TCL 40XL 2023 Unlocked Cell Phone 6GB + 256GB, 6.75 inch Display Mobile Phone, Smartphone Android 13, 50MP AI Camera, 5000 mAh, 4G LTE, US Version, Dark Gray, Grey (Renewed)

After I plugged it in for over 3 hours it never turned on. Box was old and tapped horrible.Now I won't have a phone for my kid for Christmas.Horrible

Just a quick review of this phone, I have the version with 4 gigs of RAM and 256 gigs of ROM and I bought this phone around 10 months ago or so, and within the last 3 weeks my charger port which has sustained no damage prior, randomly became so problematic that I could barely even charge my phone if at all. After doing some searching and looking around I found on Amazon, a replacement charging port for the phone for $16 and the nice thing about it is there's no soldering required. Just simply pop the back off your phone unscrew a few screws unplug your battery from the charger port put the new one in rinse and repeat and you're done takes all of about 10 minutes to do. The charger port issue is definitely a design flaw, but for $16 I'm willing to spend that to keep my phone working regularly just because the phone is super great, and I hate to get rid of a perfectly good phone all over poor charger quality manufacturing.

The phone has the perfect screen size and more than enough storage. My only issue is that after less than a year the charger port on the phone has broken and has made charging the device a daily hassle . I opted for a new device before the port completely breaks and I am unable to access the TCL. I may try to fix the TCL xl 40. So sad

2nd TCL in 2 years the charging port no good after about a year. Will never buy another one.
