TECNO brand has introduced a 4G version of the POP 9 smartphone. The device costs less than a hundred dollars, but it has a fast screen, a capacious battery and a dual camera. The display is a 6.67-inch IPSIn Plane Switching (IPS) panels are an expensive option but they have excellent colour accuracy and far greater viewing angles then TN and VA panels (Not that we condone slouching while gaming). They are great for graphics design and photo editing. However, the only downside to IPS panels if that they can sometimes have a slower response time than TN panels. This is the only real problem if you’re a very competitive gamer or want to game in 3D. As of late “IPS” has become a big marketing word. Step into an Apple store and you would be hard pressed talking to someone that didn’t mention Apple’s “brand new IPS Displays!” In fact, Apple is probably one of the biggest marketers of this “new-found” technology. As a business person myself, this is when you have to tip your hat to Apple’s awesome marketing machine. Why? Well, because IPS is actually nothing new. In fact, this technology was originally invented in 1996 by Hitachi..panel with HD+ resolution and 90Hz refresh rate. The backbone of the smartphone is a Helio G50 chip, complemented by 3GB of RAMRandom Access Memory (RAM) is the place in a computer where the operating system, application programs, and data in current use are kept so that they can be quickly reached by the computers processor. and 64GB of permanent storage, expandable up to 1TB via microSD. The rear camera includes a primary 13-megapixel sensor, and for selfies and video calls there is an 8MP front-facing camera. The POP 9 is powered by a 5,000mAh battery with 15W charging support and the OS is Android 14 Go Edition. Other specs include a 3.5mm audio output, a fingerprint scanner on the side edge and IP54 water and dust resistance.
