TCL Tab Pro 5G 10 Inch Tablet @ 399.99

TCL only launched an attractive 10.36 inch Android tablet chosen TCL Tab Pro 5G. As its name indicates, it is a 5G-enabled tablet, merely what makes information technology stand out is its 399.99 toll that makes information technology the nearly affordable 5G tablet on the market.

Powered by the Verizon network, the tablet offers excellent "always-on" connectivity. Having 5G "e'er-on" broadband is much more than comfy than hunting for WiFi hotspots if that's the situation you're in and if you can beget the actress 5G subscription.

Looking at the technical specifications, the TCL Tab Pro 5G looks very decent for multimedia usage and basic productivity (web, email, social media, youtube). The 10.36-inch display has a 2000×1200 resolution, and the dual-speakers should requite users a good movie experience.

I'grand disappointed by the absence of three.5mm audio jack connector (a costless adapter is included) on such a large device, but it seems like the earth has moved on, and I already take a agglomeration of adapters.

The high-capacity 8000 mAh battery is a very dainty highlight as battery life has e'er been 1 of the reasons why people buy Android tablets over a cheap laptop. TCL says it'south plenty to employ the tablet for "17 hours of mixed-use", and depending on the display effulgence, information technology'south conceivable for a best-example scenario.

The tablet tin as well serve as a battery bank to charge your telephone, although it'due south not clear at what (charging) speed.

Inside, y'all'll notice a mid-range Snapdragon 480 5G (4GB of RAM) hardware platform. It's not as performant as tablets such equally the Galaxy Tab S7 FE or the iPad mini 5G for sure, merely that'south one of the reasons why the TCL tablet is so affordable.

For gaming purposes, you lot can run casual games and many older 3D games with decent graphics. The most mod games would run slower, and the solution would be looking for a faster (more expensive) tablet.

The 13MP rear photographic camera and 8MP selfie camera seem similar entry-level options, and I doubtable they wouldn't perform too as phone cameras in the sub-$400 segment. Nosotros have the CAMERA HW benchmark for that and this seems similar an obvious conclusion. However, the cameras should be fine for video calls and casual photography. In fact, most of these 8MP selfie cameras are much better than laptops' for zoom videos, so if that's your utilise case, it'southward great.

The 64GB of flash storage capacity seems pocket-sized to me, but you can add inexpensive microSD storage, so it's a decent tradeoff, merely continue in heed that microSD isn't every bit fast as the internal storage.

Overall, the strength of the TCL Tab Pro 5G is that it is the but game in town in its sub-$400 10-inch tablet with 5G category, and then that makes upwardly for the several tradeoffs to reach that level of affordability.
