TCL is a brand that has been able to work in the “in the background” region, being responsible for Alcatel and, for some years, Blackberry.Now, with that learning added to their experience in making panels globally, they reach the Peruvian market with their own telephone catalog.NiUSGEEK has the TCL 10 pro to the test and this is our opinion.

We are not facing a traditional design in the mid -range.What stands out to first impression is the extreme curvature of the edges on the screen, which bring the finish of this equipment to a higher range. Me recuerda mucho, en corte, al P30 pro de Huawei de two019.

We have several details to highlight.In addition to the volume and block buttons on the right side, a useful convenience button is included on the left side that can be configured by touches, both for the Google assistant and for the opening of the camera or, as in my case, turn on thesingle touch flashlight.

In the upper part, to the other end of the entry for headphones, the infrared emitter is located.Already at the base, we have the SIM tray next to the USB-C port and the only speaker of the device.

The rear cover also has its dedication, with that black degraded plot that complements the rigorous quadruple chamber system flanked by two LED flashes.To the touch, the equipment feels very good, and the screen curve is complemented by the rear chassis, achieving a comfortable effect.A pity that we do not have water protection.

Another surprise when we turn on the team.We know the TCL capacity for televisions and monitors panel.Good brightness, tremendous reproduction of colors and vision angles without loss.We also have a passive "always on" mode that shows us the notification icons, but does not allow us to interact with them as the case of Motorola.

Sin embargo, hay un tema que resalta frente a la competencia: contamos solo con una tasa de refresco de 60 hercios – ni siquiera 90 -, que palidece ante un Redmi Note 10 Pro o un Galaxy A5two.I do not say it is a sin, but we are in a hard season for phones with 60 -kic soda rates.

However, to replace this lack, TCL bets on its owner nxtvision technology, an intelligent Boost for content display that allows better quality for photos, videos and games.We lose something, but we gain optimization.

Despite the 60s, I can attest that the panel responds quite well to the touch and looks without problems for multimedia.Only it is surprised that, in that price range, we do not have more soda rate.

I am always excited to try new personalized versions of Android, and my coexistence with TCL UI (v3.0.8ahh on Android 11 until the publication of the review) has been interesting, because there are several additions that can be useful for the user.

In general, TCL optimizes with light animations the Android 11 interface and adds picturesque details to the process, in which this rectangle always appears that is part of the TCL logo.Dark mode is well optimized and we have several tools very hand, although I miss the possibility of reducing the size of the on -screen elements.

"Smart Key" is the section that allows us to configure the functions of the convenience button, which respond to a touch, two touches or a prolonged touch.Eye that the list of options in huge, and covers from the activation of Nxtvision or the Google assistant, through the flashlight, scan QR codes, optimize the equipment, open the remote control or, as in my case, turn on the flashlight and open the camera.

The "Edge Bar" is also available to configure fast pitchers, contacts and a rule.Here we do not have a community of developers who add more functions in this section, so we only have the rule.

The multitasking adds a scanning gesture to the upper corners to use the divided screen or create floating apps and optimize the panel space.Unlike other proposals, this function is added to a more natural element, and it is clear that gestures are an excellent way to energize the use of the equipment, instead of following menús.

The "smart manager" is the optimizer that, natively, incorporates TCL UI and that has a direct access in the upper right corner to make a complete diagnosis of the equipment - this do it when you have time, not anywhere or time -And, from the Dashboard at the bottom, review the memory and battery, as well as manage the beginning of the applications and the presence of notifications in the system.

It has been interesting to review the TCL UI conditions.Additional detail: the remote control software uses geolocation to determine what controls are available for equipment in our country.

It is not the best camera set in the market, but meets the minimum demands of a multiple system: a 64MP lens, a wide angle lens and a 5MP macro.Already with that, we have a balance in quality issues.Now we go to details.

In general terms, 64mp lens work is outstanding, with a good colors and depth colors.I must confess that the HDR is efficient and that I have not had a major problem to give a little more to the zoom that, although we do not have a lens dedicated to teleobjective, do not degrade so much in the cut and allows us to climb up to 10x.

The wide angle lens maintains the range of colors of the main condition is favorable light, although we cannot use it with the night mode or in the pro mode.However, it is efficient and of good image quality for casual photos.

The 5MP macro lens goes well, although I had to strive a bit to regulate the automatic approach. Gracias a esa cantidad de megapíxeles, la claridad de las fotos es evidente frente a sistemas de twoMP.

At night, the wide angle lens accumulates some purple noise in the dark areas, although nothing serious if we maneuver within the range of light that, by software, the equipment allows.Already for the "night mode" we depend on the main sensor and, in that field, complies.Although it throws down the speed of the shot, the result does not distort so much.

The front camera is going well and achieves a good white balance, in addition to adding a little contrast to the final result.At night it is very bright, and that serves as a lot for backlight photos.

For video, we have 4K recording at 30fps, although this mode is not well optimized to always have it active. Afortunadamente, tenemos grabación a 1two0 cuadros en 1080p y 960 en 7two0p, por lo que contamos con un buen puñado de opciones para la creación de contenido.A very balanced camera system, in conclusion.

En este caso, contamos con un Snapdragon 675 que, pese a ser serie 6, rinde bastante bien y logra un rendimiento en GeekBench por encima del A5two de Samsung y su Snapdragon 7two0G, sobre todo en multitarea. En combinación con los 6GB de RAM y la memoria UFS two.1, we are facing an obvious fluidity team.

For games like Airline Commander, the render was very fast, so we will not have problems loading a bit heavy environments.When I tried to lift Genshin Impact, it was noted that the team reheated a little more than.

On connectivity issues, the 4G and the Wi -Fi AC are the connection supports and they are going well.In my case, he achieved a couple quota of connection to my house network, but I missed obtaining figures above 30Mbps with the active 4g.Bluetooth was very stable with headphones and watches, and geolocation walked within the expected.

The fingerprint sensor works very well, despite not being in a comfortable position for activation -a little above it would be better -and facial unlocking is really fast.Good on security issues.

The multimedia meets the panel, thanks to its HDR10 and NXTVision compaterary for audiovisual content optimization.The bad thing is that we only have a speaker, and that takes away dimension to what we see on streaming platforms or networks.

A good team, with a good screen and good cameras should be perfect ... right?

We have 4500 mAh battery, but it is a challenge to get to the day of use, in my tests I have been able worries.In addition, we have 18W load speed, if we can call it "fast".In a little less than 50 minutes we will have half of energy, which gives us a complete load in an hour and 45 minutes on average.It is, evidently, the weakest point of my experience with TCL 10 pro.

Here comes to carve a necessary element: the price.By 1549 soles, it is located in a very difficult price range, since it competes with equipment that exceeds it in autonomy, cameras and soda rate on the screen. No es un mal equipo, pero creo que apostar por un dispositivo anunciado hace un año – se lanzó internacionalmente en mayo del two0two0 - no resultaría tan conveniente frente a procesadores actualizados y sistemas con actualizaciones más veloces.I liked it, but the battery worries me. Por lo demás, y si el precio baja, iría por él mientras echo el ojo al precio de un Redmi Note 10 Pro o un A5two de Samsung… o un equipo con 5G de menor precio.

* Boarding equipment by TCL Peru from August 16 to the publication of the review.Market price: 1549 soles.
