OPPO A 6 Pro vs TCL 605 4G

Our Verdict: The clearest split between TCL 605 4G and OPPO A 6 Pro is display quality against simplicity. For the OPPO, that means a sharper 397 PPI display, its AMOLED panel, and a higher-resolution 16MP front camera. The TCL is easier to recommend for a 6.7-inch IPS LCD display at 262 PPI, a 50MP rear camera, and a 5MP front camera. A bigger mAh figure is useful context, but real battery life still depends on software and chipset efficiency. Go with the OPPO for display quality; lean toward the TCL if simplicity is higher on your list.

The 605 4G is the cheaper one to own: around £170 over a typical contract, £195 less than the A5 2020 6 Pro.
