The Tecno WX4 Pro is a slight improvement over the main WX4.
With the major improvements happening in the RAM and connectivity departments, the WX4 Pro is the Camon CX Air, just less expensive and with toned down cameras.
Although yet to be officially launched down here in Nigeria, the device would be targetted at the youths who want an inexpensive device with an above average camera and performance.

Network and Software
As per usual, the Tecno WX4 Pro is a dual SIM device which, unlike the WX4, supports 4G LTE.
The familiar Android Nougat found on its ‘junior brother’ is also what the WX4 Pro ships with. Android Nougat through Tecno’s HiOS that is.
Design and Display
Design wise, the device shares a lot in common with the recent Camon series of devices and comes in about 4 different color options.
The display is an IPS LCD touchscreen with a size of about 5.0 inches diagonally and a resolution of 720 x 1280 pixels, bringing its pixel density to around 294.
Performance and Hardware
For heavy-lifting, a Quad-core MediaTek CPU clocked at about 1.3GHz is embedded within the device, and it is assisted by about 2 gigabytes of RAM.
The WX4 Pro’s onboard storage is the familiar 16GB which can be extended by a microSD card with capacities up to 32GB.
And no, you should not worry about ‘sacrificing’ a SIM slot for the external storage as it has its own dedicated slot.
Cameras
The WX4 Pro features 8-megapixel lenses both at the back and in front of the device.
The rear camera is supported by a dual-LED flash for low light conditions and has autofocus capabilities.
The front facing camera also has its own dedicated flash light as well.
Battery
The device also features a battery with a capacity of about 2800 mAh but with no ‘flash charging’ capabilities.
Noteworthy Mentions
At the back of the device is a fingerprint sensor for unlocking and securing the device.
Price
The device when launched should retail for well under N40,000 across offline and online stores
