Launch of TCL Ion X with removable battery on Metro in the United States

Almost all smartphones come with non-removable batteries these days, but TCL is willing to provide the exception called Ion X. If you live in the US, you can buy it for $119 from Metro starting at ‘today. It can also be free if you open a new line or migrate your number.

The TCL Ion X contains a removable 3000 mAh battery, allowing you to replace it with a new one if it degrades over time. You can also carry a spare battery for instant top-ups. A removable battery is still the fastest way to have a phone with a fully charged battery after all.

Along with a removable battery, the TCL Ion X has two other features that we rarely see these days: a microSD card slot for storage expansion and a 3.5mm headphone jack.

The rest of the highlights of the TCL Ion X include the Helio G25 SoC, 3GB of RAM and 32GB of storage (expandable up to 512GB). The smartphone runs an unknown version of Android and sports a 6-inch HD display. It has a 13MP camera on the back and a 5MP camera on the front, both capable of shooting 1080p video at 30 FPS.

The TCL Ion X comes with Bluetooth 5.1 and USB-C but does not support 5G networks.
