TCL 60 5G

The TCL 60 5G has a slim profile at 8.2 mm thick and weighs 190 g, with overall dimensions of 165.6 mm in height and 76.2 mm in width, giving it a volume of roughly 103.47 cm³. It carries an IP54 rating, meaning it offers a degree of protection against dust and water splashes, though it does not meet the threshold for a fully rugged build. The phone uses a standard candy-bar form factor and cannot be folded.

The TCL 60 5G features a 6.7″ LCD IPS touchscreen with a resolution of 720 x 1600 px and a pixel density of 262 ppi. Despite the modest resolution, the panel supports a 120Hz refresh rate, which contributes to smoother on-screen motion. The display does not include branded damage-resistant glass, an Always-On Display mode, or support for HDR10, HDR10+, or Dolby Vision, and there is no secondary screen.

The TCL 60 5G is driven by the MediaTek Dimensity 6300 chipset, built on a 6 nm process with an octa-core CPU configuration running at 2 x 2.4 GHz and 6 x 2 GHz, supported by 8 threads, big.LITTLE technology, and Heterogeneous Multi-Processing. It is paired with 6GB of DDR4 RAM clocked at 2133 MHz, a maximum supported memory capacity of 12GB, and 256GB of internal storage. Graphics are handled by the integrated Arm Mali-G57 MC2 GPU running at 950 MHz, with DirectX 12 support, while the memory subsystem offers a maximum bandwidth of 17.07 GB/s and a cache hierarchy comprising 512 KB L1, 1 MB L2, and 2 MB L3. The chip also integrates LTE, supports 64-bit processing and multithreading, and the device scores 782 in Geekbench 6 single-core and 2012 in multi-core testing.

The TCL 60 5G features a dual-lens rear camera system combining a 50MP main sensor and a 5MP secondary lens, both using a CMOS sensor without back-side illumination or optical image stabilization. The main camera supports phase-detection autofocus for stills, continuous autofocus during video, and touch autofocus, though laser autofocus is absent. Manual controls cover exposure, ISO, focus, and white balance, while burst mode, HDR, panorama, slow-motion video, and timelapse round out the shooting options; raw capture and manual shutter speed are not available. Video recording tops out at 1080p at 30fps, with no HDR10 or Dolby Vision recording support. A single LED flash is present on the rear, though there is no dual-tone or RGB flash. On the front, an 8MP camera with an f/2 aperture handles selfies, without a flash, a secondary lens, or an under-display placement.

The TCL 60 5G runs Android 15 and comes with a broad set of privacy and usability features. On the privacy side, it offers clipboard warnings, location privacy options, camera and microphone access controls, and the ability to block app tracking, though cross-site tracking blocking and Mail Privacy Protection are not included. The software supports theme customization, dynamic theming, dark mode, and an extra dim mode for display comfort, while productivity is aided by split-screen multitasking, Picture-in-Picture, full-page screenshots, a media picker, customizable notifications, widgets, sharing intents, and the ability to play games while they download. On-device machine learning is present alongside offline voice recognition, voice commands, and device tracking. The system also supports multi-user accounts, app offloading, a child lock, battery health monitoring, and Live Text for selecting text in images. Wi-Fi password sharing, focus modes, Quick Start, and the ability to function as a PC are not supported, and OS updates do not come directly from the vendor.

The TCL 60 5G is equipped with a 5200 mAh rechargeable battery that supports 18W fast charging, and a charger is included in the box. A battery level indicator is present for monitoring charge status. Wireless charging is not supported, and the battery is not user-removable.

The TCL 60 5G includes a 3.5 mm headphone jack and stereo speakers for audio output. On the wireless audio side, it does not support any high-quality Bluetooth codecs, including aptX, aptX HD, aptX Adaptive, aptX Lossless, or LDAC.

The TCL 60 5G covers the core connectivity bases with 5G cellular support, Wi-Fi 4 and Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.4, and NFC, while a USB Type-C port running USB 2.0 handles wired connections. It accepts one physical SIM alongside one eSIM and includes an external memory slot for storage expansion. Download speeds reach up to 3300 Mbits/s, and a fingerprint scanner is present for biometric authentication, though 3D facial recognition and an iris scanner are not available. Location is handled by GPS with Galileo support, and onboard sensors include a gyroscope, accelerometer, and compass. The device does not include an infrared sensor, barometer, heart rate monitor, HDMI output, ANT+ support, DLNA certification, crash detection, emergency SOS via satellite, motion or optical tracking, a built-in projector, or a stylus.

The TCL 60 5G includes a video light for illumination during video recording. The display is flat rather than curved, uses neither sapphire glass nor an e-paper panel.
