There’s a 6.67-inch Full-HD+ screen and a quad camera that does a great job. We also see a very powerful Snapdragon 860 chipset and 5160 mAh battery. On paper, this is the most comprehensive.

Which one to choose?

Which smartphone to choose is mainly a personal choice. In any case, there is plenty to choose from. If you want the best camera, we would recommend the Poco, Xiaomi or Oppo. If you want the best update policy, choose the Nokia or the Galaxy A32 from Samsung. If you want to get everything out of the smartphone, we would choose the Poco or the Redmi Note 10 Pro. With its specs, the TCL 20L can certainly not be overlooked.
