TCL 501 BLACK

I've been on the look out for a cheap phone to use a remote control.Not only is this Android 14 (note it is the Go edition, which has some limitations) but it's at the price point of other Chinese cheap phones that don't work, where this one actually does!It is a bit sluggish and your not going to playing many games at a high FPS but for a remote control for Tuya, Roku etc... It's the perfect device at under £50!Screen is bright and viewing angels are great. Love the idea of a removable battery so it's replaceable if it degrades.Cheap cheerful and functional phone, oh and as a bonus it supports 5G!

Waste of time & money doesn’t work at all apps won’t download but it’s decent for a child as a dummy phone

Fast seller, it works and it is relatively fast. It just gets a bit warmer if heavily used for some time. Overall it is fine and expected to be so. Thanks

great phone just one down side it keeps freezing when i am recieving incoming calls

brought this as a work phone 5 months ago because i'm sick of breaking expencive phones on the job. its held up well until now its a very tough and durable phone. the battery life is pretty terrible and its slow but it does everything you need from a phonestarted having an issue a few days ago. it displays a message saying has a verity curruption error and now the phone constantly restarts every time you use it for more then 5 mins making it nearly unusable.For people looking to buy a tcl 501 it is worth getting if you need a temporary budget phone but thats about all it is a cheap temp

It would not transfer all details from his Old iPhone I gave up. My son next day took 4 hrs to get it set up and he use to this kind of, I I use to Allple now. It just kept refusing constantly and took ages with google. It would not pair at all with iPhone or iPad. I did all phone contacts that was easy but can’t find away to add a photo of person as can with iPhone. That would even be better for my husband. I put photo transfer to the phone via email from mine, saved to Google photos. But not yet found how to see them. I can only think all my husband will manage is news read and phone calls. App I cons hard to understand, good size phone but bit disappointed re not easy to understand all.

It is a good basic phone, easy to use and set up, the camera is not as good as dearer phones but ideal for normal use.Overall the phone is ideal and serves all my requirements.

Do not buy this phone- it's absolute rubbish! Can't run more than one app at a time without freezing and crashing. The UX crashes constantly, the battery life is horrible and it's constantly stops charging at random. Even at £50 this feels like a scam, you'd be better off with a 2010 Huawei than this piece of crap.
