TCL 40R
TCL 40R is a nice upgrade to the regular 40 series base model, which features a nice and stylish design and aesthetic that makes it feel more premium than its price tag. You get a solid plastic body that features a flat front and back panel. The rear panel has been given a nice light purple matte finish, which features a diagonal design that shimmers in direct sunlight. You also get a smaller camera module, with the bottom part painted in purple colour to make it blend in with the body. The part that houses the actual camera sensors is blacked out and contrasts nicely with the rest of the panel.
