While Tecno is gearing up to launch the Pop X 4G in India, Looks like the company may also introduce a Pop X 5G variant at a later stage. The upcoming Pop X 5G has already received BIS certification in India under the model number KN8, indicating that regulatory approvals are in place and the launch timeline could be approaching. The device has also appeared in the IMEI database with the moniker “POP X 5G”, further confirming its existence and hinting that Tecno is preparing to expand its entry-level 5G portfolio in the country.
The BIS listing typically signals that a device is in the final stages of pre-launch compliance, and combined with the IMEI database entry, it strongly suggests that the Pop X 5G could debut soon after the 4G model. Tecno has been aggressively expanding its budget lineup in India, and introducing an affordable 5G smartphone under the Pop series would align with the brand’s strategy of bringing next-gen connectivity to entry-level users.
With the Pop X 4G launch imminent and the Pop X 5G already surfacing in certification databases, Tecno appears ready to strengthen its foothold in the ultra-budget segment. If priced aggressively, the Pop X 5G could become one of the most affordable 5G smartphones in India, targeting first-time smartphone buyers and users upgrading from feature phones.
