Editor Rating
3.2/5

TCL 305 is a nice addition to the popular 30 series of entry-level smartphones sold by the brand, which features a basic plastic body that is solid and lightweight at the same time. The rear and front panels are both flat, with the plastic frame wrapped in a rubber-like soft-touch material to make it easier to hold. A shiny strip of plastic runs around the edge of the rubber material in the rear, which marks a clear physical border and gives the device a nice tactile feel. The rear panel itself has been given a very subtle matte finish, with the only thing interrupting the gradient being the name of the brand. The fingerprint sensor is also located on the rear, above the centre of the panel.

Bottom Line

TCL 305 is a simple and affordable entry-level smartphone that features a decent display and processor, average cameras, and a large but slow-charging battery to keep it all going.
