Introductions

TCL 20B is the beautiful device that already officially announces at September 2021, this device adopting modern design with added multiple great features that can be use all their user directly.

The TCL 20B weight is 178 gram and the body dimension of TCL 20B is 164.7 x 74.7 x 8 mm which is this the ideal physical body number dimension for modern devices today and the for the last introduction before we can do to the deeper things is the device also available on the Gray, Violet color user options.

But, the color options availability itself may be different on the specific market country, some the device color option will only available for limited number such as because the specific event time, after the event ended the color option may be not available for the buyer.

Build Quality

The TCL 20B using Plastic combination body material, that is very common build material typically found on the entry-level up to middle level devices on the market, plastic material body is not really bad on this modern era, but still this material body it's not solid on hand, look cheap and it may easily to scratch. So, the plastic body material should not be use for flagship devices on higher price range, if you found this material on the latest flagship device it should be minus thing for the user.

Screen & User Navigation

Display screen configuration is very important factor for the user experience, in this TCL 20B the setup of display screen are ideal which is bring 720 x 1600 pixels on the screen resolution combined with 6.52" screen size. Then the display screen also have several configuration that are 20:9 ratio, (~269 ppi density).

Other the important thing on the display screen is the display panel hardware, good display panel hardware will drive more best experience to the user. TCL 20B using very common display panel hardware that is IPS LCD, it's good if used by entry-level to middle level devices. But, it should be minus when used by flagship device with higher prices product if there no any special screen technology innovation that implemented.

The physical button on TCL 20B is made very clear by it's own function, also for design and positioning of the physical button is ideal and can be easily used by user for navigating the device, such as for powering up device or adjusting the volume master.

CPU & GPU Performance

Processor is very vital hardware for processing any task on the device software, this is also included for the Graphic hardware that have main function for rendering graphic image on the device, the both of hardware is related each other every times, on the TCL 20B we can see this device use Mediatek Helio P22 for CPU model and PowerVR GE8320 for GPU model, are them good enough?

Yes, they are a good combination, this CPU and GPU setup can be use for handling multiple purpose on this device, such as for run some games, opening some apps, also have good performance when processing and rendering 3D image on the specific level that they can do at the maximal limit.

Memory

Besides CPU and GPU hardware, memory hardware is also very important sector for getting best experience for user when use that device for any multiple purpose, the memory sector itself are combination from the RAM capacity, internal memory storage and support for external expansion memory, then does TCL 20B is good enough on term of memory performance?

When we see the memory combination specification we can see the TCL 20B have 4GB amount of RAM, then also have 64GB internal memory storage capacity and the user can get more storage in this device, because TCL 20B does support external memory expansion with using MicroSDXC type.

Thus, is TCL 20B have a good memory performance? from the spec said TCL 20B it's good for use to any purpose in the modern use, but it's also depending from the user perspective need.

Camera

Just like other modern smart devices that exist today, TCL 20B also have camera feature for bringing best experience to their user, on the main / rear camera feature we can found Dual Setup camera configuration feature that exist on there.

The main / rear camera specification on TCL 20B are (Main) 50 MP, PDAF for the main camera configuration setup. There was also available for secondary camera feature with spec (Depth) 2 MP, f/2.4.

TCL 20B have Single Setup for front / selfie camera feature. The main selfie camera spec on TCL 20B are 8 MP.

The mobile network technology that using on TCL 20B are 2G / 3G / 4G, user can freely choose the mode of mobile network on this device, because they can switch easily every times when the user needed.

Connectivity features

Actually, the best device for the modern use it should have multiple connectivity features on it, on the basic perspective the TCL 20B are already have complete connectivity features.

The wireless connectivity on TCL 20B that are already supporting by the Wi-Fi technology with the complete spec Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n and also supported by Bluetooth version 5.0, A2DP, LE. But sadly, there was no NFC feature on the TCL 20B.

TCL 20B also supported by using wired connectivity that use USB Type-C Port technology. So, this feature can be very useful to their user for connecting TCL 20B to the other device such as Desktop Computer or other.

OS & Security

Because TCL 20B designed for the modern user, that mean TCL 20B should be operated by the smart Operating System, and the good thing is the TCL 20B already use smart OS that known as Android 11. The vendor of this device also make some customization from the basic Android 11 firmware then known as TCL UI ROM, the goal of this thing will increasing more best experience for the user, because the more feature will be added on the TCL UI ROM, that may can't be found on the basic OS.

Now, how about the security technology on TCL 20B? The TCL 20B have a powerful security protection because this device using default security system from the software OS then combined with the Fingerprint (at the back) security hardware technology, then it will give more secure from the stranger access.

Speaker & Sound

Speaker hardware on TCL 20B is very same as most other devices, there was a speaker hardware with using good loudspeaker quaility for calling and play some music and the other feature on this sector that are TCL 20B fully supported by 3.5mm jack technology, which is very good by the way.

Battery

TCL 20B comes with 4000 mAh battery capacity and have Li-Po battery model, this battery specification basically can be use for all long day use in normal term. But, take it easy if the device on the low battery state, because TCL 20B already support Fast charging 18W technology, in the mean the charging time will go shortly depending on how big the (Watt) number on the fast charging feature, normally battery can be fully under 2 hours, 1 hours or 40 minutes.

This device also comes USB Type-C that it's very good because the USB Type-C is the universal charger Port that can be easy suitable for most charger cable on the most modern phone that exist today.
