Design and display
The design of the Tecno Pova 6 Pro is striking, but similar to other Tecno smartphones. However, it comes with a new coat of paint. The smartphone is now available in two colors, Comet Green and Meteorite Grey. It features a modern flat design with a matte finish and a unique pattern on the back.
The flat design is reminiscent of the iPhone’s design and honestly, it looks great. The smartphone’s design is non-slip and has an IP53 rating for dust and splash resistance. On the front, you get a large 6.78-inch AMOLED display with a 120Hz refresh rate. This is an FHD+ display with color correction, so it will provide a great experience when watching movies and TV series.
The screen can reach a brightness of up to 1300 nits, making it a pleasure to use outdoors. The display bezels are extremely large, giving the impression of a flagship-level smartphone. However, there is no screen protection of any kind.
Memory and internal
The Tecno Pova 6 Pro is equipped with 6nm MediaTek Dimensity 6080 5G that is capable of reaching clock speeds of 2×2.4 GHz. Its octa-core CPU configuration has enough power and performance to handle multiple applications in the background at the same time without consuming much energy. This level of performance from this chipset is also seen on the gaming side.
The Mali-G57 MC2 GPU is enough to run games like PUBGm, Summoners War, and even CODm at decent frame rates. However, it cannot play graphics-intensive games like Genshin Impact as smoothly. The smartphone also has a decent cooling capacity, so it does not overheat. The smartphone can be purchased with up to 8GB/12GB of RAM and 256GB of internal storage.
There is also 5G connectivity that will offer low latency for even better gaming performance, especially in online games. You will also get the latest Android 14 out of the box with HIOS 14 UI for better customization support. The smartphone also has a 3.5mm headphone jack and a microSDXC expansion slot.
Camera
The Tecno Pova 6 Pro comes with a 108MP camera system. The main camera has a 108MP sensor and the photographs from this camera have great detail and a high dynamic range. The color range also looks great and natural. There is also portrait mode and the photos taken with this mode are also decent with a pretty good blurred background.
However, the night mode surely takes photography to the next level. With night mode, you get cleaner, noise-free images that not only look good but are also ready to post on social media. On the front, there is a 32MP selfie camera that can take great selfies in terms of details.
For video recording, the phone manages to record up to 1440P@30FPS from the rear camera, while the selfie camera maxes out at 1200p@30FPS. However, there is no video stabilization of any kind.
Battery and others
The Techno Pova 6 Pro has a massive 6000 mAh battery and will easily last for 2-3 days. This is the result of using a large battery combined with a low-power chipset. Even with gaming and intense multitasking, the smartphone should last a full day. When the battery is running low, you can recharge it with the included 70W wired fast charger.
This fast charger can fully charge the battery in about 50 minutes. The Tecno Pova 6 Pro also comes with dual-band Wi-Fi 5, Bluetooth 5.3, stereo speakers, an under-display fingerprint sensor, and a USB Type-C for charging. The smartphone comes with a starting price of $217 (Rs 17,990 in India) approximately.
