Display

The Tecno Pop 6’s display is a massive upgrade from the low-resolution screen of the Tecno Pop 6 Go while being only slightly larger, at 6.1 inches. The 6.1 inches IPS LCD has a resolution of 720 x 1560 pixels, resulting in 282 pixels per inch, a significantly better density than the Pop 6 Go’s 179.

While the Tecno Pop 6 doesn’t have a significantly larger screen than the Pop 6 Go physically, the former can fit a lot more onto its display than the former, making it the better device in the display category.

Processor

Interestingly, the processor on the Tecno Pop 6 lineup remains a mystery, as Tecno lists it as a quad-core processor on its website. However, we don’t expect it to be anywhere near remarkable; if anything, it should be slow, as it powers Android Go, a lightweight Android version that runs lighter apps.

Battery

Nobody ever complains about the battery on Tecno phones, as they’ve always been excellent. Including a 5000 mAh battery with this smartphone is an overkill; the 4000 mAh on the Pop 6 Go already works wonders. If there’s one thing you won’t be needing after your Tecno Pop 6 purchase, it would be your power bank.

Cameras

The Tecno Pop 6 has a dual rear camera setup, including a 5 MP primary sensor and a supporting QVGA camera. It has a dual LED flash on the back to light up night shots, but the selfie camera is a single 5 MP sensor with a single LED flash. This phone won’t shoot 4k or 1080p at 60fps

You shouldn’t expect remarkable performance from the cameras in photography or videography. If you need a phone that takes pictures good enough for Instagram, you’ll need to pump up your budget slightly.

RAM/Internal Storage

Unlike the Tecno Pop 6 Go, the regular version of the Pop 6 has a single model with 32GB storage and 2GB RAM. While it sounds mediocre for 2022, it’s all you need to run Android 11 Go, which is the operating system that comes with the phone. If you need more storage for media, you can expand your storage using the micro SD card slot.

Water Resistance

Despite scoring high on most of the categories in this guide, water resistance is one area where we don’t expect it to do very well. The Tecno Pop 6 Go unsurprisingly has no ingress protection rating, making the smartphone susceptible to water and dust damage.

Biometrics/Sensors

Despite only being a budget device, the Tecno Pop 6 supports two unlock modes: face and fingerprint verification. However, the fingerprint unlock is the only secure unlock mode, as the “Face ID” only takes a picture of your face and compares it with anyone trying to unlock your device.

In short, a picture of your face will unlock your Tecno Pop 6 locked with Face ID, but the fingerprint sensor is virtually incorruptible. The phone also features an accelerometer and a proximity sensor to drive its most crucial features.

Operating System

Like the Tecno Pop 6 Go, the Tecno Pop 6 runs on HiOS, built on top of Android 11 Go, a lightweight version of the Android operating system for low-power devices. The concept of Android ‘Go’ shouldn’t be strange to anyone familiar with the Nigerian used phones market, as it’s almost all that’s available.

Android Go phones typically come with 1GB or 2GB of RAM, low internal storage, a weak processor, or lightweight apps. Instead of full-sized apps like Photos, YouTube, and Google, you get Gallery Go, YouTube Go, and Google Go with Android 11 Go.
