Design & Display

The smartphone comes with a 6.6 inches screen size with an IPS LCD display. The density of the screen is 266 PPI and the resolution is 720 x 1600 pixels. The device runs on the Android 12 (Go edition) + TCL UI operating system.

The smartphone is fueled by a Li-Po 5000 mAh battery + 10W wired. The sensors include accelerometer + Virtual proximity sensing. The device is powered by the MediaTek MT6762G Helio G25 Octa-core processor while the GPU is PowerVR GE8320.

It is packed with 2 GB RAM and 32 GB, 64 GB internal storage that can be increased with microSDXC (dedicated slot). TCL 405 is available in two colors: Lavender Purple, Space Dark.

The device features a dual-camera that includes 13 MP (wide) + 2 MP (depth) with LED flash. There is a single camera on the front that features a 5 MP (wide) camera. The dimension of the device is 164.7 x 75.4 x 9 mm and it weighs 190 grams. Smartphones commonly use LCD screens in their displays; however, OLED displays are becoming more common, and are preferred by most smartphone manufacturers.

An LCD (Liquid Crystal Display) is a type of flat panel display that uses liquid crystals as its primary form of control. LCDs are lit with a backlight as pixels are switched on and off electronically while using the liquid crystals to rotate polarized light.

Polarizing glass filters are placed in front and behind the pixels, and the front filter is situated at 90 degrees.
LCDs are beginning to be outpaced by other display technologies, but still have a place in the smartphone market. Now, LCDs can be commonly found in budget to mid-tier smartphones- as the OLED is a bit more costly.

Memory & Performance

The internal memory of TCL 405 (2 GB) cannot be expanded, but the internal storage (32 GB) can be expanded with a compatible microSD card. On the performance side, TCL 405 comes with Android OS v12.0 Go Edition out of the box, but it is upgradable to the next operating system.

Camera

Cameras on a phone commonly include a normal camera lens, a telephoto lens and a wide-angle lens. A telephoto lens allows users to take a photo of a faraway subject while a wide-angle lens allows the user to take a photo at a wide field of view with a short focal length. On the front-facing screen, there is usually a selfie camera and, in some cases, a wide-angle lens.

Some phones, like the iPhone 11 Pro has three rear-facing cameras, while others, like the Pixel 3 will have just one camera– relying primarily on computational photography. All smartphones use some level of computational photography, since they don’t operate the same way shutter-based cameras do.

Computational photography is the use of computer processing in cameras to make a better-looking image beyond what the lens and sensor could traditionally pick up in one shot. The camera of the 405 is equipped with autofocus. An autofocus (or AF) optical system uses a sensor, a control system and a motor to focus on an automatically or manually selected point or area. Very few Android cameras come without autofocus.

Computational photography is used in smartphones since there is less space for a large lens that can enhance pictures. Smartphones also have more processing power over the typical digital camera; meaning smartphones can automate many settings and provide additional photo editing tools. These allow for a better photo-taking experience for the end user.

Connectivity

TCL 405 supports 2G, 3G and 4G/LTE networks. This phone has a built-in GPS. GPS is a highly accurate navigation system using signals from satellites to determine a location on the Earth’s surface, irrespective of weather conditions. Most phones have a GPS unit on board. The 405 phone has built-in FM radio.

Smartphones today come with a wealth of sensors to facilitate a better user experience. The accelerometer is a sensor that measures the tilting motion and orientation of the phone. This TCL phones comes with proximity sensor. This proximity sensor detects how close the phone is to an outside object, such as your ear. The Dual SIM capability of TCL 405 phone is ideal for businesses wishing to provide staff with a mobile device that can offer separate numbers and bills for both personal and business use.

Battery

The mobile device houses a Li-Po 5000 mAh, non-removable battery gives the smartphone a good battery backup. The lithium polymer (Li-Po) battery is a thin, light-weight, rechargeable battery.
