TCL 501 BLACK

I ordered this for a friend who is very pleased with it. It was easy to set up and works well.

terribly slow and impossible to use. never connects to GPS location. Difficulty connecting to the data/internet too. Really do not recommend, I thought I was safe because it had the most up to date android version, but I was mistaken.

I've been on the look out for a cheap phone to use a remote control. Not only is this Android 14 (note it is the Go edition, which has some limitations) but it's at the price point of other Chinese cheap phones that don't work, where this one actually does! It is a bit sluggish and your not going to playing many games at a high FPS but for a remote control for Tuya, Roku etc... It's the perfect device at under £50! Screen is bright and viewing angels are great. Love the idea of a removable battery so it's replaceable if it degrades. Cheap cheerful and functional phone, oh and as a bonus it supports 5G!

Giving this 4 out of 5 stars overall. It can be a little sluggish at times, so it’s not the fastest phone out there, but for the price it still offers really good value. Where it shines is as a first phone, especially for kids. It does everything they need without breaking the bank, which makes it a great option for Christmas or as a starter phone. Also, if it gets dropped or damaged like our sons did, it’s not an expensive nightmare to replace. For that reason alone, it’s a very practical buy and one I’d still recommend.

This phone no NFC feature. But why preload the Google wallet? It's very tricky. Do not upload the card details. Price for this phone and quality are acceptable. But no charger and protect rubber case attached.

It did start to crash when trying to use complex apps and the camera isn't what you would expect from a premium phone but it's not a premium phone.

I check my phone a handful of times a day and I have become fed up of the unnecessary additions to high-end phones. This phone has a good processor (MediaTek G36) and Android version 14 Go for all apps needed. The camera does not produce high quality image or video so avoid if this is necessary. A removable battery and a headphone jack are very nice features for a modern phone, you can easily replace the battery if there is a fault and are not forced to go wireless for audio use. The battery life is exceptional, the phone is operating off one charge since first boot (phone arrived with half charge so fully charge it before booting). Overall you will not find a better value phone for today's needs if you do not want to be glued to your phone.

brought this as a work phone 5 months ago because i'm sick of breaking expencive phones on the job. its held up well until now its a very tough and durable phone. the battery life is pretty terrible and its slow but it does everything you need from a phone started having an issue a few days ago. it displays a message saying has a verity curruption error and now the phone constantly restarts every time you use it for more then 5 mins making it nearly unusable. For people looking to buy a tcl 501 it is worth getting if you need a temporary budget phone but thats about all it is a cheap temp

produit convenant surtout pour le prix. simple et effectief sans plus.
