The TCL 30 SE also known as by the device model series 6165H / 6156H1 / 6165A / 6165A1 this model series must be unique, so the user can easily find any other support from the internet, because when only using the main device name it may difficult for several user. Then next for TCL 30 SE weight is 190 gram and the body dimension of TCL 30 SE is 165.2 x 75.5 x 8.9 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, Blue 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 30 SE 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 30 SE the setup of display screen are ideal which is bring 720 x 1600 pixels on the screen resolution combined with 6.52" screen size.

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 30 SE 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 30 SE 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.

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 30 SE is good enough on term of memory performance?

When we see the memory combination specification we can see the TCL 30 SE have 4GB amount of RAM, then also have 64GB / 128GB internal memory storage capacity and the user can get more storage in this device, because TCL 30 SE does support external memory expansion with using MicroSDXC type.

Thus, is TCL 30 SE have a good memory performance? from the spec said TCL 30 SE 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 30 SE also have camera feature for bringing best experience to their user, on the main / rear camera feature we can found Triple Setup camera configuration feature that exist on there.

Because TCL 30 SE designed for the modern user, that mean TCL 30 SE should be operated by the smart Operating System, and the good thing is the TCL 30 SE already use smart OS that known as Android 12. The vendor of this device also make some customization from the basic Android 12 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.
