• Android 8.0 Oreo Go with 512MB RAM
• Quad-core 1.3GHz MediaTek Processor
• 8GB built-in storage and memory card support up to 32GB
• 5MP rear camera and 2MP front camera

DESIGN

It Sports a removable and colourful Plastic cover that lacks specific features. It’s obvious it has no fingerprint scanner just by looking at the body. The rear camera and LED flash are placed in the same position just like the Camon X and X Pro.

It comes in four beautiful colours to suit your style and personality. There’s Champagne Gold, Ice Blue, Dark Blue and Elegant Black. The affordable smartphone measures 9.7mm in thickness, enabling a perfect grip for users.

DISPLAY

From the front, it looks like most TECNO budget smartphones. Coming with the usual top and bottom bezel, while the narrow bezel is almost non-existent. Typical of what we see in their W budget series.

The top bezel houses the speaker grille, selfie camera and front LED flash, while the bottom has navigation buttons. The 5-inch FWVGA IPS capacitive touchscreen should display your games and movies pretty nicely with 854 x 480 pixels in resolution.

HARDWARE AND SOFTWARE

The TECNO F1 is built for speed according to the company, housing a MediaTek chip with a 4-core processor and 32-bit CPU architecture. The Quad-core processor reaches a speed of 1.3GHz with 28nm process technology for a smooth ride.

Multitasking light apps with its 512MB of RAM space, which shouldn’t be a problem since it runs on Android 8.0 Oreo Go Edition out of the box. The operating system comes with pre-installed with highly optimized apps like Facebook Lite and YouTube Go. While for storage, there’s 8GB space which is upgradeable up to 32GB.
