Editorial report
Tecno Pova 8 Pro 12 GB / 256 GB / Global technical sheet
The Tecno Pova 8 Pro suits buyers who put a smooth display and generous hardware first; connectivity is its main trade-off against phones launched around the same time. It has been on sale since August 18.
Its 6.78-inch AMOLED display pairs a 144 Hz refresh rate with 4,500 nits of peak brightness, both better than those of most phones from the same time. Pixel density is 429 ppi. The body weighs 189 g and is 7.4 mm thick, making it relatively light and slim. A Dimensity 7400 Ultra comes with 12 GB of RAM and 512 GB of UFS 3.1 storage, more than most phones launched around then. Storage cannot be expanded.
The 50 MP rear camera uses a 1/1.56-inch sensor, optical image stabilization and 4K video recording at 30 fps; the front camera is 13 MP. There is no optical zoom. IP68 and IP69K protection and water resistance to 1.5 m are also part of the package. The 6,500 mAh battery has more capacity than most phones from its time, while wired charging is 45 W and reverse charging is supported. It runs Android 16.
Overall, the Pova 8 Pro is above average: its display and performance are better than most phones launched around the same time, and its camera and battery are above average. Connectivity is below average. With a NeoScore of 7.2, it is a strong fit for buyers focused on the display and ample memory.
