Overview
TCL makes the Linkzone hotspot to turn a fast cellular data plan into private WiFi for laptops, tablets and phones on the move. A touchscreen shows connected devices and settings, and its battery can charge a phone through reverse charging.
Sharing a fast cellular link with many devices makes it useful for travel and remote work. Run time per charge is not given, so long days may need a power source.
Who it's for
Road warriors and families on trips get one secure connection for several devices. Users with no cellular data plan for it gain nothing.
Pros and cons
- Unlocked for Verizon and GSM
- Connects many devices at once
- Touchscreen for quick settings
- Reverse charging for phones
- Battery hours not listed
- Needs a separate data plan

- Warranty not stated
Performance notes
Speed depends on the carrier signal where you are, with the fastest speeds only where the newest network reaches. Using the battery to charge a phone shortens hotspot run time.
