The TCL 20 Pro 5G is the most powerful of the three. It succeeds the last year’s TCL 10 Pro and offers notable upgrades in the areas of chipset, camera, and connectivity. It boasts a 6.67-inch curved AMOLED display. While not a high refresh panel, it promises a great viewing experience thanks to the PixelWorks i6 display processor, 100% DCI-P3 wide color gamut coverage, and 700nits peak brightness. Under the hood, the phone is powered by the Qualcomm Snapdragon 750G SoC, paired with 6GB of RAM and sizeable 256GB flash storage. On the back, you’ll find a quad-camera island comprising a 48MP Sony IMX582 sensor with Optical Image Stabilization, a 16MP ultra-wide shooter, a 5MP macro, and 2MP depth lenses.

The phone has a 4,500mAh battery and supports 18W wired and 15W wireless fast charging. Other highlights include 5G support, an in-display fingerprint scanner, Hi-Res Audio certification, NFC, Bluetooth 5.1, and Android 11.

The TCL 20S, on the other hand, isn’t as enticing as the Pro model but has some solid hardware for a budget phone. You get a 6.67-inch full HD+ AMOLED, Qualcomm Snapdragon 665 chipset, 4GB RAM, 128GB storage, and a large 5,000mAh battery with 18W fast charging. For optics, there are four sensors on the back, headlined by a 64MP primary shooter, flanked by an 8MP ultra-wide cam, and two 2MP depth and macro lenses. The phone runs Android 11 out-of-the-box and has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner.

Finally, the TCL 20 SE is an entry-level product, offering a 6.82-inch HD+ LCD, Qualcomm Snapdragon 460, 4GB RAM, 128GB storage, a 48MP primary shooter, a 5,000mAh battery, USB Type-C, and a rear-mounted fingerprint reader.
