Battery and Durability Features
TECNO has positioned the POP X 5G as a device built for extended daily use. The phone houses a 6,500mAh battery, which the company claims can last through a full day of heavy usage. It supports 45W fast charging, allowing users to recharge the large battery relatively quickly.
The device carries an IP64 rating, meaning it offers protection against dust ingress and water splashes from any direction. TECNO said the phone has also undergone drop testing for durability, though the company did not specify the height or surface conditions of these tests.
Connectivity and Network Performance
On the connectivity front, the POP X 5G features 4×4 MIMO, a technology that uses multiple antennas to send and receive data simultaneously, improving signal strength and data speeds. The device also supports 5G carrier aggregation, which combines multiple network bands to deliver faster download speeds.
TECNO has included a feature called FreeLink Communication, which the company claims allows users to stay connected in areas with weak or no network coverage. The company did not provide technical details on how this feature operates.
Display and Software Features
The smartphone features a 120Hz display, meaning the screen refreshes 120 times per second for smoother scrolling and more responsive touch input compared to standard 60Hz panels. This refresh rate has become increasingly common in budget smartphones over the past two years.
TECNO has bundled several AI-powered software features with the device. These include noise cancellation for calls, a writing assistant tool and an AI Eraser function for editing photographs. The company did not specify whether these features require internet connectivity or process data locally on the device.
