Let's start with the TCL 30 V 5G, which as you can probably guess is for Verizon, specifically its mmWave network. The phone is powered by a Snapdragon 480 (8 nm), which has support for the faster flavor of 5G (it also does sub-6, of course). This is the higher-end of the two models.
It has a slightly larger, sharper 6.67”
display with 1080p+ resolution (20:9) and Gorilla Glass 3. The punch-holed
camera takes 16 MP photos and can record 1080p@30 fps video. It does face
unlocking too, but you can also use the rear-mounted fingerprint reader for
securing your phone.
The other place where the V model stands
out is the rear camera setup. The star of the show is the 50 MP main camera on
the rear (sensor unknown), which is joined by the 5 MP ultra wide module and a
2 MP macro camera. Unfortunately, the main cam can only record 1080p video at
30 fps (no 4K, not even 60 fps). The chipset is paired with 4 GB of RAM and 128
GB built-in storage (of which 98 GB are user accessible). This can be expanded
with a microSD card up to 1 TB in size. The phone also accepts a single
nano-SIM card and can act as a Wi-Fi 5 (ac) hotspot for up to 10 devices. HD
voice is supported.
Wired connectivity on the TCL 30 V
includes a 3.5 mm headphone jack (you can also use the dual speakers for
audio), plus a USB-C port on on the bottom, which is responsible for charging
the 4,500 mAh battery at 18W. The charger is included in the box and it needs 2
hours to get to 100%.
