Tecno is not a brand widely present in the global market, yet it is one of the most important smartphone manufacturers in the Indian market which is currently the biggest one alongside the Chinese market. A few days ago, a new ultra low cost device made by this brand made its debut in the Asian peninsula: the Tecno Pop 6 Pro. Its key selling point is definitely an incredibly affordable price, as this is one of the most affordable devices in the market released this year. But earlier this year, to be accurate in January, the predecessor of this handset made its debut: the Tecno Pop 5 Pro. Several people are very confused because it looks like the predecessor has several better specifications than the new model. This is what brought us to publish an article about these two phones. This is a comparison between the specifications of the Tecno Pop 6 Pro and the Tecno Pop 5 Pro that will help you to understand which one is the best for your actual needs.

Tecno Pop 6 Pro vs Tecno Pop 5 Pro

Design

When it comes to the design, the Tecno Pop 6 Pro is definitely my favorite one and I think most people out there will like it more than its predecessor. Why do I say this? Simple: it looks more modern and original than the previous model. It has more interesting color options with a great pattern and a more beautiful camera module on the rear side. But there is also another important question: it is way thinner than the older model because it is equipped with a smaller battery. The device belonging to the fifth generation is very thick because its battery is huge. Last but not least, the screen to body ratio of the most recent model is higher. Note that the Tecno 5 Pro is equipped with a rear-mounted fingerprint reader, while the fingerprint scanner of the Tecno Pop 6 Pro is side-mounted. Are these pros enough to let you make your choice?

Display

The displays of these two devices differ slightly in terms of specifications, but when it comes to the image quality, it is essentially a draw and they offer similar quality. They are classic low-end panels with no great color reproduction but with a sufficient level of detail for everyone. They are not made to be looked at under direct sunlight, but the brightness is not disappointing. The Tecno Pop 5 Pro has an IPS LCD panel with a diagonal of 6.52 inches, an HD+ resolution of 720 x 1600 pixels, and a peak brightness of 480 nits. With the Tecno Pop 6 Pro, you get an IPS LCD display with a diagonal of 6.56 inches, an HD+ resolution of 720 x 1612 pixels, and a peak brightness of 480 nits. As you see, they are almost the same, there are just two slight differences in the diagonals and in the resolutions.

Hardware/Software

These two handsets are powered by the same mobile platform. We are talking about the entry-level Helio A22 chipset by MediaTek. It is an SoC built with a 12 nm production process and with a quad-core architecture composed of four Cortex A53 CPUs running at a max frequency of 2 GHz and a PowerVR GE8320 GPU. Currently, it is one of the cheapest mobile platforms out there, so you cannot expect very high performance from these two phones. The older Tecno Pop 5 Pro offers a higher amount of RAM: it reaches 3 GB, while you can get just 2 GB of RAM with the new Tecno Pop 6 Pro. Do not ask us the reasons for this choice. The internal storage is the same on each of these phones: 32 GB, and they can be furtherly expanded with the use of a micro SD slot. The software versions are different: the 5 Pro runs Android 11 Go Edition out of the box, while the 6 Pro has Android 12 Go Edition installed. So, with the latter, you should get better software optimization. However, given the lower amount of RAM, we expect better performance with the older model, especially in multi-tasking activities.

Camera

There is not any difference if we talk about the camera departments. The Tecno Pop 6 Pro and the Tecno Pop 5 Pro are equipped with a dual rear camera including a main sensor with an 8 MP resolution and an f/2.0 focal aperture, as well as a QVGA secondary sensor for depth info calculation. On the front, these handsets are equipped with a 5 MP selfie snapper placed in a waterdrop notch and paired with an interesting front-facing LED flash.

Battery

The Tecno Pop 5 Pro has a bigger battery, a huge battery: with a capacity of 6000 mAh, it is one of the best battery phones of this year. However, the Tecno Pop 6 Pro is all but disappointing in terms of battery life, thanks to its 5000 mAh unit.

Tecno Pop 6 Pro vs Tecno Pop 5 Pro: Price

The listing price of the Tecno Pop 5 Pro in India is about Rs. 7,800 (less than $100), while the Tecno Pop 6 Pro costs Rs. 5,999, which roughly translates into $75. Despite being an older model and having older software, the Tecno Pop 5 Pro wins the comparison thanks to its higher amount of RAM and bigger battery.
