Editorial report

Tecno Pova Curve 8 GB / 128 GB / Global technical sheet

The Tecno Pova Curve suits buyers seeking a slim, light 5G phone with a particularly smooth display. Its main trade-off is storage: this configuration has 128 GB and no expansion slot.

Its 6.78-inch AMOLED display runs at 144 Hz, which is among the best of its time. The screen also occupies 89.7% of the front, better than most phones of its time. At 7.5 mm thick and 188.5 g, the phone is thinner and lighter than most phones of its time. Peak brightness reaches 1300 nits, while Gorilla Glass 7i protects the display.

The MediaTek Dimensity 7300 Ultimate, 8 GB of DDR5 RAM and 710,000 AnTuTu score give it typical hardware for phones of its time. Its 64 MP rear camera has higher resolution than most phones of its time, records 4K video and uses an f/1.8 aperture, but it has no optical stabilization or optical zoom. Connectivity is better than most phones of its time, with 5G, Wi-Fi 6E, Bluetooth 5.4 and dual SIM. The 5500 mAh battery also has more capacity than most and supports 45 W charging.

Overall, the Pova Curve is typical among phones of its time and has a NeoScore of 6.5. It is a balanced choice for buyers prioritizing the display, slim design, connectivity and battery, provided 128 GB is enough.
