Transsion Holdings subsidiary Tecno Mobile has finally launched its latest budget smartphone in India. The device dubbed Tecno POP 5 LTE is a successor to the POP 4. It is worthy of note that the entry-level smartphone was first launched in Pakistan and the Philippines in November 2021. 
The POP 5 LTE continues with the budget outlook of its predecessors while retaining a hugely affordable price tag. It features a decent 6.52-inch dot-notch display with an HD+ resolution of 1600 x 720 pixels. The display also comes with a 20:9 aspect ratio, 480 nits brightness, and 120Hz touch sampling rate. There is also a 2.5D curved glass covering the display panel. The waterdrop notch design provides a 90% screen-to-body ratio for the device. 
On the inside, the POP 5 LTE is powered by a 2GHz Quad-Core MediaTek Helio A25 processor paired with 2GB of RAM while there is 32GB of storage onboard. We expect the company to release a higher memory variant in due course. But for now, you can only make do with the 32GB store which you can expand anyway, up to 256GB via microSD.
For photography, the Tecno POP 5 LTE packs a dual-camera setup at the rear stacked vertically at the top left corner of the back panel. The camera setup consists of an 8-megapixel main shooter alongside an AI lens and dual-LED flash. For selfies, there is a 5-megapixel camera housed under the waterdrop notch. The front camera also has an LED flash. 
In terms of interface, the new budget smartphone runs Android 11 (Go Edition) customized with Tecno’s HiOS 7.6. The phone also crams a huge 5000mAh battery under the hood that promises up to 31 days of standby time and up to 48 hours of video playback. You also get an IPX2-rated splash-resistant design as well as a 3.5mm audio jack. The phone also comes with support for 4G VoLTE, FM Radio, Wi-Fi 802.11 a/b/g/n, Bluetooth 5.0, and GPS.
As for the pricing, the Tecno POP 5 LTE carries a price tag of Rs. 6299 (~$85) and will be sold on Amazon India from January 16th. The phone comes in Ice Blue, Deepsea Luster, and Turquoise Cyan colour options.
