It\u2019s been a year since TCL took over the budget phone scene with its affordable 20-series devices<\/a>, and you know what that means. TCL is back at MWC 2022 with its new 30-series lineup, which includes five new, ultra-affordable handsets.<\/p>\n

To keep you from going insane, I\u2019m splitting these five phones into two groups. First, there\u2019s the TCL 30, the TCL 30+, and the TCL 30 5G. These phones are all basically identical, with 6.7-inch AMOLED displays, large 5010mAh batteries, and tri-camera arrays with a 50MP main sensor, 2MP macro lens, and 2MP depth sensor.<\/p>\n

The only real difference between these phones lies in their processors. The TCL 30 and 30+ use MediaTek Helio G37 chips, while the TCL 30 5G packs a MediaTek Dimensity 700. And of course, the TCL 30 5G is the only model in this lineup with 5G support.<\/p>\n

The remaining two devices, the TCL 30E and 30SE, are also clones of one another. They pack 6.52-inch LCD displays, MediaTek Helio G25 chips, and 5000mAh batteries.<\/p>\n

So, what\u2019s the difference between these two phones? The cameras. The TCL 30SE has the same 50MP\/2MP\/2MP rear camera setup as the standard 30-series phones, but the TCL 30E lacks a macro lens. And while the TCL 30E has a 5MP selfie camera, the TCL 30SE uses an 8MP front-facing lens.<\/p>\n

I\u2019m not sure I understand TCL\u2019s strategy here. Launching five near-identical phones is a bit odd, and man, just check out the pricing:<\/p>\n
