The TCL 40 XE 5G is the smartphone equivalent of finding a $50 bill in your jacket pocket. It connects to the fastest networks, it lives on major prepaid carriers, and it costs $39.99 at Straight Talk. Thirty. Nine. Ninety-nine! While other people are financing $1,200 phones and crying about their bill every month, you'll be surfing 5G and laughing all the way to the bank. This is democratized wireless access at its most glorious. TCL, you magnificent budget heroes, you've done it again!”

“Oh, the TCL 40 XE 5G — the phone equivalent of getting a birthday card with no money inside. "5G!" shouts the box, while conveniently omitting approximately every other specification known to humanity. Screen? Mystery. Camera? Shrug. RAM? Who knows! TCL apparently figured that "5G" printed in large letters on the packaging was a sufficient product description. And look, sure, $39.99 is cheap, but so is a gas station burrito, and that doesn't mean you want to commit to one every day. This is less a smartphone and more a carrier-subsidized publicity stunt dressed up in a Black plastic shell. Buyer beware — and bring your expectations set firmly to "minimal."”
