About TCL Optus X Start

The TCL Optus X Start feels compact in the hand, measuring just 65.7 mm wide, 137.6 mm tall and 9.8 mm thick while weighing only 134 grams. Its 4.95‑inch TN‑TFT LCD screen delivers a modest 480 by 960‑pixel resolution, offering clear enough visuals for everyday tasks such as messaging, browsing and light media consumption. The device keeps things simple with a single SIM slot, making it straightforward to set up on a mobile network without juggling multiple cards.

Under the hood runs Android 8.1 Oreo in the Go edition, a streamlined version of the operating system designed to run efficiently on limited hardware. Paired with 1 gigabyte of RAM, the phone handles basic apps and lightweight multitasking without noticeable lag. A 2000 mAh battery provides enough power to get through a typical day of moderate use, and the overall dimensions keep the device pocket‑friendly while still offering a usable display size.
