TCL 30 E Unveiled With Helio G25
The TCL 30 E is powered by the Helio G25, a 12 nm chipset with eight A53 cores, a GE8230 GPU. It is paired with 3 GB of RAM (LPDDR4X) and 64 storage (eMMC), plus a dedicated microSD slot.
The display is a 6.52” LCD with 720 x 1,600 px resolution (20:9). Despite a lower price tag, you still get the same 50+2+2 MP camera on the back and a fingerprint reader. The front camera is down to a 5 MP sensor (1/5”), however, with a 76° lens.
This is a 4G phone with VoLTE and VoWiFi support, the phone comes in single and dual-SIM versions. Wi-Fi 4 (n) is supported, along with Bluetooth 5.0 and NFC. The USB-C port is wired for USB 2.0 speeds.
The fingerprint reader is on the back.
Finally, battery capacity is the same at 5,000 mAh and you still get a 10W charger, but this time it is as fast as it gets for charging (there’s no 15W support).
