Tecno Pop 8 Quick Review: Is This The Best Affordable Smartphone?
Tecno Pop 8 Review: The Tecno Pop 8 is a pocket-sized device with some features that other entry-level smartphones lack. Some of them are dual DTS stereo speakers, a side-mounted oil-proof fingerprint sensor, and a speaker port. Do these features help you stand out in a crowded category? Find out in the review.
Techno Pop 8 Review: Price and Options
The smartphone priced at Rs 7,799 is currently available at Rs 5,999. It is available in a single RAM and storage variant and three color variants: Gravity Black, Mystery White, and Alpenglow Gold.
Techno Pop 8 Review: Design
The back of the smartphone features a textured pattern that makes it resistant to fingerprints and smudges. Although the design is not completely new, the device looks good in black. It seems sturdy and is comfortable to hold. The device has a side-mounted fingerprint scanner and works efficiently.
Techno Pop 8 Review: The Show
The smartphone has a 6.6-inch IPS LCD display that supports a 90Hz refresh rate. Although the movement is smooth, the viewing experience is good considering the price of the device. The good news is that it comes with two speakers, which is very rare for a smartphone under Rs 6000. Although the speakers are quite loud, there is no bass.
Techno Pop 8 Review: Performance and Software
The smartphone is powered by Unisoc T606 chipset, capable enough to perform all your basic tasks. It has 4 GB of RAM (expandable up to 8 GB) and 64 GB of internal storage. You can also easily play light games like Candy Crush and Subway Surfer. But make sure you don't leave too many apps running in the background.
The Tecno Pop 8 starts with HiOS 13 on top of Android 13. It offers plenty of features and customization options for an entry-level smartphone, but pre-installed apps like Palm Store and AHA Games are few and far between.
Techno Pop 8 Review: Camera
The Tecno Pop 8 features a dual camera setup on the back with a 12-megapixel primary sensor. It also has a dual LED flash with AI lens. It has an 8 megapixel front camera for selfies.
The rear camera takes good pictures in good lighting conditions, but don't expect much in low light. The selfie camera also manages to take pictures that justify the price.
Techno Pop 8 review: Battery and performance
The smartphone has a 5000 mAh battery and supports 10W charging. Charging is slow, but for the price of the smartphone, we cannot complain about that. However, the device will easily last more than a day on a full charge.
Techno Pop 8 Review: Verdict
If you are looking to buy a smartphone under Rs 7000, Tecno Pop 8 is definitely one of the best options available as it comes with a large screen with speaker port feature, good refresh rate and two loud speakers. All of these features make it an easy choice.
