Summary
- The Nvidia Shield K1, released in 2015, features a robust build with a larger 8.0-inch IPS LCD display at a resolution of 1920 x 1200 pixels, providing a sharper image compared to the Tecno Pop 5's 6.1-inch display with a resolution of 720 x 1560 pixels.
- In terms of performance, the Shield K1 is powered by a more advanced Nvidia Tegra K1 chipset with a quad-core 2.2 GHz CPU and 16GB of RAM, while the Pop 5 uses a less powerful quad-core 1.3 GHz Cortex-A7 CPU and has 1GB or 2GB of RAM options.
- Both devices have a 5 MP rear camera and a 5 MP front camera, but the K1's camera capabilities are generally more reliable due to its superior processing power.
- The Shield K1 also boasts a larger 5200 mAh battery compared to the Pop 5's 4000 mAh, which may lead to longer usage times.
- Software-wise, the K1 runs on Android 5.0, upgradable to 7.0, while the Pop 5 operates on Android 10 (Go edition) with HIOS, offering a more modern software experience.
