Summary
- The Energizer Power Max P550S features a more premium build with an aluminum frame and glass front, while the Tecno Pop 2 Plus has a plastic build, making the former feel sturdier.
- In terms of display, the P550S offers a 5.5-inch IPS LCD with a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, compared to the Pop 2 Plus's larger 6.0-inch display at 480 x 960 pixels, resulting in a sharper image on the P550S.
- Performance-wise, the P550S is powered by a Mediatek MT6737 chipset with 2GB of RAM, whereas the Pop 2 Plus uses a Mediatek MT6580P with only 1GB of RAM, leading to better multitasking on the P550S.
