The Tecno Pop 6 Pro is a new midrange, with a great value proposition. It packs a fast entry-level Mediatek Helio A22, a huge 6.6-inch LCD screen, a decent 8MP primary camera, a huge 5000 mAh battery, and a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. At its price, it’s truly a great bargain. Buy it in Kenya today at Phonesstore.
Design
The Tecno Pop 6 Pro comes with a 6.6-inch LCD screen with a dew-drop design for the selfie camera. It has a screen-to-body ratio of 83.2% and quite bright and vivid, peaking at 480 nits with an aspect ratio of 20:9, and supports HD10+ which makes it an absolute delight to consume media with. It has a plastic frame and back, and a shutter-proof front panel. Fortunately, it sports a headphone jack. It has a physical fast fingerprint sensor, conveniently placed on the side, housed in the power button. It has a downward-firing speaker, which is great for playing media.
Performance
The Tecno Pop 6 Pro come with the entry-level Mediatek Helio A22 4G chipset, making it decently fast, though not so much for gaming. It has a quad-core CPU paired with a PowerVR GE8320 GPU, with storage options of 2 GB for RAM & 32 GB for ROM. It also comes with a dedicated expandable memory option, which is a plus. Running the latest Android 10 Go Edition, the performance feels quite decent, considering the SoC is entry-level. It’s not expected to be noticeably slow, but then expectations should be realistic. Nonetheless, everything should feel fluid and rich in color.
Cameras
The Tecno Pop 6 Pro has a dual camera arrangement on the back. It comes with a decent 8MP wide primary sensor, for those excellent daylight photos. There is an extra QVGA module on the back, although of unspecified lenses. The assumption would be it is a telephoto lens. The video can support 1080p video at 30 fps, with HDR support & gyro-EIS stability assistance. The selfie camera is a decent 5MP wide sensor, capable of 720p video at 30fps. The selfies are great and well-lit.
Other features
We can’t fail to mention the charging speeds in the Tecno Pop 6 Pro. It comes with a micro-USB charging port, which caps wattage at 10W, so the phone can get to fully charged in about an hour & a half. That’s fairly usable. That is in addition to the fact that it also comes with a Li-Po 5000mAh non-removable battery, which is rather generous. Even with a power user, this should be more than enough. Of course, there is no wireless charging here nor NFC for contactless paying. It comes in Blue and Black.
Similarly, priced phones would include Tecno Pova Neo, Nokia G21, the Oppo A16K, and Realme C25Y. the main distinction at this price point is often a choice of a better camera or more memory. The sizes are usually standard, and the batteries are often huge. It’s unlikely there are fast-charging options as the price is too competitive. The design is great, but the design allure of a quality dual camera is very misleading, though is does great for the aesthetics. The OS will feel right at home, especially if you have used a Tecno phone before.
