Editorial report

Tecno Pova 5G technical sheet

The Tecno Pova 5G suits people looking for a large display and high battery capacity who can accept a camera among the weakest of its time. Its 6.9-inch display runs at 120 Hz, a typical refresh rate for phones launched around the same time. The screen also takes up a larger share of the body than on most phones of its time.

Its 6,000 mAh battery capacity is among the highest of its time, and the battery overall is better than most; 18 W fast charging is typical. The MediaTek Dimensity 900, 8 GB of RAM and UFS 3.1 storage accompany performance that is better than that of most phones of its time. Connectivity is also better than most, with 5G, NFC, Wi-Fi 6 and Dual Nano-SIM support.

The main trade-off is the camera: it is among the weakest of its time and lacks optical image stabilization. The 50 MP rear camera records 4K video at 30 fps, while the front camera has 16 MP. The Tecno Pova 5G has an overall NeoScore of 5.1, typical for its time. It is best suited to people who prioritize the display, battery capacity and connectivity over a more complete camera.
