Since that successful debut, they have relentlessly pushed for gadgets that are the perfect combination of stylish designs and inventive technology.

Look and Feel of Tecno Pop 5
The Tecno Pop 5 comes in a blue pack similar to the Pop 4. When you open the pack, you will find the phone covered with nylon and a sticker. The pack also contains the warranty card, the micro-USB cable, the 5W charger, and a pair of earphones.
Unlike the majority of Tecno devices, the Tecno Pop 5 has a relatively simple design. It is completely made of plastic. It’s a device not intended to impress. The smartphone comes with a pre-installed screen protector, and the 6.1 TFT display screen provides a 720 x 1560 pixel resolution, which amounts to 330 PPI.
This is a slight improvement from the Pop 4 because it offers a better display that is more vibrant. Tecno Pop 5 comes in variant colors such as Ice Lake Green, Obsidian Black, and Ice Blue.
Camera
The Tecno Pop 5 comes with a notch instead of the humongous bezels. The notch houses a 5MP selfie camera, and there is no automatic brightness adjustment for the display. The rear has a camera sensor consisting of 5MP VGA lenses and an LED flash.

Sound and Sensors
The Tecno Pop 5 features a fingerprint (rear-mounted) sensor that is not so adept, but capable, regardless. It also has an accelerometer sensor and a proximity sensor.
The Tecno Pop 5 comes with a loudspeaker attached to the rear; this loudspeaker has a small bump that lifts the phone to allow the passage of sound when placed on a flat surface.

The Tecno Pop 5 supports dual SIM input, and the memory card slot has an expendable storage of up to 256 GB. To insert the SIM cards and memory cards, all you have to do is open the rear cover to see the slots.
Power
Like most Tecno smartphones (including the high-end ones), the Tecno Pop 5 has a non-removable Li-Ion 4000 mAh battery and the phone runs on Android 10 (Go edition) + HIOS.

Memory and Processor
The Tecno Pop 5 has a Unisoc SC7731e processor which has four cores (Quadcore) and runs at 1.3Ghz. It also has 1GB RAM and 16GB ROM.
These specifications do not make the device fast or efficient at multitasking. The software edition is the Android 10 Go packed with the usual bloatware or unwanted apps. In most cases, the Tecno Pop 5 comes with a waiting software update.
Mobile Connectivity
Unlike the Tecno Pop 5 Pro, the mobile connectivity of the Tecno Pop 5 is limited to 3G. Internet speed might be stable but not as fast compared to 4G-enabled phones. Wi-Fi can only connect to 3.4 Ghz bands.
