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.

Transsion holdings, Tecno, has launched quite a few phones in the Indian market under the Camon, Spark, and POVA lineup. However, the company is yet to bring the POP series into the Indian market. For starters, the POP series is somewhat popular in the entry-level segment in markets like Nigeria and the Philippines. The company also recently unveiled the POP 5 LTE in Pakistan.

Having said that, one of Tecno’s major markets left to get the series is India. Following this up, Tecno seems to have planned to launch new POP-series phones in India, as the company has already created a micro-site for the series.

Given that there’s a micro-site, we can expect the POP series to arrive in the next coming weeks. Now, the question remains, which POP phone would launch first.

While there’s no confirmation, a publication suggests that the first POP series phone to launch in India could be the Tecno POP 5 LTE. The smartphone was also launched in Pakistan recently and it also appeared on BIS certification.

The Teco POP 5 LTE will be an entry-level phone. It was launched with a 6.5-inch Dot Notch display with an HD+ resolution. The smartphone has an AI 8MP + 0.3MP dual-camera setup and has a 5MP selfie snapper. Under the hood, it is powered by the UNISOC SC9863 SoC paired with 2GB of RAM and 32GB of storage. The device houses a big 5,000mAh battery and has a rear-mounted fingerprint scanner.
