TCL 30 E


The TCL 30 E is similar to the SE, except it for a lower cost and a few hardware downgrades. The 6.52” 720 x 1,600 px display has a flat glass, but is the same panel otherwise. Despite a lower price tag, you still get the same 50+2+2 MP camera on the back and a fingerprint reader. The front camera is down to a 5 MP sensor (1/5”), however, with a 76° lens. The chipset is still the Helio G25, so you can record 1080p video @ 30 fps with both cameras.

The chip may be the same, the RAM is not - it is down to 3 GB (LPDDR4X) and storage is 64 GB (eMMC, no 128 GB option). A microSD slot can expand that using the dedicated slot. Finally, battery capacity is the same at 5,000 mAh and you still get a 10W charger, but this time it is as fast as it gets for charging (there’s no 15W support).

The TCL 30 E will launch in Europe in April and in other regions later on. Its price tag is € 140, just € 10 less than the SE model.
