Like Motorola, TCL has found most of its retail success in the low to mid-end markets. The strategy is sound; users who don’t want to pay up for Samsung, Apple, or even Google’s premium offerings can spend less on a TCL phone, even if flagship features like wireless charging, higher RAM, and better cameras are forfeited along the way.
Still, there’s a lot of bang for your buck with the TCL Stylus 5G which, at the time of writing, is available exclusively on T-Mobile and Metro by T-Mobile for $269. For the price, you’re getting a large 6.8-inch display, 128GB of base storage that’s expandable via MicroSD, a quad-camera setup, and of course, the built-in stylus.

One of the tradeoffs to note is the lack of palm rejection when writing with the stylus. Fortunately, when ZDNET tested the device, the absence of the stylus feature didn’t significantly affect the usability of the writing experience.
