Transsion Holdings subsidiary Tecno Mobile made its mark by launching feature phones and entry-level smartphone models. Since then the company has graduated to launching premium mid-range models and even flagship models. The company has now unveiled a new entry-level smartphone dubbed Tecno Pop 5C.
The device features a rather outdated design with the presence of dated bezels on all four sides of the display. The bezels are wider at the top and bottom edges. While the top bezel holds the selfie camera and flashlight, the bottom bezel houses the capacitive home, multitasking, and back buttons.
In terms of specifications, the Pop 5C packs a 5-inch IPS LCD display with a resolution of 854 x 480 pixels. The smartphone will be powered by a Unisoc SC7731E chipset backed by a disappointing 1GB RAM while there is 16GB of storage onboard.
The Pop 5C equally features a solitary 5-megapixel camera at the back with an LED flash. The selfie camera is a miserable 2-megapixel sensor. The device crams a smallish 2,400mAh battery under the hood which charges via an equally dated micro USB port.
Providing the interface is the rather outdated Android 10 Go Edition and we are certain the device isn’t lined up for any update going by Tecno’s precedence in the delivery of software updates to its smartphone.
Tecno is yet to announce the price of the Pop 5C but we expect the price to placate for the disappointing hardware and design. Whenever it goes on sale, the Pop 5C will be available in Lake Blue and Dark Blue colors.
