NeoTeo's verdict

Which of the two is the better buy

The Tecno Pop X 5G is the most complete choice for performance, battery, and connectivity: it reaches 449,500 in AnTuTu, offers 6,500 mAh, and supports 5G. The Pop X 4G is the alternative for slow-motion video and Bluetooth 5.2; the Pop 5X only makes sense if it costs less.

The Pop X 5G also gives 128 GB versus 64 GB on the Pop X 4G and 32 GB on the Pop 5X, plus 4 GB of RAM versus 2 GB on the Pop 5X. Its main camera is 50 MP, compared with 13 MP and 8 MP. Both Pop X models have 120Hz displays and Android 15.

For battery, the Pop X 5G combines 6,500 mAh with 45W charging; the Pop X 4G offers 5,000 mAh and 15W, while the Pop 5X drops to 4,000 mAh and 6W. The Pop X 4G keeps one clear advantage: Bluetooth 5.2 versus 5.0 and 4.2, plus slow-motion recording that the other two lack.
