The phone is great! Looks brand new, works fine, 60 odd quid and does everything I need. Can't go wrong. Ordering, service and delivery spot on. Don't waste your money to fit in with the gimps! Help the environment, help your pocket 😉👊

TCL mobile phone was packaged very well. We received a lot more than whst we paid for the phone. Phone is in excellent condition. It was bought as a temporary phone for daughter but I don't know. If she upgrades I am having that phone.

Pretty good phone. Keep the apps to a minimum so it could still work a bit fast but all in all it's be great for that kind of prize. Much better than a previous phone I had some years back.

The TCL 505 brings you simple, reliable smartphone essentials, packed into a friendly design launched in early 2024. While just a generation behind the latest releases, it offers a large display and straightforward features for easy everyday use. A strong choice for those who want the basics done well, minus any fuss.

Key features:

Release Date: January 2024
Display: 6.75-inch IPS LCD, HD+ (720 x 1600 pixels)
Processor: MediaTek Helio G36
Camera: Dual rear camera: 50MP main + 2MP depth; 5MP selfie camera
Operating System: Android 14 (shipped version)
Build: Plastic frame and back, with glass front
Wi-Fi: Wi-Fi 5 (802.11ac)
Extra features: Fingerprint sensor (side-mounted), 3.5mm headphone jack, microSD support

Who is this for?

The TCL 505 is best for users wanting a straightforward, modern smartphone for calls, messaging, browsing, and light apps. Ideal for students, first-time smartphone owners, or anyone upgrading from a basic mobile—the basics are all here, and the big screen makes everyday use comfortable. If you need advanced gaming or high-end photography, you’ll want to look elsewhere (think: Samsung’s Galaxy A series), but for straight-up reliability? This one’s got it covered.

Pros & Cons:

Pros	Cons
Large display that’s easy on the eyes for videos and browsing.	Entry-level processor is not built for intensive apps or gaming.
Up-to-date Android 14 straight out of the box.	Display resolution is HD+ rather than Full HD.
Solid 50MP main camera for its price class.	Plastic build lacks the premium feel of glass or aluminium phones.
