The 30 V 5G price will vary depending on retailer, age, special offers and whether or not it's purchased with a service plan. If purchased with a 2 year service contract for example, you would likely pay much less for the phone itself up front. You can compare TCL 30 V 5G prices from around the web here on The Informr.


TCL backs up the 30 V 5G with a 1 Year parts & labour warranty.
