When Samsung launched the Galaxy Note family, He did it with the stunning turnout of his S Pen, a pen or stylus pen for taking notes and making use of interesting functions in the terminal. This family has disappeared, but what has (thankfully) not disappeared is the option to find models with pencils.

The reference here is still Samsung, but there are other more affordable devices with this accessory. absolutely new TCL Pen 5G It stands out for this, and although we are facing a mid-range terminal, this option makes it an interesting proposition for many users.

modest in almost everything

We are facing a terminal with a more “square” alcohol design than usual, perhaps a silent tribute to the notes of the past. The sides and bezels are delicate but not overdone, although the thickness of around 9mm is slightly above the normal average.

The terminal has a modest property page in many sections. This can be seen in its processor, which was introduced over a year and a half ago and upgraded thereafter. an affordable alternative for mid-range terminals like this one that want to offer 5G connectivity.

There are some other sacrifices in RAM memory as well (4GB sounds like too little anyway, whatever), but we’re well stocked with storage, from 128GB (which is also) o micro SD slot Accepts cards up to 2TB.

The camera set is also modest, except for the main sensor with a resolution of 50 MP. 4,000mAh battery Maybe a bit disappointing for a device of this size and weight, but here’s at least a decent 18W fast charge and included USB-C adapter and cable in the box.

Long live the pen even at mid-range

Even so, at TCL they guarantee: 30% lower latency And we also have a feature that allows you to take notes without unlocking the mobile phone and have shortcuts to take screenshots or create personalized GIFs.

TCL also offers free subscriptions to Nebo and MyScript Calculator 2, for example, which allow you to easily convert handwritten notes or formulas to text.
