TECNO Pova – An Improvement from the Pouvoir4 Series?

 

TECNO Pova: Review One of the Best Gaming Device TECNO has released till date?




TECNO Pova, being launched in October 2020 promises great specifications for its price range. Coming out with a futuristic design, the TECNO Pova features a Quad camera setup, a large 6.8” IPS LCD screen and a USB Type-C?
In this article, the TECNO Pova is going to be looked into in-depthly.


Body

The TECNO Pova comes with a Glass front, plastic back and plastic frame.

As far as dimensions go, the TECNO Pova is gigantic! Coming in at 171.2 * 77.6 * 9.4 mm, I'd say someone with small hands would find this device a bit inconveniencing to hold over a long period of time. 

It also features a Dual SIM.


Display

TECNO Pova boasts of a “480 nits peak brightness.” This means that a user can be able to view his screen under direct sunlight seamlessly. 

Display type is IPS LCD, display size sits at 6.8” and has 82.7% screen to body ratio. 

Display resolution is 720*1640p. The 720p resolution isn't one of the best decisions for a large 6.8” screen, but it isn't too bad either. 

Media consumption would be okay, plus colours wouldn't be that off point.


Software & Performance

The TECNO Pova ships with Android 10. HiOS, (TECNO Mobile's custom OS skin) is installed with version 7.0.

Chipset; the TECNO Pova comes with the MediaTek Helio G80. The Helio G80 is built on a 12nm process technology, for improved gaming and performance overall. 

On the CPU, an Octa-core 2×2.0GHz Cortex-A75, paired with a 6×1.8GHz Cortex-A55. This is a brilliant pair, because of the power both the Coretx-A75 and Cortex-A55 possess.

GPU wise, the Mali-G52 MC2 is used here. Capable of handling graphics intensive applications and games such as PUBG, Fortnite, Asphalt 9 – you name it!


Camera

As stated earlier, the TECNO Pova features a Quad camera setup. Main camera is a 13MP auto focus lens, assisted by a 2MP depth sensor (for blurred background) and a 2MP macro lens (for close-ups). There's an Unknown lens, but we suspect that being an AI camera, for AI emoji effects? Videos can shoot up to 1440p@30fps and 1080p@30fps.

Going over to the Selfie department, an 8MP Dual-LED camera is being seen. Capable of giving clear shots for portraits and selfies. Videos can be shot up to 1080p@30fps.


Memory

The TECNO Pova comes in two storage configurations: 64GB + 4GB and 128GB + 6GB.

Prices may differ, depending on the variant picked.


Battery

The TECNO Pova features a large 6000mAh Li-Po battery, and has 18W fast charging. Sadly, it's a microUSB 2.0 cable juicing it up.


Sensors & Connectivity

A rear fingerprint sensor, accelerometer, compass and proximity are the sensors the Pova got.
