What is the difference between the Telox TE620, TE620G and TE620P?
Three names share one product line. The TE620G is the 4 GB and 64 GB version in the same 144 × 66 × 24.2 mm body as the TE620. The TE620P is a different device with its own shape.

- TE620 and TE620G. Telox shows both tables on one page and the same renders. The name plate on the right side reads TE620 even on the TE620G datasheet.
- TE620P. Alcadis sells it at a different size, and TASSTA lists it as a separate row. It is the model Telox names for MCPTT middleware.
My view: match the name on the quote to the table above. A quote for a "TE620" at the TE620G price is the 2 GB radio.
Which Android version and speaker does a Telox TE620G have?
The current product page lists Android 14 and a 3 W speaker. The April 2024 datasheet lists Android 12 and a 2 W speaker, and TASSTA and the shops follow the datasheet. Size, weight and the 5,000 mAh battery match in every source.
| Source | Android | Speaker |
|---|---|---|
| Telox product page (2026) | 14, Google services | 3 W front speaker |
| Telox datasheet (April 2024) | 12 | 2 W radio-grade speaker |
| TASSTA approved devices | 12 | — |
| MCPTT Store, Portofoonwinkel | 12 | — |
| Brentwood (UK) | — | 2 W |
- Shop copy. MCPTT Store lists 2 GB RAM and Bluetooth 4.2, Portofoonwinkel lists a 3.1-inch screen and a 4,000 mAh box line. These lines mix in TE620 data.
Buyer tip: ask the seller for the Android version, RAM and speaker rating in writing before an order for several units.
Will it work in your country?
The TE620G lists 17 LTE FDD and 5 LTE TDD bands, including the 800 MHz band 20 that most European networks use outside cities.
Try the push-to-talk apps on the TE620G
These services list the TE620G as supported. Mobile Tornado names the TE620G on its supported-device page. TASSTA lists the TE620G as an Android 12 smartphone and tests the PTT button, the emergency button and, on some models, the volume knob. Pick one and try what it can do.
The radio's keys work too: PTT plays the next call (hold it to talk), the knob or ▲▼ change the group, ◀▶ switch the app’s screens, the red key stops.

Questions
Which Android version does the Telox TE620G run?
Telox's current product page lists Android 14 with Google services. The April 2024 datasheet, TASSTA, MCPTT Store and Portofoonwinkel list Android 12. Both versions point to revisions of the same model, so ask the seller to name the Android version in writing.
Does the Telox TE620G have Google Play?
Yes. Telox's spec table lists Google services as supported, and Portofoonwinkel titles the radio "Google Supportive". Third-party APK installs are possible too, so you can run a PTT app from Google Play or from a file.
Which LTE bands does the Telox TE620G support?
Telox lists one set for all units: FDD B1, B2, B3, B4, B5, B7, B8, B12, B13, B17, B18, B19, B20, B25, B26, B28 and B66, and TDD B34, B38, B39, B40 and B41. That covers B20 and B28, the bands European networks use outside cities.
Is the Telox TE620G waterproof?
Telox lists IP68, with immersion in 1.5 m of water for 30 minutes, and a MIL-810G rating. The drop rating is 1.5 m and the operating range is −25 to +60 °C. The accessory lid on the right side must be closed.
Which PTT apps work on the Telox TE620G?
TASSTA lists the TE620G on its approved-device page and covers the PTT button, the emergency button and, on some models, the volume knob. Mobile Tornado names it under rugged devices. With Google services on board, other Android PTT apps install from Google Play.
What is the difference between the Telox TE620, TE620G and TE620P?
The TE620 has 2 GB RAM and 16 GB storage and runs Android 10. The TE620G has 4 GB RAM, 64 GB storage, two SIM slots and Google services. The TE620P is the MCPTT variant that Alcadis sells as a 153 × 76 × 15 mm slab.
