TCL 10 Pro: Best Midrange Android Phone

TCL is behind some of the latest BlackBerry releases, as well as hundreds of other white-label phones for carriers across the globe. If the TCL 10 Pro is anything to go by, however, the company should put its name in the smartphone spotlight more often. With solid performance, good battery life, a sleek design, and a lovely display, the 10 Pro offer a nearly flagship-level experience for significantly less than handsets from other manufacturers, and it earns our Editors’ Choice for midrange Android phones.

DESIGN, DISPLAY, AND DURABILITY

No matter its price, the TCL 10 Pro is one of the most attractive devices on the market, from its minimalist camera stack to its smoky-gray-ombre color. The phone measures 6.24 by 2.85 by 0.36 inches (HWD) and comes in at 6.60 ounces, which feels perfectly balanced in the hand. It has a nice heft without being heavy and a good grip, thanks to its matte finish.

On the front of the phone you’ll find a 6.47-inch curved AMOLED display with a teardrop notch for the front-facing camera. The resolution comes in at 2,340 by 1,080, for a pixel density of 398ppi.

As the world’s second-largest television manufacturer, TCL knows how to make a good display, and you can really see that on this phone. Colors are lush, highlights pop, and shadows are rich and inky, thanks to the custom Nxtvision display engine. Next to the 5.6-inch Google Pixel 3a, which has a higher pixel density (441ppi), the 10 Pro looks more vivid (yet accurate), while the Pixel comes offas cool.

Nxtvision also automatically upconverts SDR to HDR, earning the phone Netflix HDR10 certification. Our only complaint is that the display can be a little difficult to see in direct sunlight.
