Editorial report

Tecno Pova Neo 2 technical sheet

The Tecno Pova Neo 2 suits buyers who put battery capacity first: its 7000 mAh battery is among the largest of phones from its time. The trade-off is weaker standing for the display, camera and performance than phones launched around the same time.

Its 6.82-inch IPS LCD display pairs a 90 Hz refresh rate with 500 nits brightness and 263 ppi. Pixel density is among the weakest of its time; refresh rate and brightness are also worse than most. At 230 g and 9.6 mm thick, the phone is heavier and thicker than most phones from its time.

This version has 4 GB RAM and 64 GB storage, with expandable storage. Its RAM and AnTuTu result of 225,154 are worse than most phones of its time. The rear main camera has 16 MP resolution, lower than most, and the camera ranks among the weakest of the period. Charging at 18 W and connectivity are typical. The phone also has NFC, USB Type-C, dual SIM and Bluetooth 5.0.

With a NeoScore of 3.9, the Pova Neo 2 makes most sense for buyers who prioritize battery capacity and can accept substantial compromises in display, camera and performance.
