yeah. Furthermore, I maybe I'll, do an update video on it again.

Furthermore, I I I rarely do update videos, I'm thinking about doing one on the Pixel 4a. Furthermore, I think that'll be my first update, video, uh and then maybe I'll go with the raw 5g, because I get I still have like five or six devices that I have sitting here, and I'm actually thinking about trading in, like an old, you know boost mobile phone that I have sitting around uh that I can send into visible and maybe see what I can get as far as like you know, one of their other devices. You know what I mean because I know they have like: they still have the swap program or you, where you send an old phone in on visible, and then you get um excuse me, you get like a know. A device and they'll send it to you with the sim card, and then you can just activate it and turn it on etc. Like that, so I'm thinking about doing that.

Um we'll see how that goes again. I think you still have to pay for the first month of service up front, though uh for the swap, but other than that. I think. That's all you have to pay. You just have to pay the 40 dollars and um I'm.

You know, I'm just thinking about doing that, but yeah I mean for the most part, maybe I'll do a'll do an update video on the Pixel 4a on the rebel 5g and update video on the h52. No, I think, as long as the I think it's the IMEI number is like as long as it's good on there and you they do have to send them an IMEI number. I think that, like long digit number, they do, ask you for it and as long as it's good it doesn't, I don't think it really matters as long as the phone's like able to turn on you know what I mean and not like super damaged um, but if you haven't tried it uh take foreign to try it man, and you can use my party code and join my party. So if you want to try a new service in your area, I know I'm not sure which uh service you are on. I think you've told me you're on T-Mobile before, but glad to have you back teach for your needs.

Man thanks for being here. I really appreciate you guys. You guys are my boys, I'm not streaming it tonight, just a heads-up on that um. Just because you know again. I wanted to test out this just how it looks, and so far it looks pretty good.

Like you know again, the screen is so big like I could have been stream Harding. This probably you know what I mean, because I mean it's basically, a phablet 6.82-inch screen on the tcl20 SE, and I'm just like wow like I'm just so amazed how big these screens are getting on these devices and uh. You already know rob that my pet pelvis, big screens like this one, is huge also, but this one is not as big as this phone. This is like a 6.4 or 6.5 inch display. I can hold this and this phone doesn't really hurt my hands, but this device hurts in my hands.

It's just so bulky, I'm just not used to using a big device like that, so um yeah everyone's saying hi to each other okay hold on. I like big phones, and I cannot lie I'm not a big phone guy again. You guys know that the Pixel 4a is like a sweet spot for me, as far as like actual devices go. So I'm you know, I'm hoping that phones do it. You know I you know you guys know.

I have like the iPhone 12 mini. You know I feel like the iPhone 12 mini is just a little too small, though I can't believe I'm saying that right, but it's just too small. I think when I took me a while to adjust to it actually, okay anyways sorry, I was like looking at my thing and it that just popped up but anyways yeah it um. You know I again, I don't know, I don't know why people need such big screens. I guess you know, I mean hello, I get it.

I just almost lost my investment there cool. Furthermore, I can actually watch on TV now. Furthermore, I should put watch on TV. Let's put it on Mike's TV, I'm literally going to start live-streaming on my TV now, let's see if I can get the camera flipped over there, if it. If it goes through, let's see if it does or not but anyways, I almost broke this phone guys.

I almost dropped it and if I just almost dropped it, I would have lost my investment over here. That would have been so stupid, and I need to really be careful. I shouldn't buy a case on this, but yeah. Let's go ahead and flip the screen. Let's see, so you're going to see some laundry, some laundry machines, and then you're going to see my 50-inch TV in the background.

So I'm actually watching myself. That's so hilarious, so hilarious, but okay, it's playing on it's playing on the TV. So I'm just going to be watching myself I'll, put the camera back on me and I can actually kind of see myself better, which is that's a pretty cool feature. I guess you know what I mean pretty cool feature to use. Let's see, can I chat back over here with you guys, let's see what is going on? Oh yeah, what's up I'm going to be like hey: what's going down guys, wait.

Am I still live-streaming? I don't even know. Are you guys still there? I don't know what happened. It's still here the screen's still here, but I'm having issues with this device over here. So, oh there you go. I need to download the g board on this app or on this phone, because I hate Samsung's phone all right there.

I hate their stock keyboard, I'm just not a fan. Okay, I'm glad that you're still here tech for your needs. It's been a minute man, I'm hope you're doing good. Hopefully everyone's doing good rob. I know you I know, I know you're doing good brother um check for your needs.

I know you've been kind of m. I. a talk to me about your um. You know your Monday live streams, or I think you do you. You do weekly live streams.

Have you been doing them like? Have you stepped away from the YouTube market? For now, you know what I mean like. I know. A lot of people have been stepping away from YouTube. You know what I mean I've seen you know. I've seen.

Videos where, like people are ups, are frustrated, or they're upset with YouTube. Okay, you took a break from YouTube yeah, you know. That's, that's! That's not! You know I mean that's normal, I think you know what I mean. Yeah, YouTube is such a people that get lucky and get hooked into the algorithm. You know, I think they worry less about it, I guess or whatever, but, like you know, people that are generally genuinely trying and trying to get a following and trying to your know, build a community.

It's its not easy for some people, you know what I mean so like for me. For instance, you know I know a couple of months back. I was not posting, and I wasn't you know uh. I was burned out mostly from my actual job, and you know some of my co-workers know that I do YouTube, and they're like. Oh, you need to do this and that to get popular I was like.

I was like Brad. I've been trying those things, and it's not easy, but anyways um for the most part. You know, I think you know I just want to enjoy. I just want to start enjoying making content again. I don't really care at this point.

It's not about so much about the views and the followers anymore for me is about just me enjoying what I'm making now. You know what I mean and maybe caring less about the editing side and, like you know, everything making that you know making it fun for myself. You know what I mean: make tech fun yeah. Furthermore, you know what I mean because, again, like we use them every day right, you know it doesn't have to be a chore. Furthermore, you know well, with the phone turned off on me, doesn't have to be a chore.

Furthermore, you know, I think you know as a YouTuber, you should enjoy what you're doing it shouldn't feel like a job right and again, I'm hoping that one day this you know this account will hopefully pay my bills, and I can quit my day job and I can just you know MFA like that sounds cool, but it also sounds kind of like kind of bad. I guess I don't know in a way MTF thing guys we're gonna MFA this. You know what I mean real funny at real funny stuff, but anyways I'm trying to figure out what the heck is. This thing in the background. Oh, it's my little mob case.

It looks bigger than what it is, but it's actually kind of small. It's. Actually it's actually a case for this little guy, which is a small little speaker or not speaker a microphone for my actual uh iPhone. It's a lightning one. I have a video about that.

If you guys haven't checked that out either check it out, um move, again big shout out to mobile for always sending me stuff as well. You know what I mean I'm going to give them a free plug on this channel or on this live stream. You know if you guys, are interested in buying camera gear or microphone equipment. This company sells it relatively cheap, and they sell good stuff. You know, like top tier level stuff, you know in my opinion, so you know don't hesitate to check them out.

It's uh. You can find them uh, just google them move photo find them on Twitter. You can find them on Amazon as well. Furthermore, you know they sell a lot of stuff like they don't just sell microphones, they sell uh a lot of audio gear, they sell lighting stuff. They sell a little of everything.

You know what I mean so check them out again. They've. Given me they've sent me several things like that. I've been able to review and touch base on so, so big shout out to move uh big shout out to TCL, and we'll just continue the shout-outs over here right, but yeah guys. I really just wanted to get on and test out the uh.

You know this uh specific phone uh, you know tech, fair needs. What questions do you have for the tcl20 SC? I know you have questions by the way bro my ROG she's on the bed, just kind of looking at me saying she's, like it's its time for bed, we need to go to bed already. What do you want? Mother, huh, okay. I just saw a roach crawling across the floor. That was not fun because it went under my bed, and now I'm scared to go to sleep.

Oh my god, anyways guys, I hope everyone's doing good. You know what I mean. I mean it's been an interesting summer. We've been getting, we've been getting a lot of rain uh in Texas by the way. So, if you're in Texas, you know I mean I have family that lives in Houston and San Antonio I mean I live in south Texas.

We've been getting just pummeled by rain this last week, which you know in Texas. That's a blessing, but with rain comes mosquitoes and with rain again comes humidity in Texas, and if you live in a state that is normally 95 to 100 degrees during the summer you add in some rain you get some ugly humidity, and it's like you, don't you don't have to step outside for like two seconds before you're already sweating. You know what I mean. It's like it's that hot. You know what I mean.

My electricity bill has gone up because of this heat and the humidity, and it's just oh it's not it hasn't, has not been fun. So, let's see, let's see, photo and audio quality. Yes, oh, so you have a question on the photo and audio quality uh. To be honest, I have not taken photos with it. Yet man, I've only had the phone a couple of days and I have not been out due to work, so I do plan to take pictures with this tomorrow.

I will be taking it to uh an event. I believe where I'm gonna, probably test out the know the camera quality etc. Like that, and just you know test it out. You know what I mean. I just want to go and record myself out there.

Maybe or you know just go out. You know you guys know what you guys know what I like to. Do I like to go to parks I like to go to like areas where I can take pictures of buildings and get that going for you all? You know what I mean, but I guess let me put the a52 aside by the way get any of you guys are interested in purchasing this phone. Send me a dm on Twitter or on Facebook, or on Instagram. I have an Instagram also so uh we just had a tropical storm.

Elsa just came through here. Nothing happened here, but in the northeast, like New York and NYC, and the New England areas that got hammered yeah, oh yeah, I uh does that mean you're in Florida, jean g hung, taking some of my drink here, anyways, not sponsored by that drink by the way, oh you're in Delaware, whoa, okay, Delaware is the east coast as well right like the northeast coast. I want to say mid-Atlantic. Okay, there you go okay, you know what I've never been east of Texas. I've only gone west.

You know, I said the only other state I've ever been to is Las Vegas or Nevada. Excuse me- and I was there for like two or three days- I didn't really get to explore as much as I wanted to um, but you know definitely, once uh traveling becomes more of an option and my YouTube channel blows up. You know what I mean, and I'm able to just travel travel travel. I'm thinking about doing that. You know what I mean visiting just you know the east coast.

You know, you know the west coast everywhere. Furthermore, you know just because you know I want to see the sites I want to. Furthermore, you know, visit landmarks, etc. Well, I'm glad you guys have good things on the east coast, the original 13 colonies over there by the way um. You know what I mean.

I'm part, I'm part of an area of the country that used to belong to Mexico and yet people are complaining that Mexicans live in Texas, like I just don't understand it, like the entire central part of the United States, Texas, New Mexico, Arizona, all that area only that used to belong to Mexico so for people that are tired of dangers we're never going away, because we we we're already here in the country you're part of the 13 colonies, good job, sir. She won't leave me alone, but yeah for the most part I'll be testing out the photo and video quality. Tomorrow, brother and again, I'm going to try to get that done. Maybe get a video up tomorrow night, I'm not 100 sure there will be a video uh tomorrow, but I'll try to get it posted by the next couple of days. If anything um, you know, I'm really enjoying the device, though, for what it is.

You know what again Federico's. What's up Oscar Federico how's it going man we're talking, I'm live-streaming on the TCL 20se right now, and I'm actually on T-Mobile's network right away. So let me know if it let me know if it looks good. You know what I mean. It looks okay on my TV over there, so considering the fact that I'm live-streaming like this looks perfect to me.

Uh on my 50-inch TV uh. It looks a little, I wouldn't say washed out, but it looks a little grainy, but my the lighting in my room is always dark guys. You guys already know that so gene says it's great um Federico Texas, how's it going how's it going Fellini how's it going brother. I was actually trying to offer Oscar Federico to by the phone but uh. He said he was not interested respectfully though, so I was like man.

I was looking forward to selling to one of my two one of my followers over here. You know what I mean. Let's see its nice brightness uh, I'm actually in a room that was converted into a garage, or it was a garage converted into a like a. I guess this or just an extra room in my house and pretty much most of my life. I've lived in this room, um minus the know the times that I moved out, and I had my own apartment, or I was renting a small house a couple of years ago, um.

Furthermore, I came back, you know with the intention of only being here like a year, and I never left I've just been here. You know what I mean, but I guess right now, I'm just taking advantage of saving money. You know I'm not in a long-term relationship right now, uh, so I'm just taking advantage of saving money, and you know enjoying myself. You know. Obviously the YouTube channel is still.

You know thing for me right. So that's why I wanted to kind of when, once I got out of the office I was like I need to your know. I need to do something with some of the stuff that I had at the office, so you guys can see like the soundproofing. I put it in the background there uh. You know this thing right here by my Mac or whatever um the thing that it's sitting on was.

It was one of the items that I had in my office. The Mac mini the monitor most of the funks I had here, but the belt that you see there in the background that was a part of my studio as well. So no bro, don't even worry about it. You know I was just throwing that in there as a conversation piece man. So don't worry Oscar you're, don't worry you don't have to apologize.

Okay, I'm going to sell this phone again, probably I'll, probably try to post it up on the Facebook marketplace, uh, or I'll post it up in one of uh Tito's groups or maybe uh. You know that I think Kevin brace has a group over there maybe see if he's interested, or maybe I'll, maybe I'll post it on Twitter, we'll see, so I'm not 100 sure, but I do want to sell the phone, though I do want to say I do want to sell the a52 which, which I was talking about a little earlier. It's right here by the way in the a52 international version, so kicking my ROG off, because I don't want her. On top of me, but let's see don't apologize, though, and look who we have here, just as I'm about to get off. Mr lateral aka eastern tech himself, trying to get on over here, trying to make me stay on an extra two hours trying to bring in those views over here.

What's up literally man thanks for smashing the like button, if you haven't already by the way, bro smash the like button, it's right there please smash the like button. I need at least 100 likes on this video so that the algorithm picks it up. Okay, YouTube and their algorithm this guy, but I was uh mentioning that I was like, oh, if lateral's, not on the stream tonight. It's probably because he's like walking around downtown Kenosha or something like that, no worries Federico or Oscar no worries. Bro, let's see yep, that's exactly why I came in to make you stay for what at least four hours well, luckily, for you, I'm not on stream yard.

So I can't, I cannot have people in here with me because I can't send invite. So this is not a stream yard stream. Luckily so- and I have been going on for an hour- so I probably will be on just another like 10 minutes or so because you know, even though I'm off tomorrow, I do have to start setting up for the event that I'm doing tomorrow. So I need to get my camera gear ready camera gear, my microphones, everything that I need to your know record at this event because I will be, I will be meeting former WWE and now current aw star mark Henry, who is the Hall of Famer. By the way I will be meeting Kurt angle tomorrow, again WWE Hall of Famer former uh champion as well, and uh WWE, former WWE diva Molina.

So I'm going to be meeting all of them tomorrow. That's going to be super nice, hopefully we'll see how that goes. So, let's see lateral. Yes, thank you for smashing the like button. By the way I saw that night, like on my video, I just need one more light to hit the double digits guys.

I just need that one. So, let's see lateral says I haven't been downtown in a few weeks, but the whole time I haven't been there is when most events happen. I miss the carnival and what well, what do you are up to bro? I mean I thought you were downtown. Furthermore, I thought you had said something about going downtown. Oh, there you go boom double-digit likes over here.

Finally, the YouTube gods have finally bestowed themselves upon me and I will be able to get a million views on this video. Now, that's, okay, lateral! If that's why I'm here to remind you just like graham Stevens, you know PSA public service announcement, don't forget to smash the like button, okay, because it will get me more viewers and more followers, and it will, and it will help you get more content like this add add, whatever you better like that, you better like it lateral. I need to see number 11 all right so that that number 11 better. Be you it's like right there? On top of my on top of my little thing by the way, I'm I'm just going to sit here in silence and wait for you to like the video okay come on, graham does not send their whole body. He does not by the way, but he knows how to sell his.

He knows how to sell his likes. What are you doing homework? I think my ROG has to go to barn ya. She probably does have to go to the restroom. Let's, let's take this outside hold on. Let's look all right.

I think my dog's got to go. That's why so, let's take it to my backyard, go like stats should have updated. Let's see if you are okay, I don't know what you're talking about literally come on. Let's go, let's say: taking our dogs to the backyard, excuse the mess, my father's a hoarder, but anyways, I'm taking my dogs outside you can see I'm using the restroom I'll try to take them off the camera. Put the camera back on me here we're going to chill in my backyard and just talk with you guys in the dark yeah that doesn't look too bad.

You guys can see the low light capabilities of the TCL 10 or 20sc over here, the famous BTEC backyard, the house tour ll. No, this is not a house tour. This is just my backyard, so not sponsored by the way, all right Federico thanks again for being here. Man. Take it easy, we'll see you next time, Oscar the famous tech backyard.

Here, let me fix that a little you can see my dad's barbecue pit right there. In the background, my backyard is a sponsored by the way this video is brought to you by BTX backyard. Let me know if you guys can hear the crickets. In the background, you can't see the pit. It's like right there, it's kind of hard to see hold on.

I did not want to report myself. Okay, it's hard to see, but it's there. It's like literally like right there like that little wooden plank is part of this part of the pit. So and again my ROG had to go to the restroom, so looks like everyone's driving like flies literally, I don't know what's going on, but that's okay man because I'm going to be getting off soon already, so I hope you've been doing good man again. First live stream, and I wanted to test it out on this specific little device man.

So I'm hoping to get some new videos on it. Probably tomorrow we'll see how that goes. I'm not I'm not I'm not holding my breath on that. Just in case I get busy uh at the event. I might not be able to actually live stream or do anything, but hopefully we'll see how it goes so.

So let me see, what's going on here, just waiting for my ROG to finish doing their business, so I can go back outside because even though it's dark and everything it is still hot out here guys by the way in Texas. It's probably like right now, it's probably like 88 degrees outside I'm dying in this heat right now. People are popping fireworks right now, oh my gosh. Can you guys hear that my dog's freaking out? Okay hold on, let me take her in my ROG hates fireworks by the way she gets so scared come on. Let's go inside.

Okay, the other dogs are just gonna, have to stay there for now. At least this is so Trippe that I'm seeing myself on the screen over here- oh my god, oh my gosh, okay, guys back in the BTEC studios, see if I can fix the tripod here to not fall over how's. That looking does that look okay to you! Now I can. Now you even see the Naruto poster that I have in the background nice. Let's see you were in Milwaukee a few days ago I was literally just posted about how they're still blowing up fireworks.

Yeah, yeah. I hadn't heard my neighbors popping until recently Jeannie says he's here: uh lateral says yeah McAllen McCallum yeah people are still popping fireworks out here in McAllen you're saying my aunt lives next to Jay, and I was literally at his house JJ what the football player Jay is he from Milwaukee, so he lives next to her and- and you were at her house, so does that make you JJ watts best friend? Now I think you guys are BFFs. I think he still plays for the Houston Texans, I'm not 100 sure, I'm not. I don't. Furthermore, I mean my dad follows that team.

Not so much me because I'm not a big Houston fan, you guys know which team I support, which is the tech, sounds the tech sounds. I'm a big fan just kidding, I'm not a big fan, I'm a big fan of the patriots, though so for those of you who don't follow me. If you guys, even though Tom Brady broke my heart when leaving the pets, I was hoping he was going to retire. He should have retired that last year, but now he was just getting greedy, and he just wanted another Super Bowl. So now I now have to hate him.

I don't hate him literally, but now I have to hate him. You know what I mean anyway, guys, let's see okay he's saying I didn't actually see JJ watt, I just uh saw his house it's a little neighborhood buried in a nature, preserve that's pretty cool. I mean that's pretty cool that it's in the nature preserve. You know what I mean yes, 11 likes. Finally, let's see according to them, they see JJ work out all the time.

Yes, Tom Brady, unfortunately, is with Tampa Bay. That's okay! I still follow Tom Brady's career and his uh. His money moves. If you know what I mean so, but you guys are I've been on for an hour, and that was kind that was going to be my limit tonight. So again, thank you guys for smashing.

The like button keep an eye out for more of the TCL 20se videos. I will be putting out a few more hopefully this coming week and who knows maybe we'll see another live stream uh from this device. Eventually, it's a nice little device. You know what I mean so again guys. This is mike from BTEC review.

Signing off the trail, I'll see you later bro and everybody else. You all have a good night. Okay,.
