Tecno Pova Neo specs and price in Kenya

Unboxing

The Tecno Pova Neo smartphone comes in three colors namely Obsidian, Geek blue, and Powehi. These are definitely not the names of colors you hear on a daily. Anyway, those three are the ones available and none other. Oh and included in its packaging box is a warranty card, a TPU case, earphones, a micro USB cable, and an 18W fast charger. For the built quality, the phone is made from plastic. As for IP rating, though this phone might survive occasion and hopefully accidental water dips, we advise you to be careful with it around water.

Design

For the external features at the bottom, the Tecno Pova Neo 3.5. mm jack. It has a microphone, a micro USB port (bummer), and a speaker. On the left side of the smartphone is where you’ll find the dual nano-SIM card tray and the memory card slot. Moving to the right side you are going to see the volume and power buttons. Now flip the phone to the back you will see its fingerprint scanner at the rare. It is quite a tall smartphone this one measuring 171.4 x 77.3 x 9.1 mm. This you will notice when unlocking the phone with the rear scanner. Especially if you have small hands. Still, on the rear, you will notice two cameras which we will discuss in a few. The camera module has flash LED lights by the side.

Performance

Let’s talk about that processor that Tecno Pova Neo comes with yes? The phone has a Mediatek MT6762 Helio P22 (12 nm) processor. The G25 processor with Hyper Engine technology provides smooth performance, enhanced power efficiency, and low latency connections. When it comes to multitasking, it’s decent on the smartphone. It comes with 4GB of RAM so opening multiple applications in the background and switching between them is okay. For the operating system, POVA Neo runs Android 11 with HIOS 7.6. That peak proof that allows you to guide your smartphone screen from pre eyes is quite a highlight of HIOS. Social Tobo which gives you the ability to record WhatsApp voice calls, and even change your voice on WhatsApp calls is also another notable feature.

Display

The display of the Tecno Pova Neo is a 6.8 inch IPS LCD display with a 720 x 1640 pixels resolution. This display is a 60 Hz refresh rate panel, but with a 120 Hz touch sampling rate. The display brightness is at 295 nits which means it is a bit dim when used under harsh light conditions. Usually under direct sunlight. Now since this display is large, you can always turn on the one-hand feature to make it manageable. So what’s it like watching videos on this smartphone? Well, the large displays an advantage. Consuming media on this display is immersive. But Tecno POVA 2 has a better display if we are to look at it from a resolution standpoint. An average display on the Pova Neo is how I would rank it.

Cameras

Now we look at the cameras. Tecno Pova Neo comes with an 8 MP front-facing camera. On the back, you will notice two lenses. These are made up of a 13 MP, (wide), AF main shooter and a second VGA camera. There really isn’t much to report here. Let us just say that the main camera will be the highlight here since it does take nice pictures for the price. The trick here is, hold your phone steady while you shoot and do not zoom in. That way you will appreciate the results better. Video recording is capped at 1080p@30fps with both the main and selfie shooter.

Battery

The battery capacity is one of the main features of the Tecno Pova Neo. It comes with Li-Po 6000 mAh, a non-removable battery that will last the entire day. For charging using the 18W fast charger, it takes about two hours to charge the smartphone from zero to 100%.

Our take

The major highlights of the Tecno Pova Neo are that it has a 6,000 mAh battery, comes with an 18 Watts fast charger, a huge 6.8 inch IPS LCD display with a 120 Hz touch sampling rate. The 6,000 mAh battery is huge and you will only need to charge this smartphone once. Build quality is good on this smartphone and the display size is also a catch. Otherwise, have a look at the TECNO Pova before deciding to buy.
