The TCL 10 5G is an odd handset. It has looks designed by committee, but comes carrying an attractive shopping list of internals, with a capable camera in particular. But with very strong competition at this price point, it doesn’t do enough to rise above the rest.

A lot of compromises have been made to produce a 5G-ready phone that can retail at the same price as the TCL 10 Pro, resulting in a device that simply can't keep up where it counts. The TCL 10 5G might have some allure to those who want a fast performing phone at a reasonable price, but the downgraded screen, lacklustre cameras and some niggling bugs and design quirks, are simply too difficult to overlook – particularly when there are better 5G phones out there at a cheaper price.
