Editorial report

Tecno Pova Neo 3 technical sheet

The Tecno Pova Neo 3 suits buyers who put battery capacity first: its 7000 mAh battery is among the largest of phones of its time. The trade-off is 18 W charging, which is slower than on most phones launched around the same time, so its battery capacity and charging power tell different stories.

Its 6.82-inch display has a 90 Hz refresh rate, lower than on most phones of its time. At 263 ppi, its pixel density is among the weakest, a key detail for anyone who prioritizes screen sharpness. Hardware also ranks worse than most: the MediaTek Helio G85 scores 268,982 in AnTuTu. The configuration pairs 8 GB of RAM with 128 GB of storage, less storage than most phones of its time offer.

The camera resolution is 16 MP, lower than on most phones of its time, and the phone has no optical image stabilization. Video recording tops out at 1080p at 30 fps. Connectivity ranks worse than most phones launched around the same time; the phone includes NFC, USB Type-C and a 3.5 mm audio jack.

Overall, the Pova Neo 3 ranks worse than most phones launched around the same time, and its NeoScore is 4.0. It is best suited to buyers who prioritize a 7000 mAh battery and can accept low display pixel density, modest hardware performance and slower-than-most charging.
