Tecno Pop 8 Expert Review Summary
Expert Rating:
![Ashish Kumar]()
Verdict
The Tecno Pop 8 offers satisfactory performance for its price. Additionally, it comes with several notable features such as a matte finish, stereo speakers, up to 8GB RAM, and a 6.6-inch display with decent outdoor visibility. The 5,000mAh battery ensures a lasting performance, but the 10W charger takes around two hours for a full charge.
Pros
- Satisfactory performance
- Stereo speakers
- Respectable battery life
Cons
- Cameras need improvement
- Slow charging speeds
Design and display
+
The Tecno Pop 8 boasts an interesting design, which, for its price, I believe many will appreciate. The phone has been crafted out of plastic, featuring flat edges and a back panel. The edges are nicely curved, ensuring a comfortable grip without digging into the palm. Moving on to the back panel, three individual camera rings are arranged in the top-left corner. The absence of a camera module results in a clean look. Assisting this is a matte finish, preventing fingerprints and smudges. Additionally, adding to the overall appeal, the handset features symmetrical lines on the back panel with a glossy finish.

Cameras

When it comes to cameras, the Tecno Pop 8 boasts a 12MP+AI lens at the back. For selfies and video calling, it relies on an 8MP shooter. The images produced are good enough for the price. While there isn't an abundance of details or sharpness, the colours, at least in daylight, look good. The cameras exhibit prompt focus in areas with ample lighting conditions. In low light or indoors, you will have to deal with a lot of noise in the shots. Regarding portraits, they need improvement with edge detection.

Performance and software
+
At the core of the Tecno Pop 8 lies Unisoc T606 SoC. It is a chipset that works well for basic needs such as messaging, streaming, and scrolling social media apps. The handset will stutter handling anything more than that, including gaming and multitasking. The handset is said to be the first smartphone with 8GB RAM in the segment; however, it is important to note that 4GB is virtual which is deducted from its 64GB onboard storage. The latter is further expandable using a microSD card in the dedicated slot.

Battery and charging speeds
+
The Tecno Pop 8 boasts a 5,000mAh battery capacity, which, given the device's usage, should last for more than a day and then some between charges. The phone scored 15 hours and 2 minutes on the PC Mark battery test. It comes with a 10W charger in the box, taking roughly two hours to charge a dead battery to 100 percent.
