Evidence-based overview

Pova 8 technical sheet

The Tecno Pova 8 uses a 6.76-inch IPS LCD with a 1,080 × 2,344-pixel resolution. Its 144Hz refresh rate and 240Hz touch sampling rate are suited to responsive interaction in compatible apps and games. The documented display features also include a peak brightness of 4,500 nits, Always-On Display, DCI-P3, scratch resistance and TÜV Rheinland Eye Comfort Certification. The plastic body weighs 225 g.

Hardware consists of a MediaTek Dimensity 7100, 8 GB of LPDDR5X RAM and up to 256 GB of UFS 2.2 storage, with expandable storage supported. The recorded figures are 811,323 in AnTuTu v11 and 695 in 3DMark Wild Life Extreme; these are documented benchmark values, not tests conducted by NeoTeo. Its 8,000mAh Si-Carbon Li-Ion battery supports 45W charging, reverse charging and bypass charging, but no measured endurance figure is available.

The 50MP rear main camera has a Sony LYT-600 sensor, an f/1.8 aperture, phase-detection autofocus and video recording up to 1440p at 30 fps. Optical image stabilization is not listed. Connectivity covers 5G, Wi-Fi 6, Bluetooth 5.4, NFC, infrared, GPS and dual Nano-SIM support. It suits users who prioritize a fast display, a large battery and broad connectivity, provided they can accept the 225g weight and USB 2.0.
