Tecno has unveiled another mid-ranger, the Pova Neo 5G. The budget phone has just landed in India with decent specifications and a remarkable price tag. It should become available in other countries soon.
Design and Display
On the front, the phone has a 6.8-inch IPS LCD with 1080p resolution and a 120Hz refresh rate for smooth scrolling. The rear panel design is something similar to a diamond pattern and the fingerprint sensor sits on the side atop the power button.
Internals and Software
Internal hardware includes MediaTek’s Dimensity 810 SoC which is paired with only a single memory configuration at 4 GB/ 128 GB. You can also expand storage through a memory card.
For software, you get Tecno’s HiOS 8.6 with Android 12 on top.
Cameras
There are only two cameras on the back including a 50MP main sensor alongside an unspecified “AI” module. It likely has support for 1080p 30 FPS video recording and a few AI features. The selfie camera inside the punch-hole cutout is an 8MP shooter.
Battery and Pricing
There is a chunky 6,000 mAh battery onboard, which should keep the phone running through more than 2 days of use. It is paired with 18W wired charging.
Tecno Pova Neo 5G has a starting price of only $191. It will be available in Sapphire Black and Sprint Blue color options.
