The "sub-$100" 5G phone that TCL promised at CES in January has arrived on US shelves with its launch on Metro by T-Mobile. Although Metro lists the full price as $119.99, many customers may be able to get the phone for free, through various promotions. Regardless, the phone marks a new milestone in the affordability of 5G phones in the US. The phone is powered by a Snapdragon 4s Gen 2 chip, which was specifically created to enable more-affordable 5G phones such as this one. The K32 5G has a large 5,010 mAh battery and large 6.7-inch HD+ display. Other specs are entry-level, as expected, including a 13-megapixel camera, 5-megapixel front camera, 4 GB RAM, and 64 GB storage. It does have a memory card slot and 3.5mm headset jack.
