If you need a way to commemorate the end of our seemingly never-ending pandemic spring and summer, or if you’re contemplating going back to school with the same tired smartphone, we’ve got a giveaway that will put a smile on your face. TCL has sent us five brand new TCL 10 Pro Android smartphones to give away to five of our lucky readers. Ready for something to celebrate? Read on and enter.
The $449.99 TCL 10 Pro has a gorgeous 6.47″ FHD+ curved AMOLED display (19.5:9 display with 1080 x 2340 pixels) that’s perfect for reading, gaming, and watching your favorite streaming content. With 6GB RAM and 128GB user memory, you’ve got plenty of power and memory for just about anything you might need to do — but it will also accept a microSD card if you need more storage. The TCL 10 Pro has a 24-megapixel selfie and video call cam with LED flash on the front (and all the beauty filters you might think you need, but you probably don’t). It also has four cameras on the back — a 64-megapixel primary camera, a 16-megapixel super-wide camera, a 5-megapixel macro camera, and a 2-megapixel super low light camera with dual-LED flash.
It’s also got the Qualcomm Snapdragon 675 mobile platform, so it’s speedy and can handle gaming. Best of all, it has a generously sized 4500mAh internal battery that features Quick Charge 3.0 (for charging from 0-50% in 35 minutes), and a 3.5mm headphone jack! You can sign into the TCL 10 Pro with a PIN or password like every other phone, but it also has an in-screen fingerprint sensor and a face unlock sensor. The TCL 10 Pro will work with GSM carriers, including AT&T and T-Mobile, and it is also certified for use on Verizon’s LTE network.
Carly has one, and this is what she has to say about it:
The TCL 10 Pro is, for lack of a better word, a unicorn. It should not exist — it’s a phone that feels as good as a $1,000 phone for the price of a budget one. The screen is beyond impressive, the phone is nicely responsive, there’s a fingerprint reader and facial recognition built right into it, and it handles the day-to-day media consumption I’ve thrown at it with ease. The battery life is also ridiculous! I’ve had days where my son was on it all day playing, and I’ve been totally convinced the battery was toast, only for it to hang on in standby for 2 more days with less than 10% left. The tradeoff is that while you’re getting a good camera, you’re not getting a flagship camera, and the curved edges can be off-putting for some people. But think about it this way: for under $500, you’re getting a phone that has capabilities far above phones that cost over $1,000 just 2 years ago. This isn’t a budget phone with hand-me-down flagship bits, this is a budget flagship category all on its own!
