Tecno Pop 9 5G
Launched in September last year, the Tecno Pop 9 is a budget 5G phone that offers great value for money. While the Dimensity 6300 chipset may not be the fastest in the price bracket, it does come with a large 6.6-inch 120Hz LCD screen with HD+ resolution.
The device has a squircle camera island on the back that houses a 48MP Sony IMX582 primary camera that takes good photos. You also get a 8MP selfie shooter, which should be enough for video calls.
Tecno Pop 9 comes with HIOS based on Android 14 out of the box and offers up to 8GB RAM and 128GB storage. This is backed by a 5,000mah battery that charges at 18W. If you are looking for a budget 5G phone that offers decent performance and has a good primary camera, the Tecno Pop 9 is an easy recommendation.
The base variant of the phone with 4GB RAM and 64GB storage is currently available on Amazon for Rs 9,499, but if you spend a bit more, we recommend going with the 8GB RAM version, which can be purchased for Rs 11,999.
