Frequently asked questions

Is the TCL 605 water-resistant?
The TCL 605 comes with an IP54 rating, which means it is protected against dust ingress and can withstand water splashes from any direction. However, it is not fully waterproof and should not be submerged.
Does the TCL 605 have a headphone jack?
Yes, the TCL 605 includes a standard 3.5mm headphone jack, allowing you to use wired headphones alongside its built-in stereo speakers.
What is the battery capacity of the TCL 605?
The TCL 605 features a very large 5,200mAh battery, which is designed to easily provide over a day of usage. It also supports 18W fast charging to replenish the battery relatively quickly.
Can I increase the RAM on the TCL 605?
Yes, the TCL 605 comes with 8GB of physical RAM, and it supports virtual RAM expansion, allowing you to allocate up to 10GB of your storage space to act as additional RAM for improved multitasking.
Should I choose the TCL 605 or the TCL 60 SE NXTPAPER?
The choice depends on your display preferences and connectivity needs. The TCL 605 offers a standard 90Hz display and a slightly larger 5,200mAh battery. The TCL 60 SE NXTPAPER, however, features a 120Hz display with TCL's proprietary glare-free, matte NXTPAPER technology, designed to reduce eye strain, and it includes 5G connectivity. If you want 5G and a paper-like screen, the 60 SE NXTPAPER is the better choice. Compare TCL 60 SE NXTPAPER deals.

Based on main-sensor size (1-inch / 1/1.3" beats 1/2.0"), telephoto reach (periscope > 5x > 3x optical), image processing tier (Apple Pro, Pixel Pro, Galaxy Ultra, Honor Magic Pro, Xiaomi Ultra), pro video features (ProRes, Apple Log, Dolby Vision), camera-partnership branding (Leica, Hasselblad, Zeiss) and OIS. Older flagships are de-rated since image processing pipelines have advanced significantly each generation. Megapixel count is deliberately downweighted — it correlates poorly with real-world camera quality.

Based on battery capacity (mAh) adjusted for platform efficiency calibrated against NotebookCheck, Tom's Guide, GSMArena and CNET reviewer tests. Apple A-series gets +45% (iOS process freezing + LTPO 1Hz + tuned panels make iPhone Pro Max outlast many 6500+ mAh Android phones in measured tests). Top Snapdragon / Dimensity flagships get +15%, budget chipsets are penalised −15% to −25% to reflect less efficient displays and looser background limits. Charging speed is excluded — see the separate Fast charging tag for that.
