NeoTeo's verdict
Which of the two is the better buy
The Tecno Pop X 5G is the most complete choice for 5G connectivity and performance, while the Pop X adds 6 GB of RAM and Android 16 to that foundation. The Pop X 4G trails and only makes sense if it costs less.
The Pop X and Pop X 5G share the MediaTek Dimensity 6400, Mali-G57 MC2 GPU, 2.5 GHz and 128 GB, while the Pop X 4G uses the Unisoc T7250, Mali-G57 MP1, 1.8 GHz and 64 GB. The Pop X has 6 GB of RAM versus 4 GB in both rivals and Android 16 versus Android 15. For cameras, the Pop X and Pop X 5G offer 50 MP, compared with 13 MP on the 4G model.
Battery separates the 4G model again: the Pop X and Pop X 5G have 6,500 mAh and 45 W charging, against 5,000 mAh and 15 W. Both 5G models also include IP64 and MIL-STD-810H, while the 4G model stops at IP64. The Pop X brings Bluetooth 5.3 versus 5.2 and 5.0, and its stereo speakers add a practical difference.
