Tecno Pop 5 Pro specs and price in Kenya

Design

Tecno Pop 5 Pro comes with a 6.52-inch IPS LCD screen with a drop notch design for the selfie camera. It has very pronounced bezels and a chin, an aspect ratio of 20:9, and a screen to body ratio of 76.5%. It has a plastic frame and back and a scratch-resistant front panel. Pop 5 Pro is fairly bright and vivid, peaking at 400 nits. It has top placed a headphone jack and a single downward-firing speaker, which is great for playing media. It has a conveniently placed rear-end fingerprint sensor for safe unlocking.

Performance

Tecno Pop 5 Pro comes with the budget Mediatek MT6739WA chipset, making it decently fast. It has a 1.3 GHz Cortex A53 Quad-core CPU paired with PowerVR GE8300 GPU, with storage options of 1 GB for RAM & 16 GB for ROM. This one also comes with a dedicated expandable memory option slot. It is running Android 10 Go Edition, paired with the in-house HIOS skin. The performance feels fluid and decent. It however comes with a lot of preinstalled apps and services, which makes it feel a little bloated. The upside is this particular OS is very customizable.

Cameras

Tecno Pop 5 Pro comes with a dual-camera setup, starting with an 8MP primary sensor, paired with a VGA depth sensor. As you may have guessed, the cameras are the compromise that had to be taken for this phone to break the price bottom. The pictures are decent and usable, especially in good lighting.  The video can support up to 1080p video at 30 fps. The selfie camera gets a slightly better 8MP wide sensor, capable of 720p video at 30fps. The selfies are decent and usable

Other features

The Tecno Pop 5 Pro is inarguably designed as a budget device with the aesthetics of a pricier device. Under the hood, it’s fairly a standard budget device. It still has a micro-USB port, no fast charging, 5W charging speeds, and basic utilities like radio. The phone has a huge Li-Po 5000 mAh non-removable battery. It should be more than enough considering it’s a low-power device. Overall, it’s a basic phone, for basic use. No bells and whistles to be expected.

It comes in Ice Lake Green, Obsidian Black, and Ice Blue
