Ok value for the price

I'd say this phone goes hand in hand with Galaxy A52s in terms of features and performance. I was going to write a negative review, but I've just realized that A52s is twice as expensive, so read on.The primary reason for buying this phone was the mat screen. I own TCL NXTPAPER 11 tablet, so I expected the same thing but in a phone form. Unfortunately, I'm disappointed. I knew from other reviews that the phone case is plastic, I didn't care about it, but it caught me by surprise how fragile the screen is. I went for a walk putting two phones together into a pocket of my jacket. No sharp edges or anything, yet the TCL screen got scratched! Luckily only in one corner, but now I know that I can't handle this phone like a typical one. This is not a crack-type scratch, ... MoreI'd say this phone goes hand in hand with Galaxy A52s in terms of features and performance.

Luckily only in one corner, but now I know that I can't handle this phone like a typical one. This is not a crack-type scratch, the special surface has been rubbed off, as if it had been sanded with fine sandpaper. I'll need to use it with screen protector (which beats the purpose) or carry it in protective case. I've never used screen protectors, I just take care not to put a phone in a pocket with other random object, like keys, and it's always been fine. TCL doesn't state any scratch resistance class, now I know why.Bottom line, if you've already have a good phone but would like to buy this one because of the screen, I don't recommend it. It's better to just buy a mat screen protector for your current phone.PS. I've been also testing the 5G reception. It's quite ok, but in places with far from perfect reception the phone had much higher ping than A52s. I haven't use it yet in a real situation but I'm afraid that the higher ping can make it inadequate for zoom calls. We want a fast phone, with 5G, to be able to use it for working on the go after all, right?

Rate nail of a phone not worth a tenner

Bought just over a month ago doesn't hold signal, constantly having to restarted the phone as the 5g network doesn't work properly.

The phone is getting hot

The phone is getting hot all the time despite the app and system updates and despite the fact that there's no app working in background
