The Pop series by Tecno falls under the entry-level category, one of their most affordable lineup of phones. The Tecno Pop 8 has a refreshing design with a center-hole punch display. It has noticeable bezels around the display, but it’s expected since it’s an entry-level phone. The display size is 6.6 inches, with a 90Hz refresh rate and 1080p resolution. It has a plastic build with a USB-C charging port and a side-mounted fingerprint scanner. The phone is available in different colors, but the Alpenglow Gold color is better. It glows when light hits it.
The Tecno Pop 8 runs on Android 13 Go Edition, powered by the Unisoc T606. It has 3 or 4GB RAM with 64 or 128 GB storage space. You can also expand the storage by using an SD card. The phone will handle basic tasks swiftly and some minimal games like Candy Crush without a problem.
It has a 13MP primary camera and a second 0.08 depth lens at the back of the phone. You can shoot 1080p videos with the rear cameras of the phone, and it has an 8MP selfie camera. Cameras are not the strength of the phone, so you need to be in an environment with good lighting to get great photos with the Tecno Pop 8.
The phone has a 5000mAh battery, which supports 10 watts fast charging. It can last a whole day on a single charge. It takes over 2 hours to charge from zero to a hundred.
