Tecno, the sub-brand of Transsion Holding, has expanded its range of budget smartphones by launching a new Pop 9 5G smartphone. After its debut in Africa, the company’s latest entry-level smartphone is now officially available in India. Tecno packs a decent set of features into the Pop 9 5G smartphone.
The Pop 9 5G features a 6.67-inch LCD display with 1600 x 720p resolution and 120Hz refresh rate. It is IP54 rated for dust and water resistance and supports NFC function. The design of the rear camera module of the smartphone is very similar to that of the new iPhone 16. It features a 48 MP Sony IMX582 main camera, complemented by a secondary AI sensor and a flashlight placed next to the camera module.
The entry-level smartphone is equipped with a MediaTek Dimensity 6300 processor based on 6-nm architecture. The main chipset is associated with 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB or 128 GB of storage, expandable by microSD card. The front is equipped with an 8-megapixel camera for selfies and video chats.
Under the hood, the device sports a 5,000mAh battery with support for 18W wired charging. The device runs on the HiOS 14 interface based on Android 14. However, there is no word on the brand’s software, indicating that new Android updates may never arrive. Other features include an IR blaster, dual speakers with Dolby Atmos support, and 5G connectivity. In terms of dimensions, the device measures 165 x 80 x 7.7 mm and weighs 189 grams.
