TCL have just announced a new entry-level smartphone in the European market. The TCL 305 is a 6.52-inches device that is powered by MediaTek’s Helio A22 quad-core CPU. Obviously, buying this device won’t be due to it processing prowess, but probably battery capacity.
The model is powered by a 5000mAh battery, and there is a 10W charging system for refueling sake. The TCL 305 is available in a single 2GB RAM, but paired with either 32/64GB ROM that gets an extra 512GB external card support.
Interestingly, TCL has given the 305 smartphone three camera sensors on the rear. Of these three, the main snapper is a 13-megapixel lens with PDAF and f/2.2 aperture, along with two auxiliary 2-megapixel sensors for macro and depth gymnastics. 5-megapixel selfie lens is on the front, and both sides are capable of 1080p video recording.
