What we like about TCL Tab Pro 5G 5G (6GB + 128GB)

  • Supports all forms of Verizon 5G, including ultra-fast millimeter-wave (mmWave) networks
  • Vivid 10.36-inch 2K display with good viewing angles and NXTVISION upscaling technology
  • Strong 8,000mAh battery life, often rated for around 17 hours of mixed usage
  • Includes helpful features like reverse charging to power other devices and a fingerprint sensor for security
  • Lightweight and compact design with a textured back for better grip and fewer smudges

What we don't like about TCL Tab Pro 5G 5G (6GB + 128GB)

  • Underwhelming performance for resource-intensive tasks; struggles significantly with high-end gaming like Genshin Impact
  • Exclusive to Verizon, limiting carrier choice and increasing total cost through required data plans
  • Comes with a significant amount of pre-installed Verizon bloatware that occupies internal storage
  • Lack of first-party productivity accessories such as a dedicated keyboard or stylus
  • Slow charging speeds, taking roughly four hours to reach a full charge with the included 18W adapter

Verdict

The TCL TAB Pro 5G is a versatile mid-range tablet featuring a 10.36-inch NXTVISION display with a 2000 x 1200 resolution and a 5G-ready Qualcomm Snapdragon octa-core processor. Equipped with 6GB of RAM and 128GB of internal storage, it supports smooth multitasking and is expandable up to 1TB via microSD. Key strengths include its long-lasting 8000mAh battery with 18W fast charging, reverse charging capabilities to power other devices, and dual stereo speakers that provide an immersive audio experience for media consumption. However, users may find its camera performance to be average in low-light conditions and the device lacks a dedicated 3.5mm headphone jack, requiring a USB-C adapter for wired audio.
