Tecno has started work on the budget-friendly smartphone lineup, the Tecno Pop Series 9. This will be a successor to last year’s Pop 8. In this article, let’s discuss the expected specs, price, and availability of this new series.
Tecno Pop 9 Series Rumors
Pop 9 is going to be similar to Pop 8
To up the competition, Tecno plans to unveil the affordable Pop 9 series in the smartphone market very soon. The recent launch of the Tecno Spark 20 Pro+ made quite an impression in the budget-friendly phone market. So can we expect the pop series to bring something similar to the table next?
While Tecno hasn’t officially announced the Pop 9 series yet, industry speculation and trends give us a good idea of what to expect. Based on its predecessor, the Pop 9 series will likely bring some key upgrades, such as better processing power, improved cameras, and a higher-quality display.
