Tecno M6 Specifications and Features

Tecno is currently on a phone releasing spree and even though the phones are sometimes alike in terms of physical form there are some differences in terms designs and specifications. For example the placement of the back camera may be top-right or top-center. 

Just recently, the Tecno M6 android smartphone was released. The device is beautiful and well designed. It has a plastic polycarbonate casing that makes gripping the phone not a hassle. Below is a list of the specifications of the Tecno M6 smartphone.  

Network and SIM card

Tecno M6 is a dual SIM/standby smartphone which means that two SIM cards can be used on the device and both SIM card will be active simultaneously. Furthermore it supports 3.75G,3G and 2G networks. No support for 4G usual.

Operating System

The Tecno M6 comes with Android KitKat 4.4.2 right from the box and it has a cool, flat and clean user interface.

Screen Dimension and Type

By now it is a known fact that Tecno favours the phablet screen size more than the smartphone screen size, this is especially true if one notices that most recent devices have minimum screeb size of 5 inches. Also, the Tecno M6 has a 5.0 inch IPS touchscreen with 16 million colours and a resolution of 480 x 854.

Processor and Memory

The Tecno M6 spots a quad core MediaTek processor clocked at 1.3GHz which is at least enough to keep the device running without issues. Also, it has a RAM of 1GB. This may be a disappointment to some but this is according to Tecno a medium end smartphone.

Internal Memory and Memory Card

The device comes with 8GB internal memory and SD card slot that supports up to 32GB memory card. Hence, if you ever feel like the 8GB memory isn't enough, you can always bump up the memory by installing a memory card.

Camera

Tecno M6 has a 8.0 mega pixel back camera which is located at the top-right corner of the phone and the LED flash light located just beside the camera.

Likewise, the front side of the smartphone has a 2.0 mega pixel camera attached to it for all your selfies and video calls. The 8.0 back camera is good enough for taking pictures during the day and night time with the help of the flashlight.

It can also record videos, do geo-tagging, face detection and the you can also adjust the image size before taking pictures.

Battery

The Tecno M6 comes with a 2020mAh non removable battery which should last a day of basic use for a period of time

Sensors and Connectivity

As we all know, the sensor department for Tecno phones have been stagnant for a long time. All you can hope for is proximity, light and gyro sensors and the Tecno M6 is no different in this regard.

However, when it comes to connectivity set, a new addition has been added to the mix. This new addition is called the HotKnot. The HotKnot feature allows you to share files very quickly without the need to pair devices as required by Bluetooth. In fact, the HotKnot is a smaller version of the NFC.

With the HotKnot feature, all you have to do is select the item you want to share and tap the other HotKnot enabled device with your device and immediately you will see the shared item on the recipient device. No pairing of any sort required.

If you are looking for wireless charging which is fast becoming the norm these days; am sorry to burst your bubble. You only get the WiFi, WiFi hotspot, Bluetooth v4.0, 3.5mm earphone port and the new HotKnot feauture. It also has support for USB OTG, GPS and AGPS.

Miscellaneous

As usual it comes pre-installed with GMail app, calendar, Whatsapp, Opera and some other slew of apps including Facebook and the likes. It also has a FM radio transmitter for those that like listening to radios, flashlight and palmchat app.

Price

Finally, the last time i checked, the price for the Tecno M6 is N20,000 and you can get yours at Divine Anyi Communications, Zeenco Plaza Ikeja, Lagos or call the numbers +2348060791362, +2347031109383 

Verdict

For the price and the nice neat design, we can say that the Tecno M6 is a pretty good, affordable and OK smartphone. 

Although, we believe that the battery power isn't good and also the resolution is not too great hence a score of 6/10 is what we give the Tecno M6 smartphone.
