TECNO Pop 4 vs TECNO Spark 4: Where The POP 4 Reigns Supreme

The POP 4 has a larger battery (imagine what you’d do with a fully charged 5,000mAh battery) that lets you enjoy more time on the internet or extra screen hours for your favourite series. It also boasts a more recent version of the Android OS and is a tad cheaper than the Spark 4.

It also boasts a prettier design (in my opinion) with its sleek plastic body. However, it lacks 4G LTE support, which is a bummer.

TECNO POP 4 vs TECNO Spark 4: Which Should You Go For?

As stated earlier, both devices share the same RAM, and internal storage space. However, some of their distinguishable differences are in their individual battery capacities, camera performance, mobile network support, and software versions.

And from where I am seated typing this up, the TECNO Spark 4 edges out its opponent. Yes, it has a lower battery capacity and a slightly older Android OS, but its camera performance, larger display and better processor performance see it slightly edge it over the POP 4.

That is not to say the POP 4 does not have its perks, but when placed side by side with the Spark 4, the Spark 4 comes out tops.
