TECNO POP 2 Enters The Market With Android Oreo Go Edition

Can you remember the TECNO F3 that got launched April this year? That smartphone was also known as TECNO Pop 1. Now, the smartphone has a new successor called the TECNO Pop 2. That’s TECNO’s way of saying the Pop series is here to stay.

With the phone primarily targeted at the budget segment, the famous Android Oreo Go Edition gets into the mix of things. Also, the features present are mostly entry-level.

Nonetheless, let’s look at what the dominant Chinese OEM has to offer in this edifice.

TECNO Pop 2 Quick Review

For the doubting Thomases, TECNO Mobile ensured that the Pop 2 engraving appears in the phone’s rear camera setup. In the structure also, a 5MP lens and dual-LED flash are available to carry out their roles. Up front, another flash is available to support the frontal 8MP AI-assisted shooter. Well, that’s some good news for the selfie freaks.

The smartphone bags an aspect ratio of 18:9 to deliver a Full View Display mode. This screen estate relayed through this aspect ratio makes the 5.5-inch IPS screen more delectable. More so, the screen’s resolution is 480 x 960 pixels while its pixel density is 196PPI.

Under the glass, TECNO Pop 2’s core operations are dished out by MediaTek MT6580 SoC. A Quad-core CPU of 1.3GHz, as well as Mali-400 GPU, are stationed on this chip. As the CPU acts in line with performance delivery, the GPU fashions out the graphics.

In the software section, the Go edition of Android 8.1 Oreo is the spearhead of actions. Due to its availability, pre-installed apps like YouTube Go, Google Go, Files Go, Gmail Go and all are aboard. These apps consume minimal data, hence more value for the 1GB RAM. And yes, TECNO’s HiOS 3.3 is also at bay.

The other memory unit is the 8GB ROM that can be expanded using a MicroSD card. Finally, a non-removable 2,400mAh battery determines the phone’s runtime. Sadly, there’s no 4G network band on the device. You’ll have to make do with the 2G and 3G network supports that’s present.
