The TCL Stylus 5G has, wait for it, a stylus hidden inside. You probably saw that coming, but the low price may still come as a surprise.
The TCL Stylus 5G’s name gives away what makes it special, a hidden stylus ready to scribble notes on the screen. It’s not the first phone we’ve seen with a stylus, but it is the first from TCL, and it’s also a lot cheaper than the best-known stylus-boasting phone out there. You can head over to T-Mobile today and buy one for just $258.
It can be used to take notes, sketch, and annotate screenshots on the phone’s screen as you’d expect, but to increase its usefulness TCL has bundled a couple of handy apps — Nebo and MyScript Calculator 2. Nebo provides handwriting to text conversion to turn your notes into full documents ready for use on a computer, while MyScript Calculator 2 performs mathematic calculations written out using the stylus. The phone also has an e-signature system to sign digital documents.
