At the TECNO 2018 event, TECNO announced its entry-level smartphones with Android Oreo OS (Go edition) which consisted of TECNO F1, TECNO F2 and TECNO F3 (TECNO POP 1). Also at the event, the TECNO Camon X and TECNO Camon X Pro (flagship selfie-focused smartphones) were also launched.
Well, in this article, the TECNO F2 will be getting under the microscope as the co-pioneer of the Android Go edition on a TECNO smartphone (the other budget-specific F series smartphones being the other pioneers). This smartphone has a lot of similarities to the TECNO F1 that the only obvious difference between the two smartphones is the improved RAM.
TECNO F2 Quick Review — All You Need To Know
TECNO F2 has a well-furnished plastic built body which contains a 5-inch FWVGA IPS display. The display gets augmented with a resolution of 480 X 854 pixels and the 16:9 aspect ratio. No fingerprint scanner appears on this device just like the TECNO F1, so the only security options present are the traditional use of PINs, passwords and patterns.
Under the hood, TECNO F2 sports a Quad-core CPU that clocks at 1.3GHz speed. However, enclosing this processor is the MediaTek 6580A chipset. Graphics are handled by ARM Mali-400 GPU. As the F1 runs on the Android Oreo OS (Go edition), so also does the TECNO F2 enjoy the trimmed down version of Android’s latest OS. The RAM of this smartphone is 1GB unlike the 512MB implemented in the F1. Other than that, the 8GB internal storage remains the same. It can also accommodate memory card of 32GB capacity.
Notably at the rear, the phone features a single 5MP camera with a dual-LED flash at the top left corner. The camera is supplied with brightness in low light conditions by the dual-LED flash. At the front, a 2MP sensor takes selfies, although they are of poor quality. In the battery compartment, the mobile makes use of a removable Li-Ion 2,000mAh cell similar to the F1.
