The UnboxingTN Verdict

out of 100

The TCL 40 XL combines a large 90Hz display with a capable main camera, but its chipset, resolution and battery limit the experience.

What is good

  • 50 MP wide camera offers a strong primary imaging setup.
  • 128 GB storage provides generous room for apps and media.
  • 90 Hz refresh rate supports smoother scrolling.

What is not

  • MediaTek Helio G37 limits demanding performance.
  • 720 × 1600 resolution and 260 ppi look modest on 6.75 inches.
  • 5000 mAh battery underperforms category expectations.
