Tecno Pop 6 Go Review: An Entry-Level Android Go Phone

Design and Display:
Measuring 160.3 x 78.8 x 10.9mm and lightweight, the form factor makes it comfortable to hold. It has a 6-inch LCD screen with HD+ resolution and an acceptable 73.5% screen-to-body ratio.

Hardware and Performance:
Powered by 1/2GB RAM depending on storage variant, the Pop 6 Go is stripped back for basic tasks. Android 11 Go Edition keeps performance smooth. Don’t expect much from its entry-level MediaTek chipset.

Cameras:
A single 5MP rear camera handles photos. No rear flash may be limiting in low light. The 5MP front camera is adequate for video calls. Video recording tops out at 720p.

Battery Life:
A 4,000mAh battery should provide around a day’s worth of light usage per charge given Android Go’s optimizations. However, no fast charging support.

Value and Verdict:
Priced at about 200,000 Naira, the Tecno Pop 6 Go delivers simple functionality for basic phone users on a tight budget. Just manage expectations given its low-end specs. Wi-Fi only is also a limitation. Otherwise, it does its job well for the price.
