Hey everyone Digital David here today in this video I'm gonna, be unboxing and reviewing the TCL 10 Perot I did receive this phone to review, but any opinion expressed in this video is strictly my own. That being said, if you're interested in this product- or you want to find out more about it, the link to it will be in my video description below you can see Optima's package 2 right here in a very nice retail box. Now, let's go ahead, let's open it up and look at the package contents here, oh the package contents. First up we got safety precautions followed by your Quick Start Guide right here, walking you through how to set up and operate and use the phone. Then you can see we have our sim eject and removal tool. Then we have your USB wall charger right here and your USB type-c to USB type, a charging cable.
Then we have an included case for the phone, which is really nice, looks great, says: display, greatness on the backside of it and it isn't clear and then last but not least, we have the phone itself right here now. Let's look at it in more detail: here's the front of the phone you can see. We have our camera notch at the top. We have a built-in fingerprint sensor down here. Furthermore, we have a six point: four seven inches curved AMOLED display so 1080 by 23 forty pixels on this side of the device.
You can see our smart key button on the other side of the device. You can see our volume up and down button and our power key button on the very top of the phone. Furthermore, you can see our 3.5 millimeter audio jack, our built-in IR sensor, and we have a microphone on the bottom of the device. Furthermore, you can see our USB type-c charging port, so this phone is equipped with a 4,500 William hour battery, taking 121 minutes to fully charge or 35 minutes to get you to 50%. We have our speaker right here.
We have our micros card expansion slot and our sim card tray all in one right there we can look at the back of the device as well, so the color is Amber gray. It's got a really pretty gray gradient to it, TCL branding right there. We have our four cameras right here as well, so we have our 64 megapixel high-res, cam, 2, megapixel, super low-light, camera 5, megapixel macro camera and our 16 megapixel ultra super wide camera lens right there. It looks really cool in the back good, looking device. This device features the Qualcomm, Snapdragon 600 v, chipset with an outscore processor and don't forget the 6 gigabytes of RAM and 128 gigabytes of built-in storage that can be expanded with the micro SD card slot at the bottom up to 256 gigabytes.
Now, let's go ahead. Let's get a sim card installed so to install a sim. Go ahead. Take the provided tool to remove the tray from the phone there you go. You can see the tray right here.
We have a sim side, and then we have a micro SD card side as well on the backside, which is great. So we can install a card for storage and our SIM so go ahead. Take your sim and gently press it in place. We have a Google buy SIM right here that we're going to use in today's video, but this works with your GSM carriers like AT&T and T-Mobile, but it's also certified to work on Verizon's Network. You may need to contact Verizon for assistance to enable your account to be provisioned, to use CDMA less devices so be sure to reach out to them.
If you're on Verizon go ahead, gently push it back in place, and now we have successfully installed the SIM card. Let's also install the included case. You can see how that looks. So we got the case on right. There really nice if they include that, for us looks great the buttons function on this side same with the other side.
We can see it from the top with our audio port and our IR sensor right there. Then you can look at it from the bottom as well too, with our charging port. Everything is cut and very precise, with this case same on the backside too, with all of our cameras and sensors up here, no issues at all, and it looks really nice with their logo on the phone, but also the display greatness right. There definitely accents TC on the back of the device which is really cool. Now, let's go ahead, let's power it on and try it out.
Now we have the phone powered on. You can see how everything looks and all the default apps that come pre-installed on this phone straight out of the box, then on the next screen you can see all the apps that I went ahead and downloaded myself that we'll try out in this video today, for you guys so really nice, very responsive, beautiful display everything looks so good. You can see the little cutout at the top, the notch for the camera. We can look at some Google News and stories right here. Super responsive everything looks really nice on this display very impressive in person.
You can see a couple of apps that they added themselves, and then you can see like Facebook and Netflix to come. Pre-Installed already for us, which isn't that big of a deal to me, but it's not fully the peer Android 10 experience. Let's go ahead, let's look at some settings, so we can see our device settings right here. We have a dark mode. If we want for the display a lot of features, guys security location, we can check out our storage right here now.
I did download some games already that took up some additional space out of the box. You can expect at least a hundred gigabytes of free space on your device. Fortnight alone took up over seven gigs, so you can see the system took 13 gigs, other apps took 13 gigs and then the remainder is just between photos, videos and some other apps on our device, but not bad. We still have plenty of storage left, though, really responsive nice interface, your typical Android experience. We can select system and learn more about the phone.
This is really nice that they show us. This screens very simple, to understand all the specs that we've already talked about today. You can see Android 10, and they do have Android 11. You can upgrade Oh if you want, so you can view other specs nice system settings right, they're very easy to navigate everything with this phone. Now, let's go ahead.
Let's look at some benchmarks, so here's our first benchmarking test you can see. We got the end to two apps downloaded, and you can see our score right there of two to two nine, eight seven for this device, which is pretty cool. You can see currently CPU temps battery temp. Let's look at those test results in more details, so we actually defeated 18 percent of users and check it out broken down by category CPU. You can see that right there ? compared to your device GPU.
You can see that to compare it to your device as well. Then we got our memory right here same thing and then our UX. You can see those results right there, so not bad scores at this price point for this device. Now, let's compare it to some other similar devices. So here are the benchmark results of the TCL 10 Pro in the Google Pixel 3a.
You can see that it does defeat that device in just about every category except GPU. Where it's super close, then we can look at it compared to the Samsung Galaxy a 51 right here, and again it beats. It is well in the benchmark test, so in every category except GPU, which again is pretty similar right there, that's the Samsung, a 51 and then last but not least, the iPhone SE ?, the iPhone SE 20/20, it does not beat the iPhone SE 20/20 in any category so definitely falls behind, especially in the CPU and the GPU category, but that's really hard to compete with the processor that this new iPhone SE has in it, which is basically the same processor coming out of all of their top iPhone 11 flagship devices. Now I want to conduct a speed test on my home Wi-Fi network, so I downloaded the meteor app. Let's go ahead, let's run one right now select start test.
It's going to calculate our ratings. For us awesome is the best that we can get. So we got an awesome ping. We have an awesome download score once it finishes with the download. It's going to test the upload for us Johann awesome as well, which is awesome, so it's almost done there we go.
The test is finished, and now we can look at all the apps and see their performance right there for YouTube and video streaming for Google Chrome for Google Maps for Spotify. You can see that twitch for video streaming Netflix for streaming movies and videos, that's the apps that we tested with this and everything's going to work great on our home Wi-Fi network. Now, let's go ahead. Let's just look at some real-world results by opening up Instagram, so you can see with Instagram right here opened up. Everything looks great look at how beautiful all the pictures look with the display, guys I think the display is gonna, be my favorite feature of this phone.
It just looks really nice very responsive. Just having all that extra real estate with the curves looks cool just looks great for consuming media, especially if you like to browse Instagram you'll, be happy with what you're seeing from here. Let's also open up ticktock. So here we go. We can watch some videos if we want.
We can go to the next one Oh check out that fish that thing's huge, that's amazing. So again we can browse videos playbacks fine. Now, let's go ahead. Let's open up YouTube as well. I know a great YouTuber, his name's digital David.
What do you know there's his channel, so we can see the latest video if we want from us? Let's go ahead, let's open one up, it's gonna play after this ad, of course thank you, Google and YouTube. For that, let's skip it and there we go pretty cool. The phone gets loud too. So we can see everything looks really nice, so no issues at all be sure guys to give us a follow and a like on all of our social media platforms. Please- and thank you, so that's great guys.
Let's go let's open up Google Chrome! You can see our response. If it is, we have the verge open right here. So looks great loading. Just fine, really quick! We can go and we can select one. If you want, we can find a news article that we want to open up.
Let's just click this Netflix one did I click it there we go. Maybe you can see loaded, just fine, let's open another one. Oh, let's grab a sex lodge pretty cool. You can see everything loads, no issues right. There works really nice very responsive, guys and again that big brain to be able to consume a lot of media.
Now, let's go ahead. Let's play some games all right guys, so we got asphalt.9 loading up right now, we'll just play a little of it. So you guys can see your quality here. It is max volume 2 we got coming on the phone super loud check it out. Let's go! Let's go baby check that out, though doing a great job with this game and first place finish alright.
So now we have fortnight pulled up on the phone. We're going to play some team rumble for a minute. Just you guys can see what it's like I'm terrible at fortnight on a computer, and this is only my second time ever playing it on mobile, so yeah. This is gonna, be really fun to show you guys, but you'll still be able to see how responsive and fluid the gameplay in motion is. That's what's important when you're watching the video right now.
So you can see right here, even just as we're waiting for the game to load check it out guys, look at the detail so not too shabby at all. I mean it looks perfect so far, we'll get in the gameplay too, so you can really see it, but up now we're in the water, and now we're on the battle bus. You guys can see. Look at how good everything looks. Can you believe that I think this looks great on a mobile phone way better than I was anticipating honestly all right, we're parachuting down? Let's go! Oh my gosh, it's terrible! How do I go I want there we go.
Maybe I want to go to structures here we go. Let's get it game on all right. Try to make our way to the house. I got to turn off something it vibrates all the time now. For me, when I'm gathering all these materials I hear a treasure chest too now we're oh, my gosh, we'll just take what we see right here.
I told you guys it's not pretty, but you get a feel for how good it looks. There's a chest. Alright, the loot. We got some loot right. There do another one.
We do another one I, guess, that's it and then check it out. We got our gun, it's hard for me to navigate this on mobile, like I, said I'm, not even good, on a computer with it. This is not my forte, nor would I ever want to play fortnight on mobile, no offense. I know a lot of you guys do, and you're probably freakishly good at it. I swear being a lefty too probably doesn't help me I, don't know why, but though I don't know I'm kind of crazy I guess, but I can't figure out how to jump there.
We go I got to push that button, see all that kind of stuff like what the heck just so much easier on a computer, but there is like auto fire whatever, which helps, but pretty cool right, guy, pretty responsive you happy with the graphics I mean look at it, come on we're a mobile phone to play. I think it's pretty sweet, doing a perfect job, so the storms going to get us in ii just want to show you some gun fires in super responsive, and we're in the storm rip knees. But yeah look at that! Pretty cool right, fluid nice, gameplay, no legs everything looks great on the screen. Now, let's go ahead. Let's look at the camera settings so open up the camera in the bottom right-hand corner.
You can see all the different options and features that we have right here, so we're currently in Auto to the left. We have more where we have slo-mo stop motion, light, tree, piano super macro and hide pixel, the 64 megapixels on the back rear camera. We have then go back to auto. You can see. We have some zoom options.
One two times in 10 times: zoom we have our wide-angle. You can see it's a pretty big difference, guys, even just here in the studio. Look at that. Then we have the cameras on the back, so you can see a preview of original, wide and low light. Video, though, isn't that cool, pretty cool feature right there to see the options right in front of us pretty nifty we can go back, then you can see.
We have video mode, here's our video mode same thing. We have our zoom and we have our wide-angle. Now we have other options at the top, so we can do motion tracking our light, our mic, and then we have our auto adjustments right there. You can see a little light mode is on or auto or off, depending on what we want to do with that, then we have portrait mode. You can see the options that we have for portrait mode.
We can adjust our aperture, and then we have a timer at the top. We have super night mode right here. So again we have a timer at the top. We also have our aspect ratio. We can adjust that like sixteen by nine, and then we have pro mode.
So you can see pro mode right here, all the options we have to adjust that are currently at auto timer flash. We have our zoom again one two or ten times zoom and then for all of these options you can see the Settings gear in the top left-hand corner, so we can adjust our photo size. We can do high pixel if we want 16 or 12 10 for full screen video. Furthermore, we have up to 4k 30 frames, NADP, 720 and 480 video stabilization volume button functions, so we have a lot of options. Furthermore, we can turn a grid on touch to capture.
Furthermore, we could turn the watermark on or off. Furthermore, we can reset it to defaults right there, so really nice camera and all the features that we have. So let's go ahead. Let's look at some of those photos right now. So let's look at the photos and videos that we captured.
Let's open up the gallery right here. We can see them all. Let's start with the night photos. This is super night mode turned on verse off. It makes a huge difference in image: quality, here's another one with it turned off and then, with it turned on same thing.
We have it turned on right here. Verse turned off, but definitely a huge difference. Really amazing. Here's the front-facing camera at night just wanted to show you guys what the quality looks like for that camera. I'm.
Actually impressed did a good job with the background it was after 11:00 p. m. at night, so there just wasn't much light to work with now we have some daylight photos, so this was on a tripod. We have the regular pro mode. There's the ultra-wide mode for the same exact photo huge difference guys you can't even see my ROG Doug makes a sneak appearance with the snout at the bottom left-hand corner there.
He is now with some portrait photos just having fun. Taking some pictures of him he's a good boy, there's just a regular photo. You can see macro photos now. So here's the macro photo look at the detail. Unbelievable then here's our regular Pro photo also on a tripod of the exact same plant.
In the same position, you actually can't even see this one, it's actually to the left of the camera still, which is amazing, that the macro lens can get it when it's pointed at the same thing, but it's not showing up right here at all. It's not that piece. It's to the left of these leaves, so I took one more photo further back, so you guys can see what the macro lens actually captured for us. Now we have a regular photo of the back two times zoom and then ten times, zoom all on a tripod, same exact positioning, then here's our front-facing selfie during the day definitely softens it up a little in the portrait modes, and we can look at some more photos right here. Here's our succulent in pro mode here it is with the macro mode.
Look at how cool that is. Then we have another succulent in Pro Mode there. It is with the macro mode. We have another one, so you're, seeing my plant collection right here, Pro Mode and we have our macro and then our last one pro mode, and then our macro look at that guy's. So cool amazing, the detail that we get right there.
Now, let's go ahead: let's look at some videos, so here's the video quality at night, it's 11:15 p. m. right now, just streetlights. The video is doing a perfect job in this dark environment. The lights on the neighboring houses are not as bright as they appear in the video.
So it's doing a good job, compensating with everything pretty impressive quality this late at night. Here's that same video again with the low light mode turned off, so you can see a difference between the two. Even this is not a bad video. This is pretty realistic to what it looks like, maybe a little darker but looks perfect, not too grainy or anything like that. Here's video from the front-facing camera, so you can see the quality right here, the front-facing camera at 11:15 P.
M. Here's some sample video footage during the day 4k resolution we're just holding it in our hands. You can see the video quality and any stabilization as well for this footage, so you get a feel for what it's like during the daytime, taking 4k videos with the camera. Here's that same video again with the wide-angle lens. Now we are at 1080p now, if we choose to do that, but you can see the same video during the day with the wide-angle lens.
Here's a test, video in 4k, with your standard lens, no zoom, no wide-angle or anything like that. Now, here's the exact same video with the wide angle lens enabled. So we are in 1080p now, instead of 4k, but look at how much more we can fit into the frame of our shot when we use the wide-angle lens to record the same video, our phone has not moved at all we're on the same tripod and everything else with the wide-angle lens to show you the difference between the two options. This is your t, Seattle, 10 pro mic raw audio test, so the audio is doctored or edited in any way. This is what it's going to sound like for you to make or take phone calls using this device.
Now, let's bring it out front and talk to the device as well. You guys can hear with this little further away from right now. Now, let's extend it all the way out here and keep talking to the phones, you guys can hear what that sounds like now, we'll bring it back up to our face as well as we continue to talk into this phone and again, this is your raw unedited audio. Anyway, this is Ben your TTL 10 pro mic 10. Now, let's try out the texting features on the TCL 10 Pro, so I got that phone right here again, it's connected with Google Phi service, and we have an iPhone SE 20/20, that's on visible service, I've, actually reviewed both of those phone service providers on my channel so be sure to check out those videos actually already had this conversation with myself earlier today you can see, but let's go ahead.
Let's start it out: let's send a text there we go. We already got it on the iPhone super quick, let's send one back, but we can also send an emoji if we want- and now you can see- we have these nice time-saving replies right here. So let's go ahead. Let's send one love that feature guys. I use it all the time, so super responsive everything works great, going from Android to iOS no issues at all right there, and we have two different phone service providers.
So that's nice! Let's send some pictures there we go. Let's send that one along it's going to take a couple of seconds to send that. So we can work on sending another picture right here from our TCL phone: try to change it up, just a smudge, so we can see and let's send that picture along, so both have been sent any moment. Now there we go we're starting to receive the iPhone picture on our TCL device. It's coming through Tata.
We just got it no issues right there. Now, let's wait another second for the iPhone to receive the picture that we sent and there we go. We got everything so no issues at all. Really, nice guys everything works great with messaging. So here are my final thoughts on the TCL 10 Pro overall I've had a great experience with this phone, and I've really enjoyed my time with it.
So my favorite feature by far is the screen. The screen is beautiful. It looks great I had high expectations for that screen, because TCL makes great TVs, and I'm glad to see that they were able to replicate that experience in a smartphone other than that. I do think this phone gives you a ton of features for the price, a headphone jack, an IR blaster. We have your USB type C.
We have expandable storage as well with a micro SD card support. We have a built-in fingerprint sensor in the screen. Furthermore, we have that curved screen as well. Furthermore, we have NFC on the back I. Do wish, though, that this phone had wireless charging.
That is a big feature. I feel like it's missing that it should definitely have, but they give you all those camera options. On the back, too, with that great array we got macro, we got 64 megapixels, and we have ultra-wide, so tons, tons, tons of features with this device and did I mention a big battery 4500 William hours. That's really impressive! Now a couple of things I'd like to see improved from this device in the future. I wish it had 5g I wish it was waterproof, had an IP rating for us as well.
So we can know what it's rated to be protected against from dust and from water. I also love the camera options that we get, but I'm not sold on the camera quality. It's not bad by any means, so you'll be really happy with the photos that you get with this, but I think in low-light environments it could be improved. A lot and I really would like to see maybe some faster image processing. It's just not so subtle.
When you take some of those photos, and then it's processing and loading for you, you'll see it right there on the screen. Its it is what it is right, but I'd like to see. Maybe even some continued improvements, because the camera array is awesome. I just like to see the software and the quality being proved a little as well, but the performance is perfect guys if you like to get a phone for gaming, you'll be happy playing fortnight or any of those games on this device. So they definitely deliver in that.
Regards and I want to say the experience overall isn't too bad for not being pure Android, but I still love having pure Android like what you get in the pixel lineup. But again, that's come a long way. ? there's hardly any bloatware on here, and the experience is similar enough. You'll be able to navigate around just fine with no issues also want to point out really happy with the face unlock feature, but I haven't had the best luck with the built-in fingerprint sensor. I need to save some more fingers on there, but it's just not as responsive facial.
Recognition basically worked every time for me, and it's pretty hit or miss for me with the fingerprint, especially on the first try now I did see people online saying that if you want to save your same fingerprint twice, that can help sometimes do so, keep that in mind, but overall, an impressive phone at this price. Well. That concludes our video. Thank you. So much for watching, don't forget.
