NeoTeo's verdict
Which of the two is the better buy
The Tecno Pova Curve 2 is the more complete choice for performance, battery and connectivity: it scores 810,000 in AnTuTu versus 410,000, has 8,000 mAh versus 7,000 mAh, and adds 5G to LTE. The Tecno Pova 7 4G fits buyers who place more weight on the main camera and expandable storage.
The Curve 2 is also easier to handle: it weighs 195 g versus 225 g and is 7.4 mm thick versus 9.3 mm. Its display reaches 144 Hz and 429 ppi, while the Pova 7 4G offers 120 Hz and 396 ppi. The latter uses more of the front panel, with 84.5% usable surface versus 71.1%, and has 2,460 px of vertical resolution versus 2,364 px.
For photography, the Pova 7 4G has a 108 MP main camera versus 50 MP and records 1080p at 60 fps, although the Curve 2 has a 13 MP front camera versus 8 MP. The Curve 2 adds 12 GB of RAM versus 8 GB, Android 16 versus Android 15, and Bluetooth 5.4 versus 5.3; the Pova 7 4G keeps a microSD slot. The choice is therefore performance and battery, or main-camera resolution and expandable storage.
