Questions people ask
What model number is the Pop 2?

How much RAM does the Pop 2 have?
At least 1 GB in the smallest version sold. A copy often has less, whatever its Settings say.
Which Android versions does the Pop 2 run?
It came with Android 8. A version older than 8 means a different phone.

Open ogphonechecker.com on the phone itself and tap Check this phone. In about 20 seconds it compares the model code, graphics chip, RAM and screen with a real Pop 2, for free.
