Editorial report

Tecno Pova Curve 2 technical sheet

The Tecno Pova Curve 2 suits buyers who want a large, very bright display and a high-capacity battery. Its main trade-off is storage: this configuration has 8GB / 128GB, and 128GB is less than most phones of its time.

The 6.78″ AMOLED display combines 144Hz, 429 ppi and 4,500 nits. Its 144Hz refresh rate is among the best of its time, while brightness and pixel density are better than most phones of its time. The 7.4mm body is also among the thinnest, although the usable screen surface is 71.1%. IP64 resists water and dust, while MIL-STD-810H covers shocks and drops.

The 8,000mAh battery has more capacity than most phones of its time. It supports 45W charging, reverse charging and bypass charging. The Dimensity 7100, 8GB LPDDR5X, 5G, Wi-Fi 6, NFC and Bluetooth 5.4 make the hardware versatile. Its 50MP rear camera has an f/1.8 aperture but no optical image stabilization or optical zoom, and the camera is among the weakest of its time. With an overall NeoScore of 6.1, the Tecno Pova Curve 2 is a stronger choice for display and battery priorities than for storage or camera flexibility.
