The TCL 30 SE is a highly affordable Android that offers a good camera and great battery for the price. But while its software and design also deserve some praise, it’s let down by subpar performance and poor update support.

The TCL 30 SE is a fairly unremarkable affordable phone that’s cheap, distinctive to look at (from certain angles), and lasts a good while in between charges. However, its display lacks sharpness and pop, its performance is poor, and its camera is extremely inflexible.
