TCL 30XL Unlocked Cell Phone, 6.82 inch Vast Display, 5000mAh Battery, Android 12 Smartphone, 50MP Rear 13MP Front Camera, 6GB RAM 64GB ROM, US Version, Dual Speaker, LTE 4G Phone, Night Mist

Update:TCL contacted me without prompting (After reading my initial review).I have to say, they are the first vendor in my many years on Amazon (since the days when they only sold books) that I have been spontaneously contacted to correct a problem.Not only did TCL offer me a refund, they upgraded me (without additional charge) to their top of the line TCL 20 Pro 5G with 256 gigs of storagd, 8 gigs of processor RAM, an AMOLED screen (which is nothing shy of stunning), and all the goodies one can ask for, including a 3.5mm headphone jack and a micro SD slot.Upon return of the original, defective phone, TCL stood tall, and treated me like a rock star.Not only did they refund 100% of the cost of the original phone, but the upgrade was free!I am gobsmacked at their giving me ( free, after refunds) their flagship phone.I fully recommend TCL and their awesome customer service, and the new, upgraded phone works flawlessly with Verizon. It arrived factory unlocked, and I just had to call Verizon to activate it.TCL (and the superb customer support representative named "Emma") are, IMHO, the best in thebusiness, and I am completely satisfied with my replacement phone.A small aside, I feel TCL should start using Gorilla Glass, but a simple screen protector (Curved glass for less than $10) does a great job on this phone.Keep up the great customer care and keep making quality products, TCL!D.S. verified customerArrived in undamaged box, but screen has damage right from the fact.Purchased new, not refurbished, should not have been sent a detective phone.Did activate it because I needed a phone, and still do!Also, phone reboots randomly and rejects updates. Phone updated, all updates appeared on screen, but when I reboot the phone, it reverted to original configuration without being reset.Screen damage not caused by me or by abuse. Display is really nice and phone processes quickly, but cannot get around receiving what appears to be a refurb, when I bought direct from Amazon as a full price new phone.Returning for credit, will likely buy a different brand...one with hardened glass screen.I never thought that a manufacturer like TCL would hide the fact the screen is plastic, and flimsy enough that something in the box tapped the screen during shipping (charger?) only to expose that the screen is not hardened glass.The reboot loss of updates issue effects functionality.

Works great and is exactly what I ordered.

Solid phone, does everything you could need for a smartphone. I did not game on it. My only complaint is that the boot up time (time it takes to turn on) is very slow. It can take around 30 seconds to turn on, however once it's on it works great. The battery lasts a long time, I have gone days sometimes weeks without charging it. Keep in mind I'm not using it a lot, 1-2 hours a day max! Final thought, this is a solid smart phone for the price.

Cons,The screen is not pure inky black and has poor side viewing.The cameras are not world class.Feels sluggish at times.You need high sensitivity, low impedance headphones to get the most out of the 3.5mm headphone jackPROsThe screen gets BRIGHT, and when looking at the phone head on, it is vivid and clearThe camera app is intuitive, easy to use, and pro mode is a bunch of fun... for me anyway!after 3-4 hours of updates, disabling\removing bloatware and unwanted programs, the phone feels responsive and I'm able to play hill climb racing 2 without any hiccups.As a phone goes, everyone says my voice is clear, not much low end in the ear speaker from the other person, but it goes loud and it is clear, same goes for the stereo speakers at the bottom, speakerphone works well, there is no time warp delay, or hearing yourself when you call.I believe I have actually upgraded my phone, as a phone. My note 20 ultra 5g SUCKED as a phone constantly dropping calls.This phone feels premium in the had and the cameras are protected by the thinnest of phone cases. the clear included case works perfectly fine!______________________________________________________________________________I am very happy with it, overall.10/10 FOR PRICE/PERFORMANCEwould recommend this phone to anyone who does not care if things are INSTANT. I think they used SLOW lpddr, paired with slow mmlc 64GB creating a unique bandwidth problem. The pages scroll much better after things are loaded. (I'm using the phone for texting, conference, and yep, phone calls all are instant with no lag whatsoever, same with home-screen/phone/settings navigation all really smooth)
