Comparisons Featuring Tecno Pop 5X
Short Review
- The Tecno Pop 5X features a plastic frame and back with a glass front, measuring 166 x 75.9 x 8.5 mm and weighing 150 grams, making it lightweight and easy to handle.
- It sports a 6.52-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 720 x 1600 pixels, providing decent visuals at approximately 269 ppi, though lacking HDR support.
- Performance is driven by a Unisoc SC9832E chipset, with a quad-core CPU clocked at 1.4 GHz and 2GB of RAM, suitable for basic tasks and light multitasking.
- The camera setup includes an 8 MP rear camera capable of recording 1080p video at 30fps and a 5 MP front camera for selfies.
- The 4000 mAh battery offers reasonable longevity but lacks fast or wireless charging options.
- Running on Android 10 (Go edition) with HiOS, the software is optimized for lower resource usage.
- Connectivity options include WiFi, Bluetooth, and a microUSB 2.0 port, but it does not support 5G or NFC.
- The device is available in Cosmic Shine, Crystal Blue, and Dazzle Black colors.
- It also includes a headphone jack, enhancing audio connectivity.
- Overall, the Tecno Pop 5X is a straightforward device catering to essential smartphone functions.
