Design and Display
This ‘Pro’ smartphone shows a decent metal unibody design as the regular variant. You are not likely to be able to tell the difference by mere look. The thickness, weight and colour offerings are practically the same.
Tecno i5 Pro sports a 5.5-inch display with an HD resolution of 1,280 x 720 pixels. If it’s not a case of sharpest or nothing, this touch screen should supply pleasing images. Colours in movies should still come out good.
Camera and Storage
On the rear, the Tecno i5 Pro rocks a solid looking 13 megapixel camera. This completes with features such as autofocus, subject tracking and flash for quality images. There is also a robust 8 megapixel selfie camera with LED flash.
Storage is an aspect where this phone improves over the Tecno i5. It offers double the space on the other device, at 32 GB. You can also expand storage for the Tecno i5 Pro using up to a 128GB microSD card.
Performance and OS
A quad-core MediaTek MT6737T processor sees to execution of tasks. While it might seem the i5 Pro is not likely to perform better than cheaper devices, the 3 GB of RAM should make the difference. The Tecno i5 Pro boots Android 7.0 Nougat, with Tecno’s own HiOS 1.1 skin on the surface.
Other Specs and Features
The same attention grabbing 4,000mAh Li-Ion juicer of the Tecno i5 is also here, promising many hours of use before needing a top-up. The oil-proof fingerprint scanner is also still in the mix to offer an extra layer of protection.
You can enjoy theoretical mobile download speeds of up to 300 Mbps with 4G LTE. There is support for Voice over LTE (VoLTE). Other connectivity features available with the Tecno i5 Pro include USB OTG, Bluetooth 4.2, and Wi-Fi 802.11 b/g/n with Wi-Fi Direct and hotspot functionality.
