Coming from a broken LG G7 ThinQ (Qualcomm Snapdragon 845 processor), to the TCL 10L (Snapdragon 665), raw CPU performance is roughly half of the highest-end modern flagship CPUs.
If you are a big mobile gamer, this phone may not fit your needs. But for my workload; checking emails, watching YouTube, listening to music, texting, using Snapchat and other social media apps, etc, I noticed NO difference in everyday use compared to my old G7 ThinQ. The 6GB of RAM is very nice, and I have never maxed it out.
Pros:
-Great price ($190 at time of purchase and review)
-6GB of RAM is plenty for the average user
-Large, bright screen. Resolution is essentially an ultra-wide 1080p. Nothing that will blow you away, but it gets the job done a lot better than I was expecting.
-Android 11 operating system with little to no bloatware/preinstalled junk
-Worked instantly with my carrier T-Mobile, just popped in the SIM and it worked!
-Shipped very fast for me, ordered late at night, arrived at 8am the next day!
-Headphone jack!
-Front and rear facing cameras are decent for the price
-USB C
-Very fast and accurate fingerprint sensor
Cons:
-Snapdragon 665 processor will not satisfy enthusiasts who want the fastest of mobile processors.
-No wireless charging
-4G cell network compatibility, no 5G.
-Volume buttons are right next to the power button; I often accidentally lock my phone when trying to adjust volume.
TL;DR:
Amazing value for money. Not high-end by any means, but an excellent mid-range smartphone for the average user.

Decent Phone for a Great Price
I have owned a 64 GB TCL 10 for nearly 8 months, and I can honestly say it is probably one of the better phones I have owned.The phone is somewhat larger than my previous Huawei Mate SE, but it is slim enough to fit in one's pocket comfortably.The screen is also decently sized for watching videos. I bought a set of Supershieldz glass screen protectors, and they have protected my phone satisfactorily from some nasty falls.The phone is able to process at 6 GB RAM. The 64 GB internal storage is enough for the few apps I download, but the factory apps and settings consumed nearly a third of storage after 5 months use.The display certainly lives up to TCL standards. The camera is more or less as good as any mid-tier smartphone. The four lenses provide much better stability for recording videos than my previous smartphones, but video audio seems subpar.That being said, the TCL 10 has a meaty speaker. I can listen to music, videos on YouTube and other streaming services from just about anywhere in my apartment.On a single charge, the battery let's me get through the day even with frequent calling or internet use. The fast charge feature makes the TCL 10 ergonomically feasible, at any rate.Overall, the TCL 10 is a quality and affordable phone I would recommend to anyone looking to save money.
