Editorial report

Tecno Pova technical sheet

The Tecno Pova suits buyers who put battery capacity first and can accept a modest display. Its 480-nit peak brightness is below average for phones launched around the same time, while its 263 ppi density is among the lowest. Those are notable compromises on a 6.8-inch screen.

The 6,000 mAh battery capacity is among the highest of phones from its time. Charging at 18 W is average, rather than a standout among those phones. Performance and hardware are above average; the Pova pairs a MediaTek Helio G80 with 6 GB of RAM and 128 GB of expandable storage. A memory card can add storage beyond the built-in capacity.

The camera is worse than most phones launched around the same time: its resolution is 13 MP and its aperture is f/1.9, both worse than most. Connectivity is also below average, although the phone has dual SIM, dual-band Wi-Fi and Bluetooth 5.0. Its overall NeoScore is 4.4, below average. The Tecno Pova is best suited to buyers who value a large battery more than a stronger display or camera.
