Buying in Pakistan
- Check the IMEI and exact model — the Pop 7 Pro (Helio A22, 12MP main), the Pop 8 (Unisoc T606, 90Hz) and the Pop 5 LTE (single camera, 6.1″ display) are different phones. smartprix reports the model as BF6, though that is a single source, so it is not listed in the spec table.
- Confirm the warranty on the unit you are buying.
- Confirm PTA status via DIRBS, within the 60-day window.
- Check the battery health on any used unit — the original 5000mAh will have degraded, and this phone is mostly sold used or refurbished now.
- Make sure it is the Pop 7 (Unisoc SC9863A, 6.6″ 720p, dual 8MP, 2GB RAM) and not the Pro or the Pop 8.
Final Verdict: A 5000mAh battery at Rs. 20,999
The 6.6-inch display, 5000mAh battery, rear fingerprint sensor and Rs. 20,999 price are a fair package for a basic phone, and it is the cheapest Tecno with a big battery — if you accept 2GB RAM. The weakest points are the 2GB RAM, the 720p 60Hz display, the 8MP camera and the 10W charging. The trap is the name — check the chip (Unisoc SC9863A), the 6.6″ display and the dual 8MP camera before paying.
