TCL 306
TCL 306 is one of the more affordable entry-level smartphones sold by the brand that still features a nice design and finish that makes it look a lot more premium. You get a plastic frame and body to keep the weight down while still maintaining rigidity. You get a triple camera array in the back, although only the main sensors offer decent results in good lighting conditions. There is a relatively large battery to keep it all going, but the charging speeds are too low to be any fun. The processor performance is also decent, but don’t expect it to be a gaming smartphone.
