What CompareTab says about TCL 501 vs POCO F9 Pro
POCO F9 Pro has clear advantages in memory, battery capacity and display refresh rate over 501, with 12 GB of RAM versus 2 GB, 256 GB of storage versus 32 GB, a 6330 mAh battery versus 3000 mAh, and a 185 Hz display instead of 60 Hz. It also adds a higher-resolution rear camera (200 MP versus 5 MP), optical image stabilization on the main camera, an ultrawide rear camera, and 100W charging. TCL 501, however, is around $630 cheaper and lighter at 178.5 g versus 206 g. The main trade-off is F9 Pro’s extra RAM, storage, faster charging, battery capacity, and smoother display versus 501’s lower price and lighter build.
