TCL 505: A Budget Smartphone with Big Battery Life

The TCL 505 is a budget-friendly smartphone that prioritizes a large battery and a bigger display for an affordable price. Here’s a breakdown of its specs:

  • Display: 6.75-inch IPS LCD panel with 720 x 1600 pixels resolution – This offers a large screen size for enjoyable media consumption, but the resolution is on the lower side.
  • Processor: MediaTek Helio G36 – This processor is suitable for light tasks and basic gaming, similar to the TCL 501. Don’t expect high-end performance.
  • RAM: 4GB – This is a step up from the TCL 501, allowing for smoother multitasking compared to just 2GB.
  • Storage: 64GB or 128GB – This provides more storage options than the TCL 501, giving you some breathing room for apps and media. No microSD card slot is mentioned, so choose your storage variant wisely.
  • Cameras: Dual rear camera system (50MP main + 2MP depth) and a 5MP front-facing camera – The main rear camera boasts a higher resolution than the TCL 501, but it still has a basic setup.
  • Battery: 5010mAh with 10W charging – This is the phone’s strong suit, offering a large battery capacity for potentially long battery life on a single charge. The charging speed, however, is fairly slow.
  • Software: Android 14 – This ensures a reasonably up-to-date software experience.

In summary, the TCL 505 targets users looking for a large display and long battery life at an affordable price. The phone offers a slight upgrade in RAM and storage compared to the TCL 501, but keeps a similar processor and basic camera setup. Keep in mind the lower display resolution and slow charging speed.

Features

Sensors Sensors are electronic components that detects and responds to some type of input from the physical environment. The specific input could be light, heat, motion, moisture, pressure and location, The output is generally a signal that is converted to use in computing systems, a location sensor, such as a GPS receiver is able to detect current location of your electronic device. Fingerprint (side-mounted; market/region dependent), accelerometer
Virtual proximity sensing

BATTERY

Battery Type Battery Type => Cell phones run on various kinds of batteries depending on the manufacturer, phone size or shape and features. There are basically four types of cell phone batteries => Lithium Polymer, Lithium Ion, Nickel Metal Hydride and Nickel Cadmium. Li-Ion (Lithium Ion)
Charging The functionality responsible for recharging batteries in portable devices, such as mobile phones, significantly influences both battery lifespan and the practicality of daily product usage. The charging process, encompassing factors like voltage, current, and completion actions, is contingent upon the battery's size and type. Contemporary battery chargers dynamically adjust charging parameters based on the battery's current charging state. Charging an empty battery poses no safety risk, allowing for a quicker charging process. Consequently, many charging speed benchmarks, including ours, specify the battery level achieved after a 30-minute session on an empty battery. Standard chargers with a power output of 5V/1A, equivalent to 5W, serve as a baseline, with anything surpassing this speed classified as quick or fast charging. 10W wired
