I like the phone but it freezes too much for a phone that's not even a month old. Furthermore, it doesn't have the split screen features and it is unable to initiate fast charging even with the charger that came with it, along with completely new cable chargers

The TCL 40 SE brings simplicity and reliable performance to the mid-range smartphone scene. Released in February 2023, this pre-owned device shines with its generous display and straightforward interface. Not the flashiest in the lineup, but for those seeking a no-nonsense Android, the 40 SE gets the basics right in 2025—two generations on.
Key features:The TCL 40 SE is ideal for students, first-time smartphone users, and anyone interested in a straightforward phone for calls, messaging, and media. If you prefer simplicity over bells and whistles—or want a device for travel or work without worry—the 40 SE steps in nicely. While not as powerful as flagships like the Samsung Galaxy S22, it handles everyday essentials with ease and fewer distractions.
Pros & Cons:| Pros | Cons |
|---|---|
| Large 6.75-inch display for comfortable viewing. | Lower HD+ resolution is less crisp than FHD+ screens. |
| Clean, recent Android 13 out of the box. | No 5G connectivity—limited to 4G LTE speeds. |
| Side-mounted fingerprint sensor for fast unlocking. | Plastic construction won’t match the durability or feel of metal/glass devices. |
| Triple camera for flexible basic photography. | Not built for demanding gaming or intensive apps. |
Choosing a refurbished TCL 40 SE gives unused tech a second shot and helps reduce e-waste—tick one off the eco-friendly list without changing your entire lifestyle.
