Tecno Pop 7

OhoPrice editorial review

Our Take: The Tecno Pop 7 at Rs 18,999 delivers a large display and 5000 mAh battery at a competitive price, though its processor lags behind similarly priced competitors. The Unisoc SC9863A is a 28 nm chip that handles basic tasks without significant drama, though the PowerVR GE8322 GPU struggles with gaming. With 2 GB of RAM, the phone struggles with multitasking — opening a third app often causes the first one to close from memory. The 64 GB of storage is generous for the price, offering room for thousands of photos and dozens of apps. The 6.6-inch display at 267 PPI is comfortable for reading and browsing, and the 8 mm thickness makes the phone relatively slim. The dual 8 MP + QVGA rear camera captures passable daylight photos, and the 5 MP selfie camera handles basic video calls. The 5000 mAh battery provides standard all-day endurance. This phone suits budget-focused buyers who want a large display and adequate storage. The Infinix Smart 7 HD at Rs 18,999 matches the Pop 7 on price, storage (64 GB), battery (5000 mAh), and RAM (2 GB). The two phones are near-identical on paper — the main difference is branding and design. The Tecno's 8 mm thickness is slightly slimmer than the Infinix's 8.7 mm, making it more pocketable. Both phones share similar camera setups and processor classes. The Infinix's 500-nit brightness ensures better outdoor readability than the Tecno's unspecified brightness rating. For buyers who want the slimmer phone, the Tecno Pop 7 delivers a minor design advantage; the Infinix Smart 7 HD appeals to those who prioritise outdoor screen visibility.
