Design
This smartphone has a nice, clean and no-frills look. It does not stand out sharply compared to other devices on the market. Its dimensions of 78.9 mm wide, 161.7 mm long and 9.55 mm thick make it comfortable to use with one hand. This is an important requirement in today's dynamic living conditions. We want to review messages from friends, work emails and scroll through social networks while comfortably holding the cup of coffee in the other hand early in the morning. The weight of the Tecno Pop 2 Plus is 205 grams. It is not the lightest model, but still pleases with ergonomic shapes.
If we are to appreciate the overall simplicity of using a phone in view of its size and weight, then no problem will arise in everyday use.
Tecno Pop 2 Plus can be found on the market in several colors, including two shades of black and gold.
Display
The Tecno Pop 2 Plus will delight you with a decently large screen for today's standards. Its diagonal is 5.99 inches. Such a screen is great for viewing photos, videos and games. You'll enjoy them for hours. The screen of the Tecno Pop 2 Plus is also suitable for productive work, for example for creating business documents.
In terms of quality, the screen looks slightly pixelated. However, this doesn't have much of a negative impact on the daily use of the Tecno Pop 2 Plus. It is made with IPS LCD technology. The aspect ratio is 18:9, with the screen occupying 72.8% of the front area of the Tecno Pop 2 Plus. The resolution is 480 x 960 pixels. The pixel density per inch is 179.
Performance
The Tecno Pop 2Plus is equipped with a 4-core MediaTek MT6580P processor (1.3 GHz Cortex-A7), which is made using 28nm process technology. Mali-400MP2 is responsible for the graphics.
The smartphone has only 1 GB of RAM, which is small for a 2019 device. Cases of not having enough memory will be common, so you have to bet on using lighter apps. Then there will be no instability in performance.
The internal storage is 16 GB. If for photos it will be enough, for videos and more games it is insufficient. To solve this problem, the manufacturer has provided a memory card slot. With it, you will instantly solve the inconvenience and not worry about the lack of space for your precious memories.
A plus of the model is the presence of a fingerprint scanner on the rear panel, which works satisfactorily fast.
Cameras
The main camera of the Tecno Pop 2 Plus is a single 5 MP. While it can serve you in most cases, the quality of the pictures may not fully satisfy you. This model is not made specifically for mobile photography enthusiasts. Shoot as much as you have that feature.
The front camera on the other hand is 8 MP. It will take satisfactory quality selfies. However, if you rely on group shots, don't expect brilliant results. The quality of the print footage isn't the highest either.
To enhance the photos, Tecno Mobile has provided LED flashes for both the front and rear cameras.
With the Tecno Pop 2 Plus in hand, you'll be able to shoot 1080 pixel resolution videos at 30 frames per second. That's standard for this class of smartphone in 2019.
Autonomous operation
The Tecno Pop 2 Plus has a 5000 mAh battery, which is quite a lot. Compared to other models, this battery guarantees you a long-lasting charge. You will be pleasantly amazed by the autonomy of the smartphone. Even if you watch videos or play games for a long time, you will not see the charge about to "melt".
Conclusion
Tecno Pop 2 Plus is a typical representative of budget smartphones for its time. It is characterized by an indistinguishable, but pleasant appearance. It's comfortable for extended work and will appeal to anyone who wants to tick off some work while on the road. The satisfyingly large screen is conducive to engaging hours of looking at photos, watching movies, videos or even surfing the web.
This Tecno Mobile model is an advantageous choice for people who are not looking for flagship features.
