Software, Design, Display
As per usual, the Tecno W1 is a dual SIM device which, as you would expect for that price, does not support 4G LTE.
The familiar Android Nougat found on most Android devices launched in 2017 is also what the W1 ships with. Android Nougat through Tecno’s HiOS that is.
Design-wise, the device is made of plastic and comes in about 3 different color options.
The display is a TN touchscreen with a size of about 4.0 inches diagonally and a resolution of 480 x 800 pixels, bringing its pixel density to around 233.

The Tecno W1’s onboard storage is 8GB large which can be further extended by a microSD card with capacities up to 32GB.
The Tecno W1 features a 0.3-megapixel front facing shooter which has a dedicated LED flash and at the back is a 2 MP lens having another LED flashlight beneath.
