In this category, you’ll find spare parts for the TCL 305, the entry-level device TCL introduced in early 2022 with a 6.52-inch HD+ IPS LCD screen and a 5000 mAh battery. The range now focuses on the complete OEM-quality screen, the component most often replaced on this phone, whether you’re a user repairing your own mobile or a repair shop working with the TCL 30 series every day. As the 305 shares its casing and form factor with several related models, the first step is to check the model code before buying.
6102D, 6102H or 5164D: which code does your TCL actually have?
The TCL 305 has the model code 6102D. You can find it in the phone’s settings, under the device information section, and on the label of the original box. Checking it takes less than a minute and helps avoid the most common buying mistakes, as the commercial name alone is not enough to identify models in this range.
These are the models most often confused with the 305:
- TCL 306 (6102H): shares the 6102 base code, 6.52-inch screen and dimensions of 165.2 x 75.5 x 8.9 mm, but uses a different processor (Helio G25 instead of the 305’s Helio A22). It is a separate commercial model.
- TCL 305i (5164D): despite the similar name, this is a different device, with a different processor and a lower-capacity battery. Do not treat it as a variant of the 305.
- TCL 30 SE (6165H, 6165H1, 6165A, 6165A1): the same outer dimensions, identical weight of 190 g and a 6.52-inch HD+ screen, but with a 50 MP main camera and Helio G25 processor.
If the settings show 5164D, your device is a TCL 305i, not a 305. Some parts are listed for both models, but their internal differences mean you should confirm compatibility for each part before ordering.
TCL 305 or TCL 30 SE: which complete OEM screen fits your phone?
The original panel in the TCL 305 is a 6.52-inch IPS LCD with a 720 x 1600 resolution, 20:9 aspect ratio and a 60 Hz refresh rate. As this is an entry-level model, the screen has no advanced features such as a high refresh rate or an integrated fingerprint reader, so no panel functions are lost when it is replaced. You should, however, check that the part is compatible with your exact variant.
We have two parts available in our catalogue, both as complete OEM-quality screens:
| Product | Model | Codes | When to choose it |
|---|---|---|---|
| Complete screen for TCL 305 | TCL 305 | 6102D | If your phone’s settings show 6102D |
| Complete screen for TCL 30 SE | TCL 30 SE | 6165H, 6165H1, 6165A, 6165A1 | If you have a 30 SE or repair this model in your shop |
For a 6102D, the recommended part is the OEM complete screen for TCL 305: it is listed for this model and saves you from additional checks. The OEM complete screen for TCL 30 SE is intended for this related model, which shares the screen size, resolution and chassis dimensions with the 305.
In the spare parts market, it is common to see the same assembly listed for the 305, 306, 30E and 30 SE. However, we have not found manufacturer documentation confirming that the flex connector and mounting points are identical across all of them. For this reason, the sensible choice is to select the screen that matches your code. If you run a repair shop and work on devices across the TCL 30 series, having both parts clearly labelled lets you match each one to the right model without guesswork.
Rear fingerprint sensor and shared chassis across the TCL 30 range
The TCL 305 fingerprint reader is on the back, not beneath the glass. This makes choosing a screen straightforward: fingerprint unlocking is not linked to the panel, so replacing the screen does not affect the sensor. The same applies to the TCL 30 SE, which also has a rear-mounted fingerprint reader.
We have not found any TCL documentation indicating software pairing between the screen and the motherboard on this model, or any system warnings after replacement. Even so, as the 305, 306 and 30 SE share 165.2 x 75.5 x 8.9 mm dimensions and look almost identical, it is easy to mix up the models at the counter. Before opening the phone, note down the code shown in the settings: it will tell you which screen to order.
Frequently asked questions about replacing parts in a TCL 305
Is the TCL 30 SE screen compatible with the TCL 305?
The two models share the same screen size, HD+ resolution and external dimensions, and many spare parts are listed for both. As the manufacturer does not provide a cross-compatibility table, the direct replacement for a 6102D is the TCL 305 screen. The TCL 30 SE screen is listed for codes 6165.
My phone shows the code 5164D. Is it a TCL 305?
No. The code 5164D belongs to the TCL 305i, a different model with a different processor and battery. Before buying any component, check that it is compatible with that exact code.
Does the TCL 306 use the same screen as the TCL 305?
The 306 (6102H) shares the same base code, screen size and dimensions as the 305, and common assemblies for both are available on the market. If you have a 306, check compatibility with that code before ordering, as this screen listing is for the 305.
Will the fingerprint reader stop working if I replace the screen?
The TCL 305 fingerprint sensor is on the back and is not part of the screen. Therefore, replacing the screen assembly does not directly affect it.
