Editorial report

Tecno Pova 3 4 GB / 64 GB / International technical sheet

The Tecno Pova 3 suits people who prioritize a large battery and can accept a heavy phone and a display with a lower refresh rate than most phones of its time. Its 7000 mAh battery capacity is among the highest of that period, and it supports reverse charging; wired charging is rated at 33 W. That combination is its clearest draw for anyone looking for substantial battery capacity and a way to share power.

The 6.9-inch IPS LCD display has a resolution of 1080 × 2460 px, but its 90 Hz refresh rate is lower than that of most phones launched around the same time. The body weighs 230 g and is 9.4 mm thick. The 50 MP rear camera has an f/1.8 aperture and records video up to 1440p at 30 fps; its 1/2.76-inch sensor is smaller than those in most phones of its time. Optical image stabilization is absent. This international version pairs a MediaTek Helio G88 with 4 GB of RAM and expandable 64 GB storage. The phone is also sold in a 6 GB / 128 GB configuration.

Battery capacity is among the Pova 3’s strongest specifications compared with phones of its time, while its overall standing is typical. Its overall NeoScore is 4.7. It is a fit for people who put battery capacity and reverse charging first, and are willing to accept the compromises in weight, display refresh rate, and sensor size.
