Hey Chaps! Do you buy budget or flagship phones??

[lvill]

I love the fact you're giving this budget phone review the same video quality as those of high end ones. Keep it up! ☺️

Currently watching this video on a TCL 40 se and it's great 👍

As a budget buyer, I'd be looking for basic value for money and the 40SE brings that, as long as I could get the 256GB model (but Amazon say it's not available until June). In this price bracket, not only is the memory availability as good as you can get, but it's also got Android 13. I want it to avoid obsolescence for longer - I don't change my phone often - budget buyers are often very infrequent buyers and that's what draws me to the 40SE. As for 5G, unless you live in a thoroughly wired-up remote-control home, I don't see a huge need, so I could forego it here and save some money.

I actually like the sunlight mode. Sometimes I go outside and I see my smartphone screen become dark to the point where it's indistinguishable to a completely switched off screen and I have to indoors to manually adjust screen brightness. The automatic screen brightness function is a hit and miss; too bright at dark and too dim at daylight.

In the end I like TCL 40 R 5G as it have that background desaturation function that can be really useful for interviews

That Dark Background for the AI Color Video Mode seems fun, so the TCL 40 R 5G is obviously my favorite.

I am very impressed, I currently have an iPhone 13pro and although it's good, the majority of its brags, I rarely use! I do benefit from 5G though as I appreciate the excellent advantages of the speedy network in my area. I really like the idea of the TCL 40R5G which I think, covers all the bases with very few compromises, looks lovely, and is realistically priced and I am excited to see phones like these coming to UK shores offering realistic affordable alternatives.

I like the TCL 40 SE as it’s there is so much technology for such a great price. It’s hard to know how they do it!

[XDSteven]

If I had to choose it would be the TCL 40R 5G with the better chip and the 90hz screen would be awesome

[markfrost]

I my TCL phone. Dropped it HARD a million times and she's still going strong and my SE is lightning quick and has amazing video on a large screen. I bought it 2 years ago for 180 bucks..I thenk got qlink wireless which wound up being Tmobile high speed unlimited everything for free every month...so for years now I have this amazing phone and unlimited service for FREE. Get the SE. Does what a phone 4 times the money can do. The ONLY thing I think mine lacks is wireless charging...but again..GREAT phone!

I'm actually going to get one of these budget phones, I love the TCL 40 SE. Very nice big screen and big enough memory for me, Great video thank you.

I've been impressed with what I've seen and heard about tcl's tv's so had a browse at there phone range.
I usually buy a mid range mobile phone, but have to say I'm impressed at the value / performance ratio of this phone.
I've just ordered the purple version, not my usual preference but it looked great compared to grey.
My 1 year old Motorola has disintegrated on me, first the fingerprint reader and now the charging port is playing up, so I'm happy to come across your review.

[itsdan]

What's a better brand to go for tcl or motorola!

[pigeohreal]

The 40 se in purple looks so good. The camera also looks really good

[ericaquinones]

You explained everything so well on your video. Thanks for the insight 😊

[qwertytilibird]

I really like the TCL 40R 5G. Has the two main things the 40SE lacks, better processor and 5G support.

[nobleigbokwe]

I think mobile phone has become part of our lives. The camera features enables us to take pictures for memory sake and the internal storage which is now handy makes storing these memories easier.
This mobile device TCL 40 se has caught my fancy especially because of its camera, 256 storage and battery. 50mp camera sensor is just amazing I could snap the whole world with it ☺️☺️
256 storage is enormous enough to store thousands of good pictures and memories of specia l moments. The battery is enough to last through the day. This is just the perfect device for me, for anyone who wants something nice, fast, convenient and quality. TCL is doing great and I love them for their efforts.

My galaxy S10 I've had for 3 years has given up but looking for a cheap temporary replacement and saw the TCL 40 Se going for about £100 and as always I do a bit of research first, really interested in this phone after your review thanks, only annoyance is no telephoto and wide angle as the camera is what I always base my upgrades on. I may have to change direction for this one as will do all the other things I need to do. The 6gb ram one is more interesting gthanthe 4gb ram version and also comes with kore storage, the purple looks lovely too! Thanks for the video

[ajeigbeferanmi]

I'll love the TCL 40SE I'll love to explore the 50mp Ai triple camera .I also love that it's really affordable .

[tedip]

A very fascinating budget smartphone that I really want to have one. The design is modern and attractive having a big screen to enjoy videos and films. I love its dual speakers with surrounding sound effects. A nice and fantastic cell phone.
