You get a slightly bigger screen, a better procesor, more RAM, more storage memory, and a much bigger memory. So, if you are wondering which of the two phones is better, TECNO POP 4 is much better than TECNO POP 3. TECNO POP 4 vs TECNO POP 3 Plus: What are the differences? What of the POP 3 Plus? Is the POP 4 a worthy upgrade? Which is the better of the two? Again, TECNO POP 4 is a much better device than the POP 3 Plus. While the POP 3 Plus has a bigger, 6.5-inch, display, the POP 4 is better at almost everything else – processor, cameras, RAM, storage memory, and battery. However, TECNO POP 3 Plus is a 4G LTE smartphone. TECNO POP 4 vs itel P36: What are the differences? itel P36 and TECNO POP 4 are almost direct competitors, but the P36 falls behind a little.

But itel P36’s display is bigger (6.5 inches) and has a higher resolution (720×1600 pixels), meaning images will be more detailed on it. So, it is a question of whether you are willing to take more RAM and storage in the POP 4 over a better display in the P36. Tough; right? Both devices will set you back by approximately ₦34,000. See our detailed TECNO POP 4 vs itel P36 comparison. TECNO POP 4 vs TECNO Spark 4: Are they the same? Which is better? The POP 4 is different from Spark 4, though they share some similarities. For one, TECNO Spark 4 costs much more than the POP 4 does. What are the similarities between Pop 4 and Spark 4? They both offer 2GB RAM and 32GB storage memory. They both have a Helio A22 chipset, as well as an 8-megapixel selfie camera. They both also have Face Unlock and fingerprint scanner. From there, the differences begin. The Spark 4 is the more powerful of the two devices. While both phones share the same chipset, it is clocked higher in the Spark 4. What are the differences between TECNO POP 4 and TECNO Spark 4? The Spark 4 has a slightly bigger display. The display resolution is also higher, meaning its display produces sharper details.

In summary, if you want more features and better performance, TECNO Spark 4 is the better choice between the two devices. Of course, it costs more too, as already mentioned. At the time of the launch of TECNO POP 4 with a price tag of ₦34,000, the Spark 4 cost about ₦45,000.

If you are unable to find the Pop 4 to buy, you should have a look at this list of TECNO Pop 4 alternatives. For about ₦3,000 more, you can get the 4G-enabled POP 4 Pro listed below.
TECNO Pop 4 Pro Specifications
The POP 4 Pro is a more capable version and brings a more modern design and look, with minimal bezels, as well as a better processor, more capable cameras, as well as 4G LTE capability, to the table. TECNO POP 4 vs POP 4 Pro: What are the differences? Besides having a different, more modern design, the POP 4 Pro adds 4G LTE support via a different processor, gets a dual rear camera, and an 8MP selfie camera, but loses half the RAM. Losing half the RAM is a bummer, but we guess it was done to keep the price of the phone down. But note that it loses some multitasking abilities when compared to the basic POP 4.
