Editorial report

Tecno Pova 2 4 GB / 128 GB / International technical sheet

The Tecno Pova 2 suits people who put battery capacity first and can accept its main trade-off: performance worse than that of most phones of its time. Its 7,000 mAh battery has more capacity than most contemporaries. The 18 W fast charging is typical, and the phone also supports reverse charging.

This configuration has 4 GB of RAM and 64 GB of storage. The phone is also sold in 4 GB / 128 GB and 6 GB / 128 GB configurations. Its 6.9-inch IPS LCD display has a 1080 × 2460 px resolution and typical pixel density of 389 ppi. The 60 Hz refresh rate and 480 nits brightness are both worse than those of most phones of its time. At 207 g and 9.6 mm thick, it is also heavier and thicker than most.

The 48 MP rear camera has a typical resolution, but its f/1.9 aperture is worse than most and it lacks optical image stabilization. Video features include 4K recording and 240 fps slow motion. Connectivity includes NFC, USB Type-C, a 3.5 mm audio jack, Bluetooth 5.0, and dual-SIM support; the operating system is Android 11. With an overall NeoScore of 4.7, the Pova 2 is best suited to buyers who value a high-capacity battery more than light weight, a smoother display, or stronger performance.
